Important Notes
Preventive Dose - You can use this level of supplements everyday for
optimum immunity.
Immune jump-starting Dose - Take this
regimen if you're prone to infections, or recover from them very slowly.
Take this dosage level for 1-3 months, then scale back to preventive dose levels.
(See the note below regarding Vitamin A)
Very Aggressive Dose: Take this dosage
only for the temporary treatment or amelioration of serious life- threatening
infections. If your condition is long-term (e.g., tuberculosis, AIDS, etc.), consult your physician.
(See the note below regarding Vitamin A)
Note on Vitamin A
Usage: If you are of childbearing age, take the
aggressive dosages (above 5000 IU) of vitamin A only under the supervision of a physician.
Instead of taking individual B-vitamins,
you may take a B-Complex.
