The body’s immune system is an important safeguard against various diseases and infections. Therefore, more and more people are paying attention to how to enhance their immunity. In addition to lifestyle and dietary modifications, appropriate medications can also help boost immunity. Below, let’s take a look at some common immunity-boosting drugs.
1. Multivitamins
Vitamins are one of the essential nutrients in our body. They play an important role in maintaining the normal operation of various body functions. Especially vitamins C and E, which have strong antioxidant capabilities and can enhance the body's immunity. In addition, vitamins such as calcium carbonate and folic acid can also enhance immune function, but they need to be supplemented in appropriate amounts according to individual physical conditions.
2. Ginseng
Ginseng is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine that regulates immune function. The ginsenosides in it can enhance the body's immunity, increase the number of white blood cells, and improve the body's resistance to pathogens. However, ginseng has certain irritating properties and needs to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Ginkgo biloba leaf
Ginkgo biloba leaf is a common Chinese medicinal material and has a good immune-regulating effect. The flavonoids in it can enhance the activity of immune cells, improve the ability to resist pathogen invasion, and can also regulate the body's immune function, which is especially suitable for people with abnormal immune regulation.
4. Strawberry polysaccharide
Strawberry polysaccharide is a natural food with immune-modulating effects. It can enhance the body's immunity, improve the immune function of the liver, intestines, and lymphocytes, promote the proliferation and activity of macrophages, and has extensive antiviral and antibacterial effects.
5. Trace elements
Trace elements play an important role in the growth and development of the human body and immune regulation. The zinc, iron and other elements in it can promote the body's immune response and enhance its ability to resist pathogens. In addition, elements such as selenium and copper can also enhance the body's immunity through antioxidant effects. However, excessive intake can also cause harm to the body, so intake should be moderate and avoid over-supplementation.
6. Probiotics
Probiotics can promote the balance of intestinal flora and enhance immunity. By regulating the composition and quantity of intestinal flora, probiotics can enhance immune response, increase the ability to resist pathogens, and reduce inflammatory responses and allergic reactions. Common probiotics include Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Lactobacillus acidophilus, which can be supplemented through food or medicine.
In short, appropriate drugs can help enhance immunity, but they need to be used under the advice and guidance of a doctor. At the same time, drugs cannot completely replace good lifestyle and eating habits. Only comprehensive adjustments such as adequate sleep, reasonable meals, and appropriate exercise can truly improve our immunity and resist various diseases and infections.
