When flu season comes around, there are a number of ways to boost your immunities. Aside from flu shots and eating healthy, you can also take a variety of supplements. We spoke with Whole Foods to get tips on the best ones for your body.

1) Nutrient Dense Foods:
It is important to eat nutrient dense foods, be sure your diets are filled with a rainbow of colors available from fresh fruits and vegetables. These nutrients help provide the body with the building blocks it needs to stay healthy and fight off infections. If you struggle with getting your family three daily servings of fruits and veggies - you can try a product called Amazing Grass. It's a chocolate-flavored vegetable and fruit supplement.

2) Multivitamins:
It's important to take a daily multi-vitamin to ensure you are getting essential vitamins and minerals.

3) Vitamin C and Vitamin D:
Recommended by Dr. Oz. There are products for babies and kids as young as 6 months old and are great to boost immune function.

4) Probiotics (Acidophilus):
Did you know almost 70% of your immune system function is in your digestive tract? These healthy bacteria helps fight off any potential invaders there, and if you or your children have been on antibiotics, those healthy bacteria also get killed off…so be sure to supplement with Probiotics. There are products for babies and kids as young as 6 months old in both chewable and powder forms.

5) Black Elderberry Syrup:
The berries from the Elderberry tree are packed with powerful antioxidants that have been used for centuries to decrease severity of cold and flu symptoms as well as shorten the duration of cold and flu.

All of these supplements and products are available at Whole Foods and other natural food stores. Please remember, we've provided this information for educational purposes. We're not doctors and you should follow the advice of your health care provider.
