During this hectic time, I’ve been getting so many questions about COVID-19 and what I recommend build or keep your immune system strong to prevent illness! I’ll be releasing a podcast soon about what I recommend overall for boosting your immunity, but here are important supplements to take in the meantime.
Risa’s Anti-Flu Shot- This is an immunity boosting tonic that tastes great! I’ll attach the recipe for the mixture with your purchase. I recommend 1-2 servings a day for prevention and 2-3 servings if you’re sick. For anyone under 80 pounds, I would recommend only 1 serving per day. Email to purchase, shipping or pick-up available.
D3 Ultra- Vitamin D is critically important for immunity! A healthy immune system has between 80-100 on their blood work but most people are deficient. I recommend 10,000-30,000 IU’s per day for prevention and the tonic has 5,000 IU’s per serving so keep that in mind. You can always boost your immune system with up to 50,000 IU’s per day for only up to 3 days. Best taken with food but fine on an empty stomach. 80 pounds or less take 5,000 IU’s. Purchase online or in office, shipping or pick-up available.
Omega Max – These are your Essential Fatty Acids, DHA and EPA which are critical for inflammation! Disease lives in an inflamed body. The vitamin A in here will also help with immunity and prevent fevers. Purchase online or in office, shipping or pick-up available.
Enzyme Max - This is a digestive enzyme. Our stomach should be acidic and our blood alkalized. Virus’ and bacterias will thrive in an alkalized environment so this will help keep our guts acidic. I recommend taking 1 per meal. Don’t take without food. Not necessary for small children as they are probably producing enough acid. Purchase online or in office, shipping or pick-up available.
Zinc- I recommend taking 1 per day if not sick and 2 per day if sick.Email to purchase, shipping or pick-up available.
Glutathione – This is our master antioxidant which we need for protection. Especially important for those with a compromised immune system (i.e. with an autoimmune disease)! This is imperative for immunity! I have in both capsule and liquid form. If purchased from my office take 2 capsules per day or 5ml 2x daily for liquid. Those with cancer should only take the capsule form. Email to purchase,shipping or pick-up available.
If you have symptoms or get the coronavirus – contact us as we will add an anti-viral and vitamin A.
The D3 Ultra, Omega Max, and Enzyme Max are all available on my website, but please email or call for all other product purchases at info@risagrouxnutrition.com or(949) 851-3106. We are currently still open during this crazy time and will continue to ship product. I can do appointments by phone/video as well.
