Cold and Flu Vitamin Cocktail
for Immune System Health
Over the past few years a lot has been learned about the immune system. Viral infections such as the Flu and mucosal infections such as the Common Cold have shown evidence that they respond well to the following vitamin cocktail. At Super Cyber Mall we are providing this page for those in search of these vitamin supplements.
Although many studies have shown the effectiveness of supplementation in the prevention of disease and the reduction of the severity of disease few have shown effectiveness of supplementation for treatment of acute disease. Oral supplements and even the vitamin D created by sunlight are not the actual vitamin molecules necessary for a healthy immune system. It takes days for the liver and the kidneys to create the actual vitamin molecules. Therefore if supplementation is started after becoming infected it is too late for the supplements to do much good. These supplements must be already in place in the body, some being stored in fat cells, before being exposed to an infectious agent.
There are numerous study results published on the internet. We have provided links to just a few. Visit this page often as we will modify the list of internet articles as new information becomes available.

Three vitamins, minerals to boost your immune system and fight COVID-19
Earlier this year, Palacios collaborated with a team of international experts to develop a guide, which was published in the official journal of the Latin American Society of Nutrition (SLAN), to help frontline workers protect their health through supplements and food. During the webinar, Palacios shared some of those recommendations—which are applicable for adults in the general public, as cities continue to reopen.
Here are the top three supplements adults should consider taking.
1. Vitamin C. This vitamin has been hailed for years as a go-to source for aiding the immune system. Palacios said vitamin C is vital for the health of leukocytes, a type of white blood cells that help fight infections. It’s particularly important during a pandemic. She recommends adults take a supplement of 1000 mg twice every day.
She also recommended consuming foods rich in vitamin C. These foods include the classics of orange juice and oranges as well as other citric fruits and vegetables including grapefruit, strawberries, tomatoes and cranberries.
2. Vitamin D. Most often we get our vitamin D through the sun, but throughout this time, Palacios said, taking a supplement is a good idea. She added that studies have shown that low levels of vitamin D have been associated with a greater risk of developing respiratory conditions in adults and children.
In fact, studies have begun to show that people with vitamin D deficiencies are at a higher risk of getting infected by the COVID-19 virus. The time to act is now.
Palacios recommended adults take a supplement of vitamin D3 of 1000 International Units (IU) once or twice per day, consumed during meals.
Additionally, you can boost your intake of vitamin D by eating fish and other foods fortified with the vitamin.
For those who have a vitamin D deficiency, consult with your doctor or dietician for an accurate dosage of the supplement.
3. Zinc. Palacios said that zinc is crucial for normal development and functioning of cells mediating part of the immune system. She added that studies have shown that increased concentrations of zinc can inhibit the replication of viruses like poliovirus and SARS-coronavirus.
She recommended adults take a zinc supplement of 40 mg or less once a day.

Common Supplements Might Reduce COVID Severity
The Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) and other healthcare organizations have incorporated a mix of readily available agents into their management protocol for COVID-19, while acknowledging that “there is very limited data (and none specific for COVID-19)” for the combinations.
For prophylaxis, the medical school recommends vitamin C (500 mg) and quercetin (250 mg-500 mg twice a day) with zinc (75 mg-100 mg per day), melatonin (0.3 mg-2 mg) each night, and vitamin D3 (1,000-4,000 IU per day). Famotidine (20 mg-40 mg per day) may be added to the mix. For patients with mild symptoms, EVMS recommends the same combination, with optional additions of ivermectin (150 ug-200 ug per kg as a single dose), and one low-dose or regular aspirin per day.

Vitamin D, Now Conclusive
Definitive Evidence from Meta-Analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis
Now we now know that Vitamin D supplementation provides substantial benefit in terms of reducing admission to intensive care during the CoronaVirus pandemic. 72% is the probable figure; certainly substantial, and it probably also gives us a 51% protection against death with Vitamin D supplementation.

Vitamin D and COVID-19 Research
There is evidence that vitamin D may prevent or improve outcomes in many infectious and inflammatory conditions including acute and chronic respiratory infections. There is also an increasing understanding of its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory functions. A recent meta-analysis found a 70% reduction in viral respiratory tract infections among persons with vitamin D deficiency randomized to vitamin D treatment.
