Below is what we take daily and like to call it our "INVISIBLE MASK" to combat flus, viruses and COVID19. Based on our research, we have taken them daily and have for years - due to our Cancer diagnosis - me for 14 yrs, hubby for 4. I also have my entire family on these supplements as well and not one has been sick since the pandemic hit 10 months ago. We take many more powders, etc but we know these 5 are the key to our immune system and will help to keep viruses away. If you have decided to take the vaccination, taking these is equally important.

Recommendations by age
Below are the brands we take - You can order from any of the choices below or get from your favorite store.
VITAMIN C
Natural Source of Vitamin C
*Beyond Vitamin C Powder - Vitamin C helps with immune defense by supporting various cellular functions within the immune system. However, most vitamin c supplements on the market contain a poor-quality isolate called ascorbic acid. This is not true vitamin c, but a synthetic version that is hard for your body to utilize. This formula is packed with acerola cherries, and some ascorbic acid hips which are the highest known sources of vitamin c. There are versions that don't have any ascorbic acid but too costly for us. In addition to vitamin C, all of the extra vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other phytonutrients contained in these berries will also help build the immune system.

Vitamin D3
Make sure you get D3 not D2 - I buy this one because it has Vitamin K2 in it which helps prevent complications associated with excessive calcification in your arteries.
Vitamin K2 deficiency is typically what produces symptoms of “vitamin D toxicity.”

Zinc and Quercetin
Zinc stops viral replication multiple ways, so it prevents the virus from hijacking your DNA, AND prevents the virus from replicating. It also prevents the virus from entering the cell, so zinc is very important.
QUERCETIN
Opens the cell channel and allows zinc to enter - this is a great Covid preventative measure. Quercetin opens up the cells in your body so that zinc can get inside your cells, where it works. So think of quercetin as the key. Think of zinc as the repairman, that is allowed into the house, so-to-speak," says Dr. Osborne.

MAGNESIUM
Magnesium is good for the the conversion of vitamin D into its active form. Without sufficient amounts of magnesium, your body cannot properly utilize the vitamin D you’re taking. If you do add this the higher magnesium intake helps reduce your risk of vitamin D deficiency by activating more of it.
