Collection: Inflammation Stage

In the Inflammation Stage, the virus starts to create inflammation and oxidative stress as it replicates and damages cell walls. It is very important to correctly manage this stage on an individual basis for the best possible outcome.

If this stage is not managed correctly, especially in susceptible people, the immune system can overreact and trigger a cytokine storm.  

In the Inflammation Phase, please do not take anything that might 'boost' the immune system - this includes medicinal mushrooms, Echinacea and certain botanicals, unless under the strict guidance of your healthcare practitioner. Immune Active, Ultra Potent-C, vitamin C, zincvitamin D3, glutathione, NAC are safe to use through all The 4 Stages of COVID.

In the Inflammation Stage, you can increase dosages to therapeutic thresholds but only under the guidance of your healthcare practitioner. 

This the phase to work closely with your healthcare practitioner. If you are concerned about your breathing or any other symptoms, please call your healthcare practitioner immediately.

This is the time to keep inflammation levels within normal ranges for infections and to mop up oxidative stress with the correct anti-oxidants. This will go a long way in ensuring the best possible outcome and a speedy Recovery Stage.

Your foundation should always be your multivit and omega 3 fish oil. Omega 3 is very useful now to ensure your inflammation levels are as normal as possible before the virus finds you. It also acts as a blood thinner which could be useful for micro-coagulation that could potentially happen in the lungs during the Inflammation Phase.
