IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT: ASHWAGANDHA

Oh, WHAT A TIME to be a vitamin enthusiast! I have been getting more questions about supplements that support the immune system than ever before. Although I wish it was under different circumstances, I am ALWAYS delighted to share my love of natural remedies with the world.

Most people know about the basics (Vitamin C, Zinc, Echinacea) so over the next few weeks I’ll post about some of the less commonly known supplements that support the immune system.

ASHWAGANDHA

Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal herb, classified as an adaptogen.

Research has shown Ashwagandha can:

✩ Increase antioxidant levels in the blood + reduce inflammation in the body

✩ Relieve stress + lower cortisol levels

✩ Improve brain function + concentration + memory

✩ Lower blood sugar + improve insulin sensitivity in muscle cells

✩ Fight symptoms of anxiety and depression

✩ Decrease cholesterol and triglycerides

✩ Boost testosterone and increases fertility in men

AND...Research is now showing Ashwagandha MIGHT have anti-cancer properties!! (Breast, lung, colon, brain, and ovarian cancers are currently being researched!)

The one I take is from Further Food and the discount code is SAVE5 if you want to try it out! Be sure to always check with your wellness advisors when starting new supplements!

Tell me, friends, are you taking any supplements to support your immune system right now? If so, which ones?
