Immunity & Recovery

Nothing prevents every infection, but genuine shortfalls in vitamin D, zinc or iron do measurably weaken your defences — and healing is building work that needs materials.

What actually helps
  • Correcting a real deficiency rather than stacking six products.
  • Zinc started within a day of symptoms, not on day four.
  • Protein at every meal while recovering from surgery or a wound.
  • Sleep, which affects immunity more than most supplements do.
