I have taken supplements for quite a few years now. The specific ones I take seems to change every now and again though. Because I am a COVID-19 “long-hauler,” I have taken advice from others suffering the same issues and changed up my supplement stack.
In this post, I wanted to share with you what I am currently taking and why.

Why I take these supplements
The following is the reasoning behind the supplements I am currently taking:
- Ginger- This is said to have anti-inflammatory and immune system boosting effects. It also helps with GI distress.
- Turmeric- This is said to have anti-inflammatory and immune system boosting effects. It also helps with GI distress and
- Vitamin B12- May help with nerve damage, homocysteine levels, depression and energy production.
- Vitamin D3- Good for the immune system and our bones.
- Vitamin C- Good for the immune system.
- Vitamin B6- Good for the nervous system, nausea and PMS.
- NAC- May help with lung issues, homocysteine levels, flu symptoms severity and chest pain.
- Oil of oregano- May serve as an antiviral.
- Probiotic- Helps the gut and immune system.
- CoQ10- Helps with heart issues, energy levels and chest pain.
- Zinc- May help with the immune system.
- Pepcid- Helps with GERD
- Red raspberry leaf tea- Good for the immune system, balancing hormones and the easing of sore throats.
- Green tea- Provides antioxidants, may help the immune system and may lower blood pressure.

It may look like a lot
I know many people looking at this may think I take a ton of supplements and I guess it is kind of true. Just know there are people who take way more than this though (like my husband).
I am hoping that these help me and keep me healthier than I would be without them.
Are any of you taking supplements? If so, which ones?
