Here are some ways to build up your immune system to better fight infections:

Immunity Builders (Each block of info is followed by the link to the source)

Zinc -- 15 mg
When it comes to fighting disease, the mineral zinc is often a heavyweight contender. It stimulates the production of T lymphocytes, the cells in your immune system that are responsible for cleaning up cells that have been invaded by infection.

Vitamin A 25,000 international units
Vitamin C 4,000 milligrams, taken as 2 divided doses
Vitamin E 400 international units
Zinc 15 milligrams
