Does It Feel Like You Catch EVERYTHING Going Around Each Winter?
Someone at work is sick. The kids bring something home from school. And suddenly you're wondering what you should be taking to support your immune system.
Vitamin D? Vitamin C? Immune blends? All of the above?
I hear these questions every year in my clinic.
Here's what I tell people:
You don't need to buy every immune supplement on the shelf. You need to understand which ones make sense for you.
As part of The Smarter Supplement Project, I've put together four immune-support products I commonly consider when helping people prepare for the colder months.
We'll look at what each product does, why I consider it, and how to choose without doubling up on nutrients you may already be taking.
Let's Build a Smarter Winter Supplement Routine.

ImmuCore
My #1 Pick
One formula. Multiple immune-support essentials.
Why buy several supplements when one can cover so many bases?
ImmuCore combines Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, selenium and mushroom extracts to support healthy immune function.
Mark's Take: One of my favourite all-in-one options for simplifying your winter supplement routine..
Already Covering the Basics?
ImmuCore is a great comprehensive option, but maybe you don't need everything in one formula.
Perhaps you're already taking a multivitamin, or you're simply looking to fill a specific nutritional gap.
That's where individual supplements come in.
Here are a few other winter wellness essentials I commonly consider, depending on your needs.
Vitamin D3
Are You Getting Enough This Winter?
Living in Newfoundland means long winters, shorter days, and very little opportunity to make Vitamin D from sunlight.
Vitamin D is essential for normal immune function, healthy bones and muscle function.
Mark's Take: Vitamin D is one of the first nutrients I review when someone wants to improve their winter supplement routine. It's simple, affordable, and getting the right amount matters.
Not sure how much Vitamin D you actually need? I've written more about that here:
Vitamin C
Vitamin C Simple, Everyday Immune Support
Good immune support doesn't have to be complicated.
Vitamin C supports healthy immune function, provides antioxidant protection, and helps your body maintain healthy tissues.
Mark's Take: One of the simplest nutrients I consider when someone needs additional Vitamin C. And the best part? You can choose what works for you.
Three convenient options:
Tablets — Simple daily supplementation.
Chewables — Great if you prefer not to swallow tablets.
Powder — Easy to mix into your favourite drink.
