Prevention & Immune Support — Practical products and everyday measures for resilient health

Basic prevention and immune support rely on straightforward daily practices. Regular hand hygiene, appropriate respiratory etiquette, sufficient sleep and regular physical activity reduce transmission risks and contribute to general resilience.

Dietary habits provide essential building blocks. A varied diet supplying vitamins (for example vitamin D and vitamin C), minerals (such as zinc and selenium) and dietary fibre supports overall health. Supplements can be appropriate in case of documented deficiencies or specific needs, for instance low sunlight exposure during winter months. Professional assessment is recommended before starting supplements.

Probiotics and prebiotics can help maintain a balanced gut microbiota, which may have indirect effects on wellbeing. The selection of probiotic products should be based on documented strains, stable formulations and clear dosing information. Individuals who are pregnant, immunocompromised or on long-term medication should seek professional advice before use.

Practical products in this category include hand hygiene solutions compliant with recognised standards, gentle cleansers, skin protection items and nasal care for mucosal maintenance. Correct use according to product instructions and awareness of potential drug–supplement interactions are important. Pharmacists and healthcare professionals are available to advise on dosage, combinations and interactions.

This category aims to offer reliable, practical information and product choices that prioritise quality and safety in line with Swiss regulations. No curative claims are made; persistent or severe symptoms require medical evaluation.
