Can I take something to boost my immune system?

Thank you for your question!

There are no products, vitamins or supplements that have been shown to be effective or beneficial for the immune system in adults and children.

Instead, look at non-pharmacological measures: make sure you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, get adequate sleep, and manage stress well if possible, among others. If one of the children or household members is sick, simply maintain basic hygiene measures: avoid hugging, if possible, do not share towels, and wash hands often.

Finally, if you are prone to colds, I strongly suggest, as maintenance and prevention, sinus hygiene with a saline solution like Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse.

This is the best option to prevent the accumulation of secretions. There is no maximum during the day, but it should be done at least 30 minutes before bedtime.

I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if there's anything I can do
