On NBC 25 Today, Dr. Dan also sang the praises of Vitamin D-3 and probiotics. He says typically you should get sunlight which produces vitamin D-3 We don't get much sunlight in the midwest Our immune system gets depressed when we are inside and we get sick.  Supplement 5,000 IU per day or work with your doctor to increase your levels.
As for Probiotics: 80% of our immune system is located in our stomach. When you get sick the first thing you notice is your stomach. Bacteria and viruses attack the stomach. Probiotics help to fix the stomach flora helping to boost your immune system.
