A holistic approach to immunity

Maintaining a healthy immune system requires balanced nutrition, adequate sleep, regular exercise and proper hydration. Two natural products gaining popularity for immune support are black seed oil and whole‑food Vitamin C. While these supplements are not cures for illness, they can complement a healthy lifestyle.

What is black seed oil?

Derived from the seeds of Nigella sativa, black seed oil has been used for thousands of years. Alkaline World’s Unfiltered Black Seed Oil is wild‑harvested, cold‑pressed and free from pesticides. It’s marketed for several benefits, including supporting a strong immune system, aiding digestion and nourishing skin. The product description emphasises that it is natural, vegan and unfiltered, and it carries a disclaimer that it is not intended to diagnose or treat disease.

How to use black seed oil

Most people take 1–2 teaspoons per day, either alone or mixed into smoothies. It can also be used topically for skin and hair care. Because it’s potent, start with a small amount and consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication.

Why choose whole‑food Vitamin C+?

Vitamin C is well known for its role in immune function and collagen production. Amazonia RAW Vitamin C+ Wholefood Extract combines organic baobab, Camu Camu, acerola and other fruits to deliver 1 000 % of your daily Vitamin C per serving. It also includes prebiotics to support digestion.

How to use Vitamin C+ powder

Mix one serving (usually a teaspoon) of the passionfruit‑flavoured powder with water, juice or a smoothie. Whole‑food sources of Vitamin C are gentler on the stomach compared with synthetic ascorbic acid.

Final thoughts

Supplements like black seed oil and whole‑food Vitamin C+ can help you maintain optimal nutrition and support your body’s natural defences. They are not a replacement for medical care or a balanced diet. Always read labels carefully and consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you have pre‑existing conditions or are taking medication.
