What supplements have been studied for recurrent infections?

Vitamin D, zinc, probiotics (L. rhamnosus GG), beta-glucan, and colostrum have been studied in populations prone to recurrent infections. Correcting vitamin D and zinc deficiencies has the strongest evidence for reducing infection frequency, particularly in children and older adults.

Can supplements prevent recurrent infections?

Some supplements may reduce infection frequency, but they are not guaranteed preventives. Addressing underlying nutritional deficiencies, maintaining good hygiene, adequate sleep, and managing stress are equally important. Recurrent infections may also indicate an underlying immune deficiency.

When should I see a doctor for recurrent infections?

Consult a doctor if you experience four or more infections per year requiring antibiotics, infections that are unusually severe or slow to resolve, or infections with uncommon organisms. These patterns may warrant immunological evaluation to rule out primary immune deficiency.
