Recently, the FDA and the FTC issued warning letters to seven companies for selling fraudulent COVID-19 products - primarily dietary supplement formulations. It is no surprise that consumers are seeking ways and products in hopes of bolstering their health and immunity amid the very real perils of COVID-19. I’ve also gotten questions about dietary supplements and what might help support immunity. Truly, eating a varied, balanced, and adequate primarily plant-based diet is your best strategy to promote health and maintain immunity. But if your diet is lacking variety or you are undereating you might benefit from a multivitamin mineral supplement. And while supplementation is an individual consideration, making sure intake is adequate for nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc is important. Most all essential nutrients play some role in supporting your immune system as well as your overall health – so again, variety and adequate intake of all groups of foods to meet your nutrient and energy needs are your best overall strategy.
