What are the Best Immune Support Liquid Brands?
What Is an Immune Support Liquid?
An immune support liquid is formulated to enhance your body's natural protection against contagious viruses, including but not limited to rhinovirus - aka the common cold - and influenza. Although immune support capsules and chewable gummies are available, a liquid formula may be more comfortable to swallow if you have a sore throat. Usually, these liquids are taken the same way as cough syrup as they have a similar consistency, although some are dispensed with a dropper.
What Are The Types of Immune Support Liquids ?
Multiple types of immune support liquid products are available. Most contain elderberry, and some may include other ingredients that may enhance the immune system, such as vitamin C and zinc. Sambucol elderberry syrups are one option. They come in multiple sizes and formulations for adults and kids. Zarbee's also has liquid elderberry supplements for children and adults. Many of these products are free from added sugars, artificial sweeteners, artificial flavorings and gluten, among other additives.
If you're looking for an immunity blend, one option is a syrup with elderberry, zinc and honey to support and soothe. Nature's Answer is one brand with a blended syrup containing elderberry with vitamin C and zinc. Another option is a bio-active silver liquid, which may also help provide immune system support. The product comes in a bottle with a dropper for easy dispensing and can be used multiple times daily as directed on the label.
Do Immune Support Liquids Work?
Evidence supports the effectiveness of liquid immune support products. A study published in the medical journal Nutrients and available on the NIH website states that elderberry is shown to reduce the severity and duration of cold symptoms in air travelers. Before taking any over-the-counter supplement for immune support, check with your doctor. Even natural products may interact with some medications or may not be right for everyone, so it's important to get the green light from a medical professional before trying a new supplement.
