As the pandemic takes over how we function in society, many are concerned about their health as we are encouraged to stay indoors for everyone’s safety. This means that we are lacking essential vitamins and nutrients in our immune system for our overall health.
Young and old alike are certainly worried about not getting the required vitamins — vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc. According to Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, “Adequate amounts of minerals and vitamins provided by a healthy diet helps to ensure sufficient numbers of immune cells and antibodies, which are important as the body mounts a response to infections.”
Boosting the immune system with supplements is key to staying healthy and fighting off infections. According to Health Europa: “The problem is that people simply aren’t eating enough of these nutrients. This could destroy your resistance to infections. Consequently, we will see an increase in disease and all of the extra burdens that go along with that increase.”
There’s been a trend in vitamin gummies over the last few months as many are adding a daily intake of sufficient vitamins to their diet. We have rounded up a list of vitamins that you could try out.
