Fighting Nasty Viruses, Functionally

See this content in the original post

It’s been a rough week in my household! Three out of four of us are struggling with some form of viral infection, and it’s been tough! Sometimes we just need to sit down, rest, and recover. We rarely allow ourselves to do that - sometimes getting sick is what it takes.

When it comes to viral infections, like the flu and COVID, prescription medications don’t always help us get better faster. Steriods can give us an artificial boost of energy and a break from pain, but ultimately they do not kill the viruses.

So I put together a collection of supplements that will fortify your immune system and shorten the duration of your illness. Offered in my FullScript dispensary, these are high-quality, tested supplements that I believe in and prescribe to my patients.

  • Vitamin C

  • Glutathione

  • Vitamin D

  • and a great Anti-Viral Combo

These are not just regular vitamins you pick up in the grocery store or on Amazon. These are high quality, high concentration supplements that pack a punch and are tested and vetted. Click the link below to be taken right to the specific supplements I recommend.

These viruses are serious and need to be taken seriously, especially if you have pre-existing conditions. The supplements above help us stay stronger and fight them, so we can get back to living our lives sooner.

I wish you good health and a quick recovery!
