Extra Zinc+Vit C
And Tea, lots of tea

Yes, those are always a bonus. I also seem to have success using echinacea/goldenseal extract.

My PCP recently recommended black elderberry extract, and the research on that seems quite impressive to combat viral and bacterial infections. I used it the last time I got a cold and seemed to get over it a few days after. Always hard to tell if that would have been my natural course anyway.

I am currently fighting off a cold again and am utilizing the black elderberry extract syrup again, along with lots of vitamin-c and just my usual intake of zinc I get thru my multi as well as gut health. I should have picked up some zinc capsules too though.

I'll usually supplement in some ester-C to add along side my normal multi and i'm usually good to go.

Epicor- Best on the market IMO. Patented with human research. The stuff is cheap and majority effective. Increases macrophages, NK cells, mucusal barriers and acts a as a prebiotic.

Wellmune - another patented product with human research. Believe it is a betaglucan product.

AHCC - Over 800 published studies and the first go to for immune support in Japanese hospitals. Increases NK cells, and is used by many cancer patients. Also show to "eradicate the HPV virus." A little on the pricey side though.

Swanson sells a product called Wellcor- that is a blend of Epicor and Wellmune.

Well I just got this product had a cold going on I got from my son and this knocked it out. Something I will take low dose daily and increase dosage if I feel something coming on.

I thought the profile was pretty good.

Vitamin C, echinacea, lysine, probiotics, apple cider vinegar (with splash of lemon juice and honey), zinc and astragalus.

Had a cold for the last 3 days and using capsaicin heavily, 5 grams several times during the day. I usually get that pain in your ears with a cold, didn't get that and the cold has subsided.

Wow...this all sound like great options. thank you!

 

[Voldyne]

Just saw all the other input from other people too. All sounds great!

I have a cold and am slamming these two concoctions to see if they help.

The green slimy **** is called “Dragon’s Breath”: garlic, ginger, jalapeño, lemon, cayenne and protective essential oils.

The orange **** is called “Bunny Love”: carrot, apple, ginger and lemon.

Hopefully this works!

Probiotic-sportbiotic, gut health, glutamine- Millennium sport Glutamine 500 or 1000 tm (ajipure), Vit C, Mushrooms are a great choice.

 

[mbonheur]

Ma Huang tea and Maral root tea, works every time

Mushrooms

Agreed. A good source of Cordyceps Militaris should be loaded with beta-glucans and other beneficial polysaccharides.

 

[TommyTuffGuy]

1.) Olive Leaf Extract
2.) Colloidal Silver
3.) Extract Allicin (Garlic) or Raw, Crushed Garlic
