The Omicron variant of Covid-19 may be less severe than earlier variants, but it is much more contagious, and is circulating rapidly among us.
There are two different Omicron strains, and scientists say that they really don’t know what Covid-19 will do next.
Will the two Omicron variants continue to coexist? Will one of them replace the other?
Will the Delta variant make a comeback, or will a new variant replace all previous variants?
The future pathway of Covid-19 is unknown, but what scientists do know is that the coronavirus is not going to just disappear.
We need to learn to live alongside Covid-19. One thing the pandemic has taught us is the importance of taking responsibility for our own health and protecting our own immunity as best we can through good lifestyle choices.
Covid-19 represents a strong viral attack on our immune system. We have known from the outset that Covid is a fast-replicating virus that causes a lot of free radical damage and inflammation throughout the body.
This bombardment leaves our immune system flattened and defeated, and it takes time to recover and regain strength.
The Omicron variant may be less life-threatening but it is still not a pleasant experience and many healthy people are finding it is taking weeks, if not months, to recover fully from it.
Chronic fatigue, which can be very debilitating while it lasts, appears to be the lingering and lasting symptom for many sufferers.
Our immune system is multi-faceted and exists throughout our body. When it fights infection at full throttle, the immune system takes some time to recover and rebuild itself.
The fatigue that a lot of people are experiencing post-Covid indicates that their immunity has fought a hard battle and needs time to recover.
Certain supplements can be very useful in helping us to recover from Covid and to speed up the recovery process, such as the following.
Dr. Wolz Immun Select
This supplement contains a combination of nutrients which support various aspects of the body’s immune system.
Beta glucans support white blood cell immunity, probiotics maintain gut immunity, Zinc helps block viral replication, while Vitamin C, Zinc, and Quercetin fight inflammation and free radical damage.
The nutrients within Immun Select are organic and therefore they are readily absorbed into the bloodstream, producing faster results.
Immun Select is a useful supplement to take both during and immediately after Covid-19.
It supports the body’s immune system while it is under attack and, perhaps more importantly, it helps restore good blood and gut immunity after the infection has passed, while the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant nutrients support the body in repairing the damage caused by Covid.
Pharmanord CoQ10
Every cell in our body produces its own energy within chemical furnaces called ‘mitochondria’.
CoQ10 is an important nutrient in the chemical pathway by which we produce energy within the mitochondria.
People over 40 years produce less CoQ10 naturally, increasingly with age, and so it may not be uncommon for many people who catch Covid-19 to already have low Co10 levels.
Studies have demonstrated that post-Covid, the mitochondria of our immune cells are flattened and CoQ10-starved.
These cells have had to work so hard to fight Covid that they have become depleted and wiped out. They are producing energy way below par, and this plays a large part in post-Covid fatigue.
It takes time for the mitochondria to recover and start producing energy again. Supplementing the body with CoQ10 will speed up the process and help the body to regain energy faster.
If you have suffered from Covid-19 and are finding it difficult to get back on your feet, I recommend taking both of these supplements together.
One works on restoring your immune system to good health, while the other works on boosting your ability to produce energy.
If you prefer to take just one supplement at a time, then start with Immun Select.
