These are our recommendations* for our immunity supporting kit. If any of these are out of stock, we recommend that you search for the same product/dose from different brands. The supplies seem to come and go and come back again. Please let us know if you have any questions. Our Recommendations*: Our recommendations are 3,000-5,000 mg/day of vitamin C if you are not sick. At the first indication of illness, start increasing to 1,000 mg/hour until you get loose stools, when you would back off. This will give you as much vitamin C as your body can tolerate. Stay on as high a level as you can tolerate for 10 days. We recommend Epicor at 500 mg, twice/day for prevention. When you are around others who are sick or there is an outbreak of the flu or other viruses, we recommend 1000 mg, twice per day. we like the Pure Encapsulations product Pure Defense as it contains Epicor as well as N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), which is essential for building glutathione, our body’s main antioxidant. NAC also acts as an expectorant and loosens mucus. For vitamin A , it has to be the retinol form (not beta-carotene). At the first sign of symptoms, we recommend taking 100,000 units/day for 3 days, then to 75,000 units/day for 3 days, then to 50,000 units/day for 3 days, and then 25,000 units for 10 days. Pregnant women should not take these high doses of vitamin A. Vitamin D At the first sign of viral symptoms, we recommend 50,000 iu/day of vitamin D3 for 4 days. After that, return to your regular daily dose. Iodine We recommend Iodoral 12.5 mg/day for 10 days. Silvercillin - We at Starkel Nutrition are big fans of aqueous silver. Silver is antimicrobial, including bacteria, virus, and other pathogens. In contrast to colloidal silver, which we do not recommend, aqueous silver passes out of your body within 48 hours. In the meantime, it enters cells and kills pathogenic bacteria and viruses. We never travel without it. It is in a 4 oz spray bottle and you can take it orally and spritz your face, nasal passages and eyes (we like to put it in smaller < 3 oz bottles for airplane carry on). Refills are also available in 16 oz. We recommend that these supplements be taken on top of a daily multivitamin. If you are not currently taking a multivitamin we recommend Basic 2/Day by Thorne, Lifeguard Mini by Perque, or O.N.E. by Pure Encapsulations - all of which are available for purchase in office or through our online supplement dispensary. *These are recommendations only .
