Add-ins for Any Immunity-boosting Smoothie

 Make any of these immune-enhancing smoothies even more potent by taking one or more all-natural herbal supplements for immunity at the same time, like these two from Farlong Pharmaceutical.

 

Immune Booster Cordyceps + Reishi

 Certain mushrooms have powerful anti-inflammatory effects. Since inflammation is a critical component of illness, aging and disease, reducing, eliminating, and preventing inflammation can help protect you from those threats. Among the most powerful anti-inflammatory mushrooms are reishi and cordyceps. Reducing inflammation also helps increase blood flow, further improving immunity and disease resistance as well as younger, healthy organs, hair, eyes, and skin. 

 

Astaxanthin

 Found in particular sea creatures like lobster and shrimp, astaxanthin is an antioxidant more potent than vitamin C, CoQ10, krill oil, and omega-3 fatty acids. Take it with any of the above smoothies to not only increase their immunity-boosting effects but also protect your eyes, promote healthier joints, protect your skin from UV damage by the sun and boost your cardiovascular health and wellness.
