⚠ There is a lot of information about completely ineffective products promoted as immune boosters sold to protect against illnesses during the cold season.

⛔ Let's start with which products have NO evidence of benefit and are not recommended:

- Vitamin supplements / multivitamins, amino acids, or minerals. That's right, these types of commercial products do not provide benefit if you maintain a proper diet. Essential vitamins and nutrients are obtained from a balanced healthy diet (fruits, vegetables, grains, and healthy animal proteins).
- Bacterial lysates.
- Transfer factor supplements.
- (Alleged) immunoglobulin supplements.

💉 What measures effectively improve your immune system and protect you against cardiovascular events?
🔸 Balanced healthy diet.
🔹 Physical exercise ⛹️‍♂️, good sleep, and stress management.
🔸 No smoking 🚭.
🔹 Annual updated flu vaccination, COVID vaccination (updated booster shots of vaccines approved by the WHO), pneumonia vaccines (2 doses: 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine and 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine), and the new immunization against respiratory syncytial virus.

Of course, wearing face masks 😷 in enclosed, poorly ventilated, and/or crowded places is a basic measure we have learned from the COVID pandemic that effectively protects against all types of respiratory infections.

💡 It is important to consult your cardiologist for a detailed clinical evaluation 🩺 and discuss these and other appropriate preventive measures according to your condition 💊.
