Immunity
Sorted from the strongest evidence to the most limited.
Garlic
Strong
Lowers blood pressure slightly, especially in hypertensive individuals; on cholesterol and the common cold, studies are contradictory or lacking.
Echinacea
Strong
A plant sold against colds: a small preventive effect in several meta-analyses, nothing to cure an already present cold, and an allergy risk in atopic individuals.
Probiotics
Strong
Living bacteria: each strain has its effects, and in healthy adults, they do not change the overall composition of the microbiota.
Vitamin C
Strong
An antioxidant that the human body cannot produce, involved in immunity, fatigue and iron absorption.
Vitamin D
Strong
The vitamin the body manufactures in the sun — often deficient in winter, with a key role for bones, muscles, and immunity.
Vitamin E
Strong
An antioxidant sold for heart health and recovery. Large trials do not find these effects, and when combined with vitamin C, it hindered training adaptations.
Zinc
Moderate
An essential trace element for immunity: a large part of the world's population is at risk of lacking it, but excess supplementation is toxic.
