There are quite a few natural products that help to support the immune system. There's Colostrum, mushrooms (Reishi, Maitake, and Shiitake), Elderberry, Echinacea (which should not be taken long-term), Inositol Hexaphosphate (IP-6), CoQ10, any basic antioxidants, and many other things that are less powerful, but still give some impact.

I usually recommend to my clients that they take astragalus root or echinacea supplements. There has been some debate as to whether or no vitamin C does anything for the immune system, those that say yes say that you need mega doses or 500mg 3 - 4 times/day. I usually just stick to the herbs. Good Luck!

I like a supplement called Limu Plus, I've taken this daily for many years with success in keeping my immune system strong and not attacking my body, I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and have been medication free since taking this product. (After the first 6 months) http://www.LimuPlus.com/287998 for more information on this product.

Herbal supplement called echinacea works wonders. I take it whenever I feel a cold coming on, and it will fight it off for me. Don't take over 2 weeks.

Also take vitamin C and zinc. Get enough rest and try to eat plenty of protein.
