I take celexa and syntroid as my regular medications.

Question

Hello, I would like to know what is more effective for the cold season. Probiotics or Echinacea (Echinaforce)? I have 2 young children at home who started the cpe in August and since I always catch their virus I would like to boost my immune system. Thank you for your precious answer.

Hello and thank you for your question :) In fact, echinacea could interact with your celery, so I would not recommend this product. For probiotics, although it is a good way to have a healthy intestinal flora, I don't think there are any studies showing a better immune defense. There is no interaction between a probiotic and your medication. The best way to protect yourself from infections is to adopt healthy lifestyle habits (healthy diet, exercise, sleep and stress management). Not always easy with our busy lives I agree, but still proven effective :) I wish you a great weekend, Emmanuelle
