Are immunity-boosting products helpful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: If you have adequate nutrition, supplements rarely help. Zinc with a common cold may help if started early in the infection to shorten the infection. There is a distinct lack of evidence to support most "immunity boosters".
