Shield yourself against a future Covid wave

New Delhi, July 15 India has witnessed a deadly second wave of Coronavirus and concerns about the third wave are equally worrying. In addition to getting a vaccine, there are ways to focus on wellness and self-care during a possible third wave.

Even though few vaccines are available in India, there are few people who are advised not to get the vaccine.

Go easy on yourself and remember these easy six tips to battle the third wave, suggested by Sushant Raorane, Co-founder and Director, Adroit Biomed Pvt Ltd:

They are known for their anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antioxidant and immune boosting properties. The pandemic has led to identification of some promising nutraceuticals for Covid management. One of them, Glutathione, a master cellular antioxidant, is synthesized by the body itself. Literature suggests that oral glutathione improves an individual's immunity so people with Covid-19 who have low levels of glutathione and such people may have a faster recovery if supplemented with oral glutathione. Glutone MD, orally dissolving mini effervescent tablets made from purest Setria Glutathione help in boosting immunity and the OD-Eff technology used in the formulation improves absorption of glutathione into the blood.
