Top Ten Swine Flu Protection Supplements

The government has declared a national emergency to deal with the "rapid increase in illness" from the H1N1 influenza virus.

Here are the top ten, natural Swine Flu Protection Supplements for those looking to protect themselves from the H1N1 Swine Flu pandemic virus.

1. VITAMIN D
Multiple studies have shown a link between vitamin D deficiency and influenza. This is not only an easy choice, but relatively inexpensive. Experts are suggesting supplementation with Vitamin D3, 2000 IU daily. (Read more about Vitamin D. -- View all Vitamin D products.)

2. PROBIOTICS
Probiotics are dietary supplements of live microorganisms thought to be healthy for the host organism. There is plenty of evidence that these beneficial bacteria are good for the immune system. When the immune system is strong, it is in a much better position to fight off viruses, like the swine flu.
