The Intelligent Medicine Immune Support Protocol:
Through the years, many have asked for a specific list of supplements I recommend to support immune health. To that end, I want to share my Intelligent Medicine Immune Support Protocol. It offers a great boost for your immune system when you need it most!
**Some products may be subject to backorder due to increased demand.**
**If you’re an existing Fullscript customer, you can now view this entire protocol in Fullscript**
Immune Protocol CORE supplements:
Kyolic Formula 103 (take one, twice daily), a product which harnesses the documented immune-boosting effects of Aged Garlic Extract along with potent co-factors
AHCC (Advanced Hexose Correlated Compound) in a product called Immunokinoku (take one, twice daily) which I discussed in a recent podcast.
Viracid (take one, twice daily) which contains zinc and echinacea.
Essential Formulas Reg’ Activ Immune & Vitality, a unique probiotic that delivers protective glutathione.
Under the demanding conditions of daily life, our resistance is continually challenged. CV Science’s CV Defense (take two, once daily) offers a proprietary blend of proven ingredients, including PEA and Reishi mushroom extract, to support optimal immune function.
When you feel illness coming on (or for times of higher immune stress, such as travel), reach for CV Acute (Follow standard dosage instructions on packaging). Taken immediately at the onset of symptoms, this blend of well-researched botanical extracts promotes an anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effect.
I also highly recommend the use of Wild Oil of Oregano for its variety of health benefits, including antimicrobial effects and supporting the immune system. (Follow standard dosage instructions on packaging.)

Immune Protocol BOOSTER supplements:
Vitamin C (take one, twice daily) and Vitamin D (take one, once daily) are mainstays of Immune defense.
Xlear Nasal Spray: Airborne pathogens, particulates, and allergens enter our bodies through the nose and mouth where they are then absorbed, which can create an immune reaction which leads to a cold or flu. Xylitol in Xlear retards the formation of biofilms which perpetuate sinus problems. I recommend it to my patients during cold, flu, and allergy season.
Transfer Factor (take one, twice daily), a colostrum-derived product that boosts the vigilance of white blood cells, and olive leaf extract (Olivir, take one, twice daily) that is rich in oleuropein, a potent natural antiviral
Each supplement in the Seasonal Immune Protocol is conveniently available in my Fullscript dispensary. Just click below to purchase.
