immune boosters

[tamirra]

Hi, does anyone know what the best vitamin to take to boost my immune system please, would it be vitamin A, or a multi vitamin? Thank you

It is unlikely that a high sugar intake will make fungal infections such as Thrush worse unless you are excreting it in urine; which is highly unlikely as you are not diabetic.

vitamin c and zinc is believed to support your immune system, but like squad (god) says it may not work. You will absorb more of these through a healthy diet. Mind you i do sell this stuff to little old dears who swear they aint had a cold in years?

If one has diabetes it doesn't mean they constantly have Thrush, I've been a diabetic many years and had Thrush about twice and one of those times was because I was pregnant, which sometimes can be the cause.
If you eat all those sweets ,cakes & chocs the body is going to complain in some way, its telling you something listen to what its saying. So try to ration yourself for your sake (& your husbands) Thrush is catching......
