Cold-Proof Winter Healing Protocol<\/h3>\n

 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Vitamin C (1000mg)<\/b><\/p>\n
????<\/b>\u00a0Take 1000-1500mg every 4 hours with food to support immune defense and reduce cold duration.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Zinc (15\u201330mg)<\/b><\/div>\n
????\u00a0<\/b>Take once in the a.m. and once in the p.m. with food (avoid on an empty stomach to prevent nausea). Zinc supports white blood cell function and viral resistance.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Vitamin D3 (1000\u20134000 IU)<\/b><\/div>\n
????\u00a0<\/b>Take 3000 IU once in the a.m. and once in the p.m. with a meal containing fat. Low D levels are linked to increased cold and flu susceptibility, especially in winter.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Quercetin (250-500mg)<\/b><\/div>\n
????\u00a0<\/b>Take once in the a.m. and once in the p.m with food. Quercetin is a natural zinc ionophore, meaning it helps transport zinc into your cells\u2014where it can do its immune-boosting work.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Elderberry Extract (500mg or per label)<\/b><\/div>\n
????\u00a0<\/b>Take 1\u20132 times daily at the onset of symptoms or during cold season. Elderberry has antiviral properties and may reduce symptom severity.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
Probiotics (10\u201350 billion CFUs)<\/b><\/div>\n
????\u00a0<\/b>Take once daily before bed or first thing in the morning. Gut health = immune health.<\/div>\n
