Post Birth Control Recovery

These supplements help to replenish nutrients that are commonly depleted with long term hormonal birth control. I also recommend eating 1-2 Brazil nuts per day to help increase selenium levels. Some patients also find that including a probiotic helps them to transition off of birth control more easily.

Immune Support

Here are some of my favorite products to support your immune health this fall and winter! You can keep these supplements on hand to help reduce the frequency and severity of viral illnesses. Many of them may also help to prevent long term complications from certain viral illnesses. “Daily Support” products should be taken each day during the fall and winter to keep your immune system healthy. “When You Are Getting Sick” products should be taken as soon as you notice any symptoms of a viral illness, and should only be taken while you are sick. DAILY SUPPORT Vitamin D + K2 Liquid : vitamin D3 supports healthy immune function, and many people need some additional vitamin D during the fall and winter when there is less sunlight (since our skin naturally produces vitamin D when exposed to the sun). The vitamin K2 in this supplement also works with vitamin D to increase calcium absorption. Vital-Immune Biotic Probiotics : 70-80% of our immune system is in our gut, so healthy gut flora is critical to a healthy immune system. This supplement contains 4 strains of beneficial bacteria that work together to support our immune cells' function. WHEN YOU ARE GETTING SICK Quercetin Bromelain Complex : contains quercetin and bromelain, which has antiviral properties, as well as vitamin C, which helps quercetin to work better. Zinc Bisglycinate : this highly absorbable form of zinc can help to reduce the duration and severity of viral illnesses Not every supplement is safe for every person. These are some general suggestions for season support, please check in with you healthcare provider if you have any questions or concerns, and to discuss the specific dosage that is right for you.
