Natural Ways to Increase White Blood Cell Count and Support Immunity

on

Proven ways to support your immune system -

  • Echinacea - Several studies have demonstrated how Echinacea supports immunity. Echinacea has been shown to enhance natural killer cell activity and neutrophils rapidly increase within the first 24 hours of taking it. 
  • Astragalus – Studies show Astragalus increases B-lymphocyte and T-lymphocyte levels, interleukin and antibody production. It also promotes phagocytosis, the process by which certain living cells called phagocytes engulf other cells, particles and even pathogens. 
  • Cat’s Claw – A recent study showed that Cat’s Claw significantly elevated white blood cell count in adult men who supplemented with this herb for 6 months. 
  • Turmeric – Studies support its efficacy as an immune supportive plant. 
  • Vitamin B Complex – Especially B6 and B12 can increase the production of white blood cells in the body. Vitamin B9 (Folate) boosts the production of neutrophils and helps fight infections.
  • Vitamin C and Vitamin A are also very important for increasing white blood cell count. Vitamin C supports immunity. Vitamin A boosts the production of lymphocytes.
  • Zinc – Our body's use zinc to build immune system cells called T lymphocytes.
  • Sunlight – A study, published in the journal, Scientific Reports, shows that sunlight may have an energising effect on T cells, a type of white blood cell that activates cells in the body to fight infection. 
  • Selenium – Has been found to have a positive effect on the production of white blood cells. 
  • Green tea – Increases the leukocyte activity and the total plasma antioxidant status and may have role to play in the prevention of inflammatory disease. 


It’s important to note that a low white blood cell count can have serious health implications, and its underlying cause should be promptly identified and addressed by a healthcare professional.
