Autumn can be a busy time, whether you are adjusting back to a more strenuous work schedule after summer, decompressing from travel, returning to school, etc. Clearly, these kinds of changes can be stressful. If that stress is ongoing, or chronic, it can undermine your wellness, potentially making you more vulnerable to seasonal ailments and other health issues.
While we can’t always change the stress-causing factors in our lives ? nor can we avoid all seasonal germs, bacteria and viruses ? we
can make a concerted effort to protect ourselves by maintaining a strong immune system. As one scientist aptly noted, the susceptibility of an individual to viral or bacterial infections is dependent upon
immune competence.
These innovative immune support supplements can help support your lines of defense, naturally.
