One supplement that you may not know about that can of help for your immune system is thymic protein. The thymus, a gland located under your breastbone, is a critical part of the immune system, but it shrinks and becomes less effective as we age.

Some experts have found that supplements of thymic protein may be able to fight infections and treat acute and chronic viral infections, and even reduce antibody levels in certain viruses.

I am now using thymic protein effectively to fight off fall and winter colds and viruses, and have become a big fan of this supplement.
