In the pharmacy they sell tabs called immune system booster, for adults n other for kids,are they helpful to fight bacteria n viruses,any side effects?

Bogus: The best thing for your immune is balanced nutrition, proper sleep & regular exercise. These unregulated supplements are a profit making product based on public worry. Their benefit if any is unproven or they would be recommended by all physicians. Side effects are always a concern.
