Gravitas Plus: Should you try immunity boosters?
There's too much of hype around ‘immunity boosters'. From supplements to zinc tablets and kadha- everything is being sold as a shield against the Wuhan Virus. Even immunity laddoos!
Palki Sharma tells you why a lot of ‘immunity boosters' are a hoax.

hello and welcome to gravitas plus i'm palki sharma i hope all of you are doing well so what are you doing to improve your immunity are you taking zinc tablets are you popping vitamin c and multivitamin pills or are you drinking some immunity boosting product well everyone seems to be doing this immunity is the new indian obsession and i'm here to tell you what you may not want to hear immunity boosters are a hoax it's an unpopular opinion but it's backed by science immunity was the second most searched word in india in 2020 while the world was looking for a vaccine we were asking google how to improve our immunity let me give you a brief timeline march 2020 the wuhan virus was declared a pandemic april 2020 google published this report by then the search for the word immunity was up 500 percent vitamin c up 150 percent gilloy up 380 percent and kara up 90 percent during the lockdown immunity related stories saw a 39 increase in traffic wonderman thompson south asia carried out a study it found that respondents from 32 indian cities across 15 states said everyone in their home needed an immunity boost brands were happy to provide that boost numerous immunity boosting products were added to the shells many rebranded the new holix ad celebrated how the product not only has vitamin c and d but also zinc or doctors vitamin c d or zinc nutrients itc launched an immunity song for its dairy brand [Music] bond launched an herb and seed bread to boost your immunity supermarkets stocked up on immunity milk immunity laddus and food supplements all promising immunity well guess what the only immunity they delivered was for their own bottom line their sales pitch made their business immune to the global shutdown the indian immunity boosting package products market is projected to reach 347 million dollars by fy 2026. that's because they're takers an fmcg guru survey found that 72 percent of the participants are concerned about their immunity levels mintel carried out a research during the wuhan virus outbreak it found that at least 29 people were more interested in food that can support their immune system so what did people end up buying supplements immunity boosting packaged products and home remedies let's talk about the supplements first zinc it's been selling like hot cake somehow people are convinced that zinc can make them superhuman and help them fight the wuhan virus the obsession reportedly began because of an email noted virologist and pathologist james robb supposedly wrote to his family and friends in february 2020 asking them to stock up on zinc lozenges and just like that everyone wanted to zinc up the result was this for the first time ever in the history of india the sale of multivitamin supplements overtook the sales of diabetes drugs apex labs zinkovic registered sales of 50 crore rupees in october 2020. insulin recorded sales of around 47 crore rupees for the same period the sales of zinkovic were up 60 in just six months the question is can zinc really help you build some kind of immunity that can ward off the wuhan virus the answer is nobody knows for sure there is no proof zinc reduces the duration of common cold and that is proven but there's no proof that it's a silver bullet for the wuhan virus too instead too much of zinc will harm you it can cause copper deficiency anemia even damage your nervous system zinc nasal sprays can lead to loss of smell then there's another supplement that we've all been holding vitamin c vitamin sales in india surged 23 to 1267 crore rupees in october twenty twenty in september the growth was sixteen percent year on year our popping vitamin supplements really helping us the world health organization says no it recommends what your mother has always told you a nutritionally balanced and diverse diet it may sound boring but it is the best thing you know what a study is also found that 60 to 70 percent of dietary supplements sold across india are fake counterfeit unregistered and unapproved the indian dietary supplements market is expected to have reached 4 billion dollars by 2020. well don't feed this market instead eat home-cooked meals beans nuts whole grains oysters red meats dairy they all have zinc grapefruit broccoli orange they're all rich in vitamin c if you really need supplements your doctor will prescribe so do not self-medicate and don't fall for false marketing immunity boosting products master that art have you heard of chavan prash its sales grew seven fold by july 2020 quarter one twenty twenty chevron prash grew six hundred and ninety four percent hanitas grew eighty percent honey 60 in june 2020 patanjali launched swaskari coronal kits by october it had sold 2.5 million of those kids there's a brand called pure earth it produces 100 organic immunity boosting wellness shots or so it claims its sales went up 254 since the global lockdown the numbers were up 320 percent year on year liquid iv is a brand that unilever recently acquired in october it launched an immune support blend a cutting-edge blend of vitamin c vitamin d zinc and wellmune liquid iv's founder and ceo said science is always at the forefront of all our products but you know what science says packaged and processed foods only harm your immune system even if they promise to boost it twice five times ten times or come from the depths of the earth this for example evocus h20 launched by av organics in july 2019 its promise to boost your immunity this bottled alkaline water is black in color do you know why because it supposedly contains 70 minerals 7-0 and they're all sourced from the depths of the earth how wonderful reports say the demand for this water has been up 20 since the pandemic such marketing at best is misleading in many countries misleading ads can be banned last year an ad of the chuckling goat limited was banned by the uk's advertising standard authority do you know why because its product was promising immunity boosting benefits in india the madras high court slapped patanjali with a 10 lakh rupee fine the coronal kit now comes with the tagline kovit 19 immunity booster kit that too shouldn't be allowed you see immunity cannot be boosted instantly our immune system is a little complex immunity can be divided into two parts innate and adaptive innate immunity is dependent on a person's genetics it's inbuilt this has to do with the white blood cells they are the first in line of defense when your body is attacked the second one is the adaptive immune system it involves cells and antibodies these cells are controlled by proteins called cytokines their functioning cannot be controlled regulated or improved by foods so what exactly are we trying to boost by consuming immunity boosters do you know what happens if your immune systems are actually stimulated there is a rush of pro-inflammatory cytokines and they result in soreness and pain in india we've all been drinking kara a concoction of ginger black pepper tulsi honey and other ingredients it's an age-old home remedy for cough and that is that but since the pandemic began we assume that kada will also help us fight the wuhan virus so we've all been drinking kara so much kara that people are complaining of a bad throat let's clear this misconception once and for all here's a truth harsher than kara so far the only tried and tested weapon against the wuhan virus is a vaccine neither consumables nor supplements immunity boosters are a hoax gravitas plus co-presented by skoda simply clever

Didn't watch this video. I'm responding to the title. I do like this channel for learning.The answer is YES you can boost it. I'm living proof. I listened to MedCram when covid was in beginning stages. I take the regiment they suggested. I have the following factors that make a person more susceptible to severe cases of covid: over weight; high bp; heart disease; age. But I am yet to even contract covid once. Also the hospital where I visited family uses NAC, vitamin D and C, to supercharge the immune system. Wife had covid 3 times. I hugged and kissed. And still when tested for antibodies twice I had no antibodies. MedCram is my go to now for learning about taking care of my own self and family.
Yes we can boost immunity with herbal supplements … one of the best supplement that I ever used is Planet Ayurveda's Immune Booster capsules
I am myself a Doctor by profession every single word she said I tried to explain my patients but in India it is very difficult to make people understand that don't go after branding only these types of videos can open up the minds of Indians Thanks so much to Gravitas plus for this very educative video
