Recurrent infections - advise re: boosting immune system

Hi, I am looking for some advise about boosting my immune system. Over the last few years, I have had endless bouts of cold / flu, I was hospitalised with pneumonia last year and I have had two episodes of shingles in the last 6 months! I am only 31!!! This can not be normal.

I already take a high strength multivitamin and mineral supplement daily and last year completed a course of vitamin D supplements from my GP. Is there anything else people can suggest I try to boost my immune system? Willing to try anything!

Thank you!

Hi Jemmy, Have you had your blood tested for IG levels, your immune system might be compromised and you might need medical treatment.

😏 It could be that your GP needs to do further tests. If you feel run down and tired despite taking a course of prescribed supplements, go back and explain how you’re feeling. 🙂xB
