FAQs
What vitamins should I take during the cold season?
The cold season is very challenging for your immune system and the rest of your body. Vitamin C, B12, K2, and D, and minerals like zinc and iron, help you stay healthy and perfectly fine during the harsh winters. You can either change your diet or consume multivitamins and multimineral supplements to provide your body with the necessary nutrition.
Is vitamin D or zinc better for a cold?
Both are equally important. Since there is less sunlight during winter, vitamin D supplements help keep your bones healthy. Zinc, on the other hand, is a fantastic immunity booster.
Which foods are high in zinc?
Oysters, lamb, beef, pumpkin seeds, crab, almonds, lobsters, chickpeas, chicken, and cashews are some food items high in zinc. Alternatively, you could try natural supplements that provide organic nutrition.
