Your immune system is constantly fighting to keep you healthy. And sometimes it needs a little help—especially during back-to-school and winter seasons. Build up your family’s natural defense systems with immune-supporting supplements, such as vitamin C and açaí. Other products, such as lysine and cod liver oil, may help support people managing autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis.

Tips for Buying Immunity Products & Supplements

1. Read the labels. Not all supplements are created equal. Be sure to read the labels so you know exactly what’s in the supplement you’re taking and how best to use it. Most dietary supplements don’t offer immediate results and need to be taken over a period of time to be effective.
2. Use a reputable source of information. Before taking immunity supplements, make sure you do your homework and discuss your options with your doctor. Some immunity supplements are well-supported by research, while others are supported by traditional use or only anecdotal evidence. This Vitamin Guide, for example, is a great source of information. Know what you’re taking and why, and have it written down somewhere in case you need to show your doctor or caregiver.
3. Decide on the best formula. Immune-boosting products come in many different forms—powders you add to drinks, quick-dissolve tablets, traditional capsules or tablets you swallow, and so on. Choose the ones that work best for you and your family.
4. Talk with your doctor. Remember to consult your doctor before adding immunity supplements to your self-care routine, as different people have different nutritional needs and some supplements may interact with medications and foods. Taking extra care is especially important for children and seniors.
