Meet the Immune Defenders: Your Active Illness Support

updated on 10/02/24

Getting sick is never convenient—especially during a busy social season. But with a little planning, you can be prepared to tackle seasonal bugs the moment symptoms start to show.

In our last blog, we covered the Immune Defenders Prevention protocol—Dr. Morrison’s trusted suite of supplements to help keep your immune system strong through the colder months. Now, we’re diving into Dr. Morrison’s Active Support Immune Defenders: the supplements you’ll want to have on hand to tackle symptoms as soon as they arise. Some of these are prevention staples, but when you’re sick, you’ll want to adjust the dosage for maximum support.

Core Immune Defenders: Boost Your Immune Response

These supplements support your immune system and are crucial during active illness. Increase the dosage during sickness to help your body fight off infections effectively.

• Buffered Vitamin C (2 capsules, 2x/day)
  Vitamin C boosts the function of white blood cells, essential for fighting infections. Dr. Morrison’s buffered vitamin C is formulated for maximum absorption while being gentle on the stomach.
• Isoquercetin (2 capsules, 2x/day)
  Isoquercetin, a bioavailable form of quercetin, helps regulate and enhance immune responses. It works synergistically with zinc, making it a key part of both prevention and active illness recovery.
• Reacted Zinc **(1 capsule, 2x/day with food)
  Zinc is essential for bolstering white blood cells, which help fight off viruses and infections. This patented, highly absorbable form ensures your immune system quickly gets the zinc it needs.

Specialized Immune Support: Immediate Action for Symptoms

These supplements provide specialized support for when you're experiencing symptoms of illness, helping you recover more quickly and effectively.

• Bee Propolis (2 droppersful, 3x/day)
  This organic propolis, produced by local Catskills bees, is a powerful remedy when you feel the first sign of a sore throat. It can reduce the severity of upper respiratory infections when used early.
• Andrographis **(2 tablets, 2x/day)
  Andrographis is a traditional ayurvedic herb with potent antiviral properties. Combined with holy basil and echinacea, it provides strong immune stimulation during illness.
• Argentyn 23 (2 sprays each nostril & throat, 2x/day)
  Silver is a potent antimicrobial that inhibits pathogens on contact. This silver spray can help slow the progression of a nasal or throat infection when used at the earliest sign of symptoms.
• NAC (2 capsules, 3x/day)
  NAC is a specialized antioxidant that has been widely studied for its benefits in acute viral infections. It acts as a natural decongestant and supports overall immune function during illness.

Supplementary Immune Boost: Ongoing Support

These supplements offer continued immune support, even as you recover from illness, ensuring a faster and more complete recovery.

• Daily Flora Immune (1 capsule, daily)
  Continue taking this research-backed probiotic blend during illness to maintain a healthy gut, which supports your immune system as it fights off infections.
• Vitamin D3/K2 (2 capsules, daily for 10 days)
  Sickness quickly depletes your body’s vitamin D stores, so supplementing with D3 and K2 supports stronger immune function and helps balance inflammation during recovery.

If you already have our Prevention Protocol, be sure to add Andrographis, Argentyn 23, and NAC for extra support when you start feeling under the weather. We want you to get well as quickly as possible!
