Air Filters and Top 3 Supplements & Supports
When wildfire smoke fills the air, it’s not just our lungs that feel the impact—our entire body is working harder to filter, detoxify, and protect itself. Even if you’re indoors, fine particles (PM2.5), toxic gases, and other pollutants can make their way inside, affecting respiratory health, immunity, and inflammation levels. While the best protection is still avoiding smoke exposure, using air purifiers, and wearing proper masks outdoors, certain supports can help your body cope more effectively.
1. N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)
Why it helps:
Boosts glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant, helping neutralize free radicals from air pollution and support liver detox.
Supports lung health and mucus clearance, aids detox pathways, and shields cells from oxidative damage.
Dose: 600–1,200 mg/day (divided).
(I love using the app AirVisual to see what the AQI of the air in my area is to decide how much I dose)
2. Vitamin C
Why it helps:
Potently supports immune function and tissue repair, especially depleted during smoke exposure.
Promotes collagen formation for healthy respiratory lining and may reduce histamine-induced irritation.
Dose: 500–2,000 mg/day, divided. (Large single doses may cause loose stools.)
3. Xlear® Nasal Spray (Xylitol + Saline)
Why it helps:
Helps flush out nasal-passage smoke particles, reducing irritation and pollutant load before they enter lungs.
Keeps nasal tissues hydrated and less reactive, improving nasal hygiene and lowering infection risk.
Use: 1–2 sprays per nostril, 2 times daily during smoke events.

Why AirDoctor Filters Are Essential During Fire Season
1. UltraHEPA Filtration—Industry-Leading Particle Capture
AirDoctor’s UltraHEPA filters trap 99.99% of particles down to 0.003 microns, which is about 100× smaller than standard HEPA filters—crucial for filtering out wildfire smoke and ultra-fine irritants.
2. Dual-Action Carbon/VOC Filters for Gases & Odors
Smoke contains not just particulates but also volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and gases. AirDoctor’s carbon- and gas-trap filters target these pollutants effectively, complementing particle filtration.
3. Smart Auto Mode & Filter Alerts for Maintenance Ease
Features like auto-adjusting fan speeds based on real-time air quality and a filter-change indicator make AirDoctor user-friendly—ensuring optimal performance without guesswork.
4. Science-Backed Performance for Smoke & Allergens
Both reviews and independent testing confirm AirDoctor models excel in mitigating allergens, mold, smoke, bacteria, and viruses—making them a reliable choice during wildfire conditions.
