Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin D, Vitamin C – Balancing all the Players – Carolyn Dean MD ND
Magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin C, and zinc – all important players in the role of immune support. But how to know what to take and when to take it is the next line of inquiry from a public that’s pretty new to the idea that you can actually fortify your immune system with nutrients to support the structure and function of the body and protect against respiratory infections and illnesses.
Now, it’s important to note that there’s currently no cure for COVID-19 and no preventive measures other than physical distancing, also known as social distancing, and proper hygiene practices to protect you from the virus.
That said, timely, accurate, emerging research shows having healthy levels of magnesium, zinc, vitamins D, and C fortify your immune system and protect you against a myriad of environmental threats including viruses.
So what’s the next step? If you are new to considering a beneficial, natural approach to immune system support, determining your current level of nutritional deficiency may be in order. At-home testing kits for magnesium, vitamin D, and thyroid, essential fatty acids as well as an elements panel that reveals your zinc levels are available through Dr. Dean’s website. You can also speak to your family physician about getting this testing done through your local lab.
Unless you’ve made a specific effort to include daily supplementation in your current health regime you are more than likely to be magnesium or mineral deficient as well as vitamin D deficient. Over 80% of American’s are magnesium deficient and 42% reported to be Vitamin D deficient. Embarking on a daily supplementation plan is exciting and will offer you incremental improvement in every area of your life including immune support.
On tonight’s radio show we’ll talk about balancing all these nutrients and building a protocol that works for you along with other recommendations for what you can do throughout the rest of the spring and summer to fortify your body for normalizing interactions around the planet!
