However, drinking more OJ is not the only way to optimize your health during the winter months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the supplements doctors recommend taking this winter to support your inner defenses and overall health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. Vitamin D<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of us get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamin-d\/N-cp99i2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vitamin D<\/a> when we\u2019re exposed to the sun. But if you live in northern regions, where the winter is super-cold and the sun not as strong, you may get less than the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminD-HealthProfessional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recommended<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 15 micrograms (600 IU) of vitamin D per day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s a big deal, since research (including one 2018 study published in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5949172\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) shows that vitamin D can play a pivotal role in helping the body protect itself. Plus, a recent study published in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamanetworkopen\/fullarticle\/2770157\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JAMA Network Open<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> discovered that low vitamin D levels may increase a person\u2019s risk of becoming infected with COVID-19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/signs-you-are-vitamin-d-deficient\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 7 Signs You Have A Vitamin D Deficiency<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to helping support our immune system, vitamin D also helps our mood during the winter months and beyond, notes naturopathic doctor and clinical nutritionist <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.doctordavidfriedman.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David Friedman<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, N.D., D.C.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Vitamin C<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No surprise vitamin C made the list of supplements doctors recommend taking this winter. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that has long been linked to immune health. In addition to showing that vitamin C <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6124957\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">supports the body\u2019s response<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, research (including one published in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7024758\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of Thoracic Disease<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) has also linked C to a healthier balance of stress hormones.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with eating vitamin C-rich foods such as kiwi, orange, and red bell peppers, Rose recommends supplementing with at least 1,000 milligrams per day in the wintertime. If feeling under the weather, you can increase that to 5,000 milligrams per day for up to a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. Zinc<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zinc is involved in many systems in the body, including immunity, growth, and cognitive development. \u201cThis mineral increases white blood cell production and keeps the immune system primed so that when you\u2019re exposed to a pathogen, your immune system is ready to seek and destroy,\u201d says Rose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, falling short can spell trouble for your inner defenses. Deficiency is especially common in vegans, vegetarians, and those with digestive issues, she explains. Plus, recent research published in the journal<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7365891\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frontiers in Immunology<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> suggests ample zinc may be particularly important in this current season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the colder months, Rose recommends taking 10 to 15 milligrams of zinc daily. Just know that supplementing with zinc for more than a month or so can contribute to copper deficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><\/b><b>4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adequate amounts of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/omegas\/N-cp99ib\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">omega-3 fatty acids<\/a> have been linked to myriad health benefits. They aid in the functioning of the heart, blood vessels, endocrine system, and immune system, explains Rose. You can score <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/Omega3FattyAcids-Consumer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">omega-3 fatty acids from foods<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> like fish, nuts, and seeds like flax.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAt a minimum, individuals should aim for 500 milligrams of combined EPA and DHA per day,\u201d Rose says. So, pending what your plate looks like, \u201csupplementation with omega-3s is convenient and allows you to obtain therapeutic dosage ranges,\u201d she says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>5. Elderberry<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While not an actual nutrient itself, experts say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/immune-support\/N-cp99mj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">elderberry<\/a> is a must-have supplement during the winter months. \u201cElderberry contains high amounts of immune-boosting vitamin C and polyphenols,\u201d says Friedman. Research published in the journal <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3056848\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies<\/span><\/i><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">suggests elderberry extract supports the body\u2019s response to common viruses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there is no standard dose of elderberry, 15 milliliters (one tablespoon) has been shown to be beneficial, according to research published in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15080016\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journal of International Medical Research<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cTake one tablespoon of elderberry four times daily for three to five days,\u201d Friedman says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>6.
