Among medications for enhancing immunity, natural immune regulators are the most commonly used. These drugs can boost the body's immune system. Common examples include Allixin, Ginkgo extract, Crocin, Zaoshengshe extract (Zaocys extract), Rutin, and Fuxing B, among others. Allixin enhances the body's immunity, strengthens cellular protection, increases resistance, and relieves fatigue. Ginkgo extract boosts the body’s intrinsic immune mechanisms and reduces inflammatory responses. Crocin effectively suppresses inflammation, protects against viral and bacterial invasion, and strengthens immunity. Zaocys extract has antioxidant properties and can inhibit inflammation and resist viruses. Rutin helps enhance the body's immune function, while Fuxing B is a special trace element that supports cell proliferation and immune system function. When choosing immune-boosting medications, individuals should select the most suitable option based on their specific health conditions and use them under medical guidance to ensure safety.
