Can someone help me build a plan of supplements and natural foods to increase immune health?

Fall is coming, and like many teenagers, I’m wary of the swine flu as well as the usual flu risk. I’m in healthy shape, but I’d like to make sure my defenses are top notch. After some research I’ve compiled a list of substances that will supposedly be beneficial. I was just wondering if it is best to get these from natural sources or if its safe to take supplements, in what dosages, and if a combination of these substances is safe. They include -

Vitamin D - Absorbed from sun exposure but is also found in fish and available in supplements.

Resveratrol - Most highly concentrated natural source is grape skins, but some recommend taking a supplement.

Quercetin - Naturally occurring in red grapes, apples, and onions but can be taken as a supplement.

Beta Glucan - Found in oats and grains.

N-Acetyl Cysteine - Available as a supplement, clinically proven to boost resistance to influenza.

Vitamins B6 and E

Last but not least, the most popular, Vitamin C.

Are all of these safe for a teenager to take daily? If they are, what are the safe recommended dosages, and in what forms should they be consumed, be it natural or supplement forms?

Thanks!

I need information on Resveratrol. There are many veriations on the market…..which are the recommended.?

I am interested in buying Resveratrol. I have two questions:
I also take Tekturna 150mg. Is it safe in taking both of these together.
Secondly, i am somewhat confused about the Resveratrol. I thought it was derived from grape skins. i ordered it online and when it arrived yesterday the main ingredient was listed as "polygonum cuspidatum".
Can you clarify what Resveratrol supposed to be as I am anxious about taking these pills. Any information would be appreciated.

Has anyone taken a resveratrol supplement or know of someone who has?

How long did you take it? What specific supplement did you take? What kinds of results did you get from it?
Resveratrol is the ingredient found in the grape skins. It is found in red wine.
