The first supplement that we will discuss is vitamin C. Vitamin C is simply amazing when it comes to fighting the flu. That’s because vitamin C is integral when it comes to immune system function. Adding a little bit of vitamin C to your diet will help to boost your white blood cells and improve your immune system overall. This not only helps you prevent getting the flu and helps you fight it when you do have it; it also helps to protect you against all kinds of other illnesses and diseases.

The more that you can boost your immune system the better off you will be and the healthier you will become. If you want to prevent getting the flu, a thousand milligrams a day of vitamin C is the recommended amount. If you already have flu symptoms, then you should bump that up to around 4000 mg a day.
