Immune Response: Key to Vaccine Effectiveness

With the constant discussion of COVID vaccines, it is very important to understand how vaccines work in the body.  Vaccines don’t attack viruses directly, but rather present molecules to teach the immune system to be able to respond.  This capability is solely dependent on the robust health of the immune system in either responding to the vaccine or to an invader.  To make this process most successful, the focus must be on maximizing immune and overall health through diet, specific supplementary molecules, exercise and lifestyle issues.  Don’t be lulled into a sense of security that the vaccine is going to kill all the virus variations by itself.  It can’t.  The immune system will do the work.  Visit Sundrops and one of our nutritionists can help with nutritional and lifestyle health strategies.  Below are the relevant immune support molecules.
