This page enumerates vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, and homeopathic therapies recommended by Western physicians, Chinese medicine, and the AYUSH Department of the Indian Government (encompassing Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) to enhance immunity and lung health. These guidelines, issued in February and March 2020, mention these herbs as compulsory in Wuhan, China, and as suggested remedies for the general public in India to improve their immunity.
In compliance with the law, these supplements aim solely to bolster immunity and lung health, with no claims made or implied to treat, prevent, or cure the coronavirus. If you exhibit any symptoms of COVID-19 and require testing for the novel coronavirus, please consult a medical professional.
Global logistics are greatly affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Hence it is recommended that all USA customers order the essentials kit, ASIAN customers the core immunity kit, and EU customers the EU-made core immunity kit. These kits will reach you within the week. Any foreign kit ordered may take 2 weeks.
These products are only sold for immunity and lung health and combine some of the ingredients below in easy-to-use kits for your health and well-being.
Smoking, Being Overweight, and Having High Blood Sugar or High Blood Pressure are all factors that compromise your immunity and it is suggested to take steps for their health and well-being.
In a new study published it was shown that out of 102 confirmed infected patients in one study at Hubei exhibiting mild symptoms of the Covid-19 disease, almost all recovered just on TCM concoctions alone with symptoms and fevers disappearing even shorter compared to using antivirals and CT scans showed drastic improvements to the lungs coupled with NATS (nucleic acid tests) that showed the negative presence of the SARS-CoV-2
In addition, in the cases of patients with severe conditions, the administering of these concoctions along with various antiviral protocols helped to accelerate the process of recovery. This research however has not been reviewed by the FDA and hence such herbs can only be taken for boosting immunity and lung health.

Details and Research on Nutraceutical Supplements suggested by Western Allopathic Doctors for Immunity and Lung Health
Colloidal Silver
Extremely popular in USA however the research is conflicting as there are few standards established in its manufacturing. We carry the best we could find. Below is one study done on it with respect to viruses. [50][51]
Vitamin C
Well accepted to increase immunity and antiviral activity. However few realize the vast difference in food derived vitamin C and ascorbic acid which is a dead synthesized molecule used to clean pools. We strongly suggest you only take food derived Vitamin C [52]
Zinc
There is some evidence suggesting Zinc can shorten duration of the common cold and one study done in 2010 showing that Zinc had an effect on the older versions of CoronaVirus. However one must be careful as not all zinc is equally bioavailable and more than 150 mg of Zinc can lead to toxicity. [53][54][55]
Copper
A study suggested that copper deficiency may lead to reduction in the number of T cell lymphocytes and impaired host defense against infectious organisms. [56]
L- Lysine
Studies suggest L-Lysine supplements may help to boost immunity against certain viral infections. [57][58][59]
Vitamin D
Vitamin D increases your White blood cells ability to protect you against viruses. Many are deficient in this nutrient and particularly now owing to lockdowns not letting them get enough sunlight.
Numerous studies suggest that Vitamin D supplementation increases immune response, reduces duration of respiratory infections and viral infections in both those that are deficient in vitamin D and those that are not deficient.New studies are suggesting that those who are Vitamin D deficient have a greater chance of getting severe symptoms of Coronavirus and Covid 19. [60][61][62]
Monolaurin
Monolaurin is derived from coconuts and has been studied for its anti bacterial and anti viral properties globally[63][64]
L-glutamine: It helps in boosting up the immune system. Studies suggest that L-glutamine is capable of modulating certain immune responses.[65]
L-Arginine: It is traditionally believed to boost immunity. Studies suggest that it helps in the modulation of certain immune responses.[66]
L- Lysine HCL: It has been used traditionally for boosting up the immune system. Studies suggest that L-Lysine supplements may help to boost immunity against certain viral infections.[67][68][69]
L-Isoleucine: Studies suggest that L-isoleucine may help to impair the viral induced activity in the cells thus producing anti-viral effects.[70][71]
Magnesium gluconate: It is believed that magnesium helps in the regulation of the respiratory functions. Studies suggest that magnesium supports the normal functioning of respiratory system.[72]
Copper gluconate: Studies suggest that copper may help to regulate the functioning of the immune system.[73]
Zinc gluconate: Studies suggest that zinc is important for the maintenance and development of immune cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems.[74]
Echinacea purpurea: This herb has been used in herbal traditions for boosting immune system. It is believed that the herb has potential antiviral and immunomodulatory properties. The following studies for SARS suggest that this may be of benefit.[75][76][77][78]
