Immune System

A strong Immune System is one of your greatest health assets. Fending off hundreds if not thousands of microbes every day, it destroys cancer cells, mends wounds, and cleans up old and worn out tissue. Which is why building your immune-insurance is so very worthwhile ...

Low levels of Vitamin A, Folic Acid, B Vitamins, Vitamin C, Iron and Zinc all weaken immunity. This means that your most basic immune policy should be a healthy diet rich in fresh vegetables, oily fish and whole grains - as well as a good Multivitamin and Mineral supplement. Try our Multi A-Zinc, or our specially formulated Multi 50+ version for those over 50 years.

Vitamin C is the master of immune-boosting nutrients and plays more than a dozen roles in strengthening your body's defenses. It makes immune cells more active, destroys toxins and kills bacteria and viruses. Take this not just to strengthen immunity, but, in higher daily doses of 1000mg+ to treat infections - try our Vitamin C 1000mg Chewable twice daily - or Rosehip, the richest natural source of this vitamin.

Another great general immune-protector are Fish Oils. They're rich in Vitamin A, which strengthens the digestive tract, lungs and nasal passages so stops invaders from getting in. They also contains Vitamin D, a substance that helps the body target and kills cancerous and other abnormal cells. For help fighting infections, Garlic (High Strength or Odourless) acts as natural antibiotics killing bacteria and viruses while boosting your own natural immunity. Echinacea is a great immune-booster too - taken at the first sign of infection, it can prevent or reduce the duration of flu or colds by up to three days.

Cats Claw is a powerful immune-enhancer that also fights inflammation, especially if you have an infection or chronic illness that involves tenderness, pain or swelling. And don’t forget the best-ever cystitis cure - Cranberry. Trials have now established this as an effective treatment for urinary tract infections. Supplements tend to work more efficiently than juice which has a high sugar content – but you’re welcome to try both!
