We all know someone who swears by “immune boosts”. But what if supporting your body’s defenses didn’t have to feel like an endless checklist? What if it was simple, science-backed, and honestly enjoyable?
At Kosterina, we believe true immune support is about layering habits and ingredients that work with your biology - not demanding more willpower or sacrificing pleasure. That’s why we’re sharing our favorite functional helpers that you can fold easily into your daily routine.
Whether you’re trying to stay well through the cold and flu season, strengthen your baseline defenses, or just feel more resilient day to day - here’s how to do it the Mediterranean-minded way.
🫒 Start With the Foundation: Your EVOO Shot
Extra virgin olive oil is more than a kitchen staple - it’s an immune ally.
Our EVOO Shot is rich in:
- Polyphenols are antioxidants that help modulate inflammation
- Healthy monounsaturated fats which support cell membrane health
- Bioactive compounds like oleocanthal is known for immune-friendly activity
Think of it as your daily “biological tuning” shot: small, potent, and supportive of systemic balance. Not a quick fix, but a foundational layer.
💡Pro tip: Take your EVOO Shot first thing in the morning for added gut health benefits or anytime throughout the day paired with food to help your body absorb nutrients more efficiently.
Vitamin C + Propolis: Beeskeepers Natural
Strong immune defenses rely on vitamins your body can use. That’s why we love Vitamin C paired with Propolis from Beeskeepers Natural.
Here’s why this combo works:
- Vitamin C is a cornerstone nutrient for immune cell function and antioxidant protection
- Propolis, a bee-derived compound known for its natural antimicrobial and immune-support properties
- Liposomal delivery, helping your body absorb more of what matters
It’s a simple, delicious way to keep your immune system primed and ready - without synthetic additives or hard pills to swallow. Whether you’re integrating it into your morning beverage or taking it on the go, this is a great daily refresher for immune support.
Make it a ritual: Add it to tea or citrus water for a daily wellness boost.
Tally Health: Smart, Targeted Immune Support
When it comes to immunity, precision matters — and Tally Health approaches it with science and intention.
Immune 101: Start with Defend.
Tally’s Defend supplement is designed to support a strong, vibrant immune system while also addressing immune-related aging. This scientist-formulated blend combines Quercetin, Vitamin C, Beta-glucan, Zinc, and Vitamin D3 - nutrients known to work synergistically to strengthen immune defenses and support long-term resilience.
Beyond supplements, Tally also offers at-home biological age testing using a simple cheek swab, giving deeper insight into how lifestyle, stress, and nutrition impact your body over time. Paired with the Tally Health app, you can set goals, track progress, receive personalized action plans and build daily habits that support immunity, energy, and longevity.
Rehydrate with Purpose: CURE Hydration Packets
Hydration is immune support in disguise.
Your lymphatic system, a key part of immune function, depends on fluid balance to move immune cells around your body effectively. That’s where CURE Hydration Packets shine.
Why we recommend them:
- Electrolyte balance without sugar overload
- Supports cellular hydration, crucial for immune communication
- Easy to take on travel days, workouts, or stressful schedules
Bonus: when you’re properly hydrated, you feel better and your body can focus less on managing stress and more on staying well.
The Immune Essentials (Keep It Simple)
Strong immunity is built quietly, every day.
- Prioritize sleep. Quality sleep supports immune cells like T cells and natural killer cells, while chronic sleep loss increases inflammation and weakens defenses.
- Eat real, nourishing food. A nutrient-dense diet rich in antioxidants, fiber, and healthy fats (like extra virgin olive oil) helps immune cells function properly. Check out some of our delicious and nutritious recipes here.
- Manage stress. Ongoing stress can suppress immune response. Simple practices like breathwork, mindfulness, and gentle movement help restore balance.
- Keep moving. Regular, moderate activity helps immune cells circulate and supports overall resilience.
Get the basics right, layer in smart support with supplements, and let your body do what it’s designed to do.
Small Rituals. Strong Foundations
Your immune system isn’t something you turn on when you’re run-down or under the weather. It’s working all the time - responding, repairing, and protecting you in ways you’ll never see.
The goal isn’t perfection or panic-mode “boosting”. It’s resilience.
It’s building a body that can handle travel, stress, busy schedules, and the changing seasons with a little more ease. When you support your immune system daily, you’re not just avoiding getting sick. You’re investing in energy, longevity, and feeling like your best self more often.
And that’s a ritual worth keeping.
Peace, Love, & EVOO,
Katina and The Kosterina Team
