Immunity shots, often called wellness shots, are small, concentrated drinks that boost your body’s immune system against illnesses. The cold and flu season is the best time to take them. They provide essential nutrients to increase your immune system. Besides strengthening your immune system, wellness shots improve its response. They help prevent viruses, decrease the development of colds and flu, and if you get a cold or flu, they decrease the severity. If you develop an upper respiratory illness, the symptoms are not as severe. Additionally, they fight inflammation and stress and improve allergy symptoms.
Immunity shots can be purchased in health food stores and small shops, but you may want to consider making your own. They only require a few ingredients and are easy to make. I am going to share with you a few shot recipes today.
