Vital nutrient recommendations for Flu (acute)
The recommendation for Flu covers five nutrients for acute treatment — most importantly Artemisia, Omega-3 fatty acids (Fish-Oil) and Vitamin D3. You will find the intake and role of each nutrient in the overview.
Recommended nutrients & intake
| Active ingredient | Intake | Priority | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Artemisia | 8 capsule(s) of 600 mg | Primary | capsules (or sticks with granules) divided into 4 servings 1 hour before meals & before bedtime; must not be taken together with iron. |
| Omega-3 fatty acids (Fish-Oil) | 1 measuring spoon(s) of 10 ml | Additional | Fish-Oil. Take with a main meal. Alternatives: Krill-Oil (approx. 1.5 times lower dosage) or algae oil (vegan). |
| Vitamin D3 | 7 drop(s) of 20 µg | Additional | Intake: with main meal. 20 mcg = 800 IU = 1 drop of vitamin D3 Vida (other products > calculate correct dosage). From 4000 IU: intake of 200 micrograms of vitamin K2 is important (children: not necessary). |
| Magnesium | 3 capsule(s) of 200 mg | Additional | Take with food spread over the day. Important to vitamin D. Avoid Mg-citrates & Mg-oxides. Attention: capsule size refers to the content of elemental magnesium and not to the total of magnesium salts! |
| Vitamin K2 | 1 capsule(s) of 225 µg | Additional | Take with food, use fermented All-trans Vit. K2. |
Intake figures are for adults weighing 60–80 kg. The Web-Doctor adjusts the dosage to your body weight.
Treat acutely or prevent?
Acute treatment
This recommendation is designed for acute treatment: the nutrients are taken until the symptoms clearly subside — usually over several weeks. If symptoms persist, the further duration of intake belongs in medical hands.
Preventive intake
For prevention, the intake is designed to be long-term: moderately dosed, but regular — as a fixed part of your daily vital nutrient supply.
