The 5 Best Supplements To Boost Your Immune System

Disorders of the immune system are among the most common problems affecting potentially every organ and function of the body. They lead to inflammation, pain, and even cancer. Knowing the best supplements to boost immune system function can help stave off these life-threatening disorders before they start.

Among the worst of the non-cancer immune problems are the autoimmune diseases. Some, like Alzheimer’s syndrome, Crohn’s disease, and multiple sclerosis, will no doubt sound familiar. But there is an extensive library of autoimmune diseases, most of which you have probably never heard of.

(*In deference to the flow of reading, a more complete list of autoimmune diseases has been moved to the bottom of this article.)

Interestingly, even though genetic-based autoimmune disorders run in families, a single generation may present with different specific disorders. For example, one family member may present with rheumatoid arthritis, while another member may have lupus or psoriasis.

Let’s look at the top 5 best supplements to boost immune system function. Some may surprise you.

Autogenic Training.
As with all problems, the number one cause of manifesting an immune problem is stress. So, topping the list of immune system boosters is a mental health supplement.
Actually, it’s not a supplement in the way you probably think of a supplement. It’s a mental practice of stress reduction.
Autogenic Training is the foundation of Biogenics®, and it has the power to reduce stress in several forms, including anxiety and depression.
Vitamin D3, B-complex, vitamin C, and astaxanthin.
Optimal nutrient immune enhancers.
1. Plant-based enhancers: citrus, red bell peppers, broccoli, garlic, ginger, spinach, almonds, sunflower seeds, turmeric, papaya, Kiwi, green tea, aloe vera, Asian ginseng, astragalus, basil, and chamomile.
2. Animal-based enhancers: plain yogurt, poultry, and shellfish.
The mushroom family: chaga, maitake, oyster mushrooms, reishi, shitake, turkey tail cordyceps, lion’s mane, and rhodiola.
Herbs: echinacea, Ganoderma, goldenseal, Kakadu root, neem, olive leaf, oregano, peppermint, rooibos, rosemary, sage, and thyme.

Interestingly, one of the essentials for healthy immune function isn’t a supplement at all. It’s a mainstay of healthy living. Physical exercise.

Having a sedentary lifestyle is as harmful as smoking one or two packs of cigarettes every day.

Beyond this list of the best supplements to boost immune system function are other health choices that are mentally and spiritually driven.

Attitude, thinking, behavior, and habits are truly the compass to your health. Where they point will direct the path of your life’s longevity and quality.

With that in mind, focus on thinking positively about health. Remember that every thought – every word – is a prayer.

Detach from worry and negativity. And eat, drink, and act health.

(P.S. Although it’s not a supplement, Fire Bliss, applied once a day, is one of the best ways to treat autoimmune diseases.)
