Your immune system does an excellent job of defending you against disease-causing microbes.

Along with healthy lifestyle choices you’ll have to nourish your immune system with proper nutrients to maximize its efficiency.

If your body lacks even in a single nutrient, it may ultimately change your immune response. That’s why you need to follow a healthy diet and proper supplementation to safeguard your immunity levels.

Poor nourishment could lead to a higher risk of viral, bacterial, and other infections. The good news is that the right immune supplement can help support optimal functioning of your immunity and respiratory system.

But, if you pick the wrong one, results could be minimal or may even cause harm. To give you a clear idea let’s start with the basics.

Immune Supplements: Why Are They Important?

Nourishing foods rich in vitamins and minerals could help your immune system fight off illness. For example, take vitamin C, it's one of the biggest immune system boosters. A lack of it may make you prone to sickness.

Likewise, vitamin B6 is essential to support biochemical reactions in your immune system. Similarly, vitamin E is a potent antioxidant that helps your body fight off infection.

All is well; until your nutrient intake is sufficient. But if you become deficient in one or more essential nutrients, your immunity may suffer.

As you live your life in the fast lane, though you eat a healthy diet, there could be some gaps in it––which may lead to deficiency.

A supplement that fills all the gaps could be the best possible solution.

So if you're wondering how to choose the best supplement, here are 5 criteria to select your best supplement.

#1. Check the ingredients

The supplement you need to pick needs to have the combination of ingredients for enhanced effectiveness. It needs to have vitamins and minerals that are vital to keep your immune system healthy. The most effective ingredients are Vitamin C, E, B6, Zinc, Elderberry, Echinacea, Garlic, Turmeric, Probiotics, and Amino Acids. With the combination of these ingredients, you are assured that your body gets the required amount of these immune-boosting nutrients that will help defend your body from diseases caused by deficiencies and other inevitable environmental factors.

#2. Avoid Supplements With Too Many Ingredients

Many supplement brands deceive the market by practicing “fairy dusting” - it basically means including a tiny amount of a nutrient in a formula and listing the ingredient on the product label, even though the dose is far too small to be effective. This commonly happens when supplements include too many ingredients in a formula.

#3. Avoid Gummies - They Are Not As Effective As You Think And Could Be Dangerous

Although gummies may look more appealing, the vitamin's active ingredients have been degraded by exposure to light, air, moisture, heat, or poor storage conditions. It also contains artificial colors that have been linked to various health issues and they defeat the purpose of taking vitamins.

#4. Supplements With Too Few Ingredients Hardly Work

We may think by taking supplements with 3 - 4 ingredients; we are increasing the chances of getting better results and receiving double effectiveness.

But the truth is that the secret of a powerful immunity support formula starts with the RIGHT COMBINATION OF CERTAIN NUTRIENTS so your body gets the immunity support it needs to keep a healthy level.

#5. Supplement Must Be Made By A GMP Certified And FDA Registered Facility

Investing in your health and wellness would be the best decision you will ever make, and for your safety, the least you can do is to use products from a faithful company committed to provide the highest-quality products - preferably by a manufacturer that has FDA registered facility, is GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) compliant and follows all pertinent FDA regulatory requirements.
