Detailed Answer:
Hi.

There are various products marketed as immune boosters, but many are not scientifically proved to be beneficial. I suggest my patients to add plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and to keep away from pollution, smoking and allergens. In addition a good sleep, ideal body weight as well as physical exercise will keep you away from infections.

Besides these, there are anecdotal reports that herbal products like chyawanprash show good results in boosting immunity. I am not however aware of good brands amongst those. You can find more about them through ayurveda experts. You may want to explore this option.
