A member asked:
What vitamins and supplements can someone take to help stop flu virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: There are no supplements that stop the flu. Once you have an infection, it does have to run its course. What you can do is help the recovery process and symptoms. You can try oscillinum to stop you from getting worse. If in full swing try elderberry. To prevent this, stay healthy using vitamin d, probiotics, b complex, fish oil, glutathione regularly.
