We tested 3 ‘immune-boosting’ supplements to ward off ‘Freshers’ flu’

The best way to do this is by having enough sleep, a balanced diet, exercising, minimising stress and cutting down on booze and cigarettes.

Today I look at supplements aimed at helping . . . 

Mushrooms

a bottle of hifas da terra bio-defense daily support for your immune system
Hifas Da Terra Bio Defense pills contain a large dose of vitamin C

THERE are five organic immune-supporting mushrooms in Hifas Da Terra Bio Defense pills – reishi, maitake, shiitake, oyster and brown king oyster.

The fungi are high in beta-glucans – natural indigestible fibres that have been found to help balance gut health and “prime” our immune system to fight off bugs and germs.

These easy-to-swallow pills also contain a large dose of vitamin C, from organic acerola cherries, and vegan vitamin D from real reindeer lichen.

On offer now – £30.60 for a month’s supply. hifasdaterra.com

Seaweed

Each Doctor Seaweed Pure seaweed 500mg capsule contains similar levels of iodine to a portion of haddock[/caption]

IODINE is a mineral you can find in seafood, eggs, milk and milk products.

Dietary deficiencies in it have been shown to severely impact mental and physical health and thyroid function.

The thryoid controls the body’s metabolism and many other key functions, including energy, cognitition and immunity. So keeping yours healthy is vital.

Seaweed is the only plant-based source that provides adequate amounts of iodine for optimal function.

It is also rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals so perfect for immunity.

Each Doctor Seaweed Pure seaweed 500mg capsule contains similar levels of iodine to a portion of haddock.

These do have a slight aftertaste so I take with a lot of water.

£15 for a month’s supply. doctorseaweed.com

£34.95, currently with a free vitamin D oral spray. betteryou.com

BRITAIN’S biggest police force has rejected woke plans to introduce gender neutral uniforms.

But a consultation of 30,000 officers has found they have refused the possibility of unisex outfits.

Instead, they have decided to stick to male and female gear and their current supplier contract has been extended to 2026.

Met chiefs said the decision was made to prevent officers being caused “discomfort or injury” in gear not “designed for (the correct) body shape or physical characteristics”.

The London force also said it will continue “to provide male and female uniforms and equipment to officers”.

It comes after we told how unisex trousers had left male officers in Gwent with “crushed testicles” while female staff complained of an uncomfortable lack of space “between waist and the crotch”.

The TaxPayers’ Alliance said: “Brits will thank the Met for siding with common sense over wokery.

“Instead of wasting cash on unnecessary unisex uniforms, they can focus their resources on tackling crime.”

BABY killer Lucy Letby’s total legal aid bill has climbed to £1.7million and will rise higher.

The evil nurse was allowed to spend £901,817.45 on barristers and £818,497.92 on solicitors, The Legal Aid Agency revealed in new figures released to The Sun.

Ministry of Justice bean counters have warned the bill is set to rise even higher as “legal aid expenditure” for her recent re-trial and Court of Appeal hearing are yet to be added to the total.

Letby, 34, was convicted of seven murders and seven attempted killings in August last year.

Her original ten-month trial cost the Crown Prosecution Service £2.5million.

The monster became Britain’s most prolific child killer and was handed a second whole life tariff after being found guilty of attempting to murder a baby girl following a gruelling retrial in July.

Letby is set to challenge her most recent conviction for murdering seven babies and trying to kill seven more, the Court of Appeal revealed earlier this month.

Court staff confirmed that Letby is bringing a bid to appeal against her conviction for one count of attempted murder in July.

Judges will consider the case at a hearing on October 24, according to court listings.

Letby previously launched an appeal to challenge her guilty verdicts for seven murders and six attempted murders, which was rejected in May.

Tory MP Pauline Latham has previously called the spend on Letby’s defence “staggering” and said reform of the Legal Aid system “should probably be looked at again”.

The Legal Aid Agency, said: “The Legal Aid Agency is not yet in receipt of all of the claims associated with recent trial, which are received and paid in arrears upon conclusion of the case.”
