Each year in November, I get a cold. Not exactly newsworthy, you may correctly think. But the cold advances and has, over the past ten years, morphed into all sorts of horrid chesty things befitting a Victorian novel, including pneumonia and whooping cough. This episode of illness ends only when spring descends, and I spend the winter months whining about it between splutters to anyone who’ll listen.
In a bid to give myself, my beleaguered lungs, and my bored friends a break this year, I started to research winter immunity. The thread, once pulled, is very long and there are many nuances to it. I did, however, identify some key trends among supplements, and have started to take the correct ones accordingly.
