Summer is right around the corner. And the dream of feeling sand between your toes is even closer to reality. Don’t miss a beat! Smart nutrition choices can help strengthen your immune system — so you’re ready for summer fun!

Strengthening your immune system helps keep you healthy. And one major factor influencing your immune system is nutrition. For several years, we’ve known that vitamin C, vitamin E, and Selenium play an important role in maintaining a healthy immune system. We also know that prebiotics, such as short-chain FOS, help us maintain a healthy immune system. Prebiotics promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract, which is where a majority of our immune system is found.

It’s a balancing act! Your body needs to maintain daily levels of essential nutrients to keep you up and running. When your levels of nutrients are consistently low, you may become more susceptible to viruses, colds, and flu. A daily nutritious diet — including all of the essential nutrients — can help strengthen your immune system.

In addition to a healthy diet, Ensure® and Ensure Plus® now have ImmunBalance. This unique blend of prebiotics and antioxidants* helps strengthen your immune system.
