Fighting Colds & the Flu
Are there supplements that I can take to prevent from getting sick during the cold and flu season?
This time of year can be stressful, and stress can lower your body’s ability to fight off infection leaving you more susceptible to viruses. That’s why it is important to build up your immunity with a type of cold and flu kit before you get sick. Products that help prevent colds and flu are Esberitox, Engystol and Head, Chest & Flu from South River Compounding Pharmacy. Antioxidants like vitamin C, Zinc Lozenges and Echinacea also help build up your immunity so your body is better able to build up a resistance and fight off viruses. If you don’t have time or are uncomfortable taking a flu shot the next best thing is taking regular Engystol supplements.
At the first sign of a cold or flu you can also take Esberitox and Engystol which will help shorten the duration of a cold or flu virus. Gripp-Heel will help treat flu symptoms like aches and pains. Another popular treatment used for Congestion is Ivy Calm. Ivy Calm helps open up the lungs and has been a staple of professional performers and singers that need to get back on stage quickly for years.
For compromised immune systems, such as those of patients undergoing chemotherapy, I strongly recommend a product called SGS (sulforaphane glusinolate). SGS is an indirect antioxidant that does not neutralize free radicals directly, but rather boosts phase 2 enzymes that trigger ongoing and long-lasting antioxidant activity. SGS is found in high concentration in young broccoli sprouts and also in kale and cabbage.
You can learn more about these options by coming by our store or calling (804) 897-6447.
