Echinacea - (A herbal remedy that helps and boosts the immune system.)
B vitamin complex - (This helps to maintain a healthy body, from the brain to the blood supply. It will also leave you feeling much more energetic.
Vitamin C - (This fights free radicals in the body and is good at helping the body fight invasions of bad bacteria and viruses.)
L-Lysine - (An amino acid which helps to give the immune system a boost)
Zinc - (Take on a full stomach)
Answer
I would suggest a multi-vitamin and a multi-mineral supplement.. It has all the essential vitamins and minerals combined with bioflavonoids and L-glutamine, a nutrient that supports immune health. It is available in powder form, which, when mixed with water turns to an effervescent drink. The effervescence helps in the quicker absorption of all nutrients resulting in almost 100% digestion of all nutrients.
Glutamine can be bought at most any health food store and many protein supplements and meal replacement drinks have added glutamine. Undenatured whey protein has been clinically proven to boost Glutathione levels in the body and thus, strengthen the immune system.

While there is no strict proof on benefits I find patients react well to certain Supplements.
