Taking it is said to effectively cut symptoms by half.

It also contains immunity-boosting vitamin C and zinc.

Oh, and it also tastes amazing – a rich, fruity syrup.

Tablets

Immunace Fizz, £9.95 for 20 effervescent tablets (vitabiotics.com)

THESE effervescent tablets contain 12 essential nutrients, including decent doses of vitamins C and D to help give you a stronger immune system.

Other ingredients include vitamin B12, zinc and selenium, which also contribute to the function of the immune system, plus folate for normal blood formation.

There’s vitamins B2, C and E, which help protect cells against oxidative stress, and B1 for a healthy nervous system.

These tablets fizz and dissolve quickly when dropped in a glass of water and there is no effervescence left when you come to take them.

A flat, orange taste, not too overpowering.

These are a good-all rounder if you don’t like knocking back tablets.

Tincture

Blooming Blends Defend drops, £25.99 30ml (bloomingblends.co.uk)

BLENDED to help keep the sniffles at bay during the colder months, this tincture is a blend of three powerful botanicals that are full of antioxidants to try to help defend and boost immunity and daily wellbeing.

There’s elderberries in here, too, plus rosehip which is full of vitamin C, A, D and E as well as antioxidants.

There is also ginger which is great for warming up the metabolism and improving overall circulation during the cold months.
