Anyone know anything about vitamin or herb supplements?

[Adrianna]

I'm sick of getting sick. Sick of it I tell ya!! Every month I get some dreaded thing, heck if I look at somebody wrong I get sick - my immune system must a bit, how you say, crapped out. Anyone familiar with what supplements are available for boosting your immune system?

I'm not an expert but I know what works for me...
I was feeling really awful so, at Sam's Club I picked up the Bottle of Vitamin B complex....it works wonders!

If I'm coming down with a cold...I use Goldenseal and Ecinchea(sp) from Trader Joes...
Good luck!

Vitamin B and Vitamin C - great for the immune system.

I take 500 mg. of Vitamin C each day to bolster the immune system, in addition to a regular multi-vitamin. Try to find Ester C if you can. It is a non-acidic form of Vitamin C and is much easier on the stomach. If there are germs in your home/workplace you can increase the dosage.

If the kids are bringing germs home from school I also take Echinacea with Golden Seal Complex. Although the two can be purchased separately, try to get the complex. Also, important with Echinacea don't take it for extended periods of time. You should follow a one week on/one week off pattern. You can build up a resistance to its benefits.

Hope this helps.
