​ 3 Nutritional Supplements to Protect From HPV

​ 3 Nutritional Supplements to Protect From HPV

19 Sep 2024 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read

The Human Papilloma Virus, also known as HPV, is a widespread virus that can harm both men and women and cause cancer and other health issues, including cervical cancer. The good news is that certain crucial nutrients can support a stronger immune system and shield women from HPV.
Antioxidant-rich vitamin C is crucial for the healthy operation of the immune system. Leukocytes, a type of white blood cell that fights infections and viruses like HPV, is stimulated because of this. Citrus fruits like oranges, tangerines, strawberries, kiwis, broccoli, and spinach are some examples of foods high in vitamin C.
In addition to being crucial for bone health, vitamin D is also crucial for the immune system. Supplemental vitamin D can assist immune cells in becoming more active and better able to combat HPV. Fatty fishlike salmon, mackerel, and tuna as well as dairy products fortified with vitamin D are among the foods high in vitamin D.
Lastly, zinc, an essential mineral, is important for immune system health. It aids in synthesizing enzymes that fight HPV and maintains the integrity of our immune cells. Oysters, red meat, and zinc-fortified cereals are some examples of foods high in zinc.
