Supplement Like a Four-Time Olympic Gold Medalist
Margo Gladding on
Tennis icon Venus Williams recently shared some of her inside tips for keeping her healthy and strong while on the road. Beyond eating a balanced diet, which includes lots of greens and fiber, she says that prioritizing sleep and recovery time helps her mind and body work at its highest potential. And, because Venus says that she cannot afford to get sick, she always travels with her kit of must-have supplements.
The tennis star’s regimen includes olive leaf extract, oregano oil, garlic, lysine, and vitamin C. As a nutritionist and herbalist, I think she has a great supplement protocol in place to support immune health. Traveling can expose us to a wide variety of nasty germs and illnesses. And, as we enter cold and flu season, taking supplements to boost immunity can make a powerful difference.
Venus Williams did not give specifics as to the particular products or dosages that she takes. So, below are my recommendations to bolster your immune system. All of the supplements can be taken daily to help keep you healthy, and increased in times when acute support is needed.
Olive Leaf Extract - Provides natural protection against bacteria, fungi, and parasites and has antioxidant properties.
- Pathway Olive Leaf Extract Daily use: 1 capsule twice daily between meals Acute use: 2 capsules three times daily between meals
- Pathway Oregano Oil Daily use: 1 capsule daily Acute use: 1 capsule three times daily
- AlliMax Daily use: 1-2 capsules daily Acute use: 2 capsules three times daily
- Pathway L-Lysine 500 mg Daily use: 1-2 capsules daily Acute use: 2 capsules three times daily
- Pathway Vitamin C 1000 mg with Rose Hips Daily dose: 1 tablet daily Acute dose: 1 tablet three times daily
