Winter Immune Bundle

Waltz through Winter like a boss with these powerful immune supporting allies.

Astragalus is hands down one of our best Winter month support ally’s and is primarily used for restoring and strengthening the immune response, enhancing cardiovascular function, and increasing vitality.

As an immune tonic, astragalus is considered an adaptogen, providing deeper immune-system support than echinacea. There have been many clinical studies showing how astragalus not only boosts the immune system, but also encourages an increase in immune cell (T-cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, immunoglobulin) activity, production, and function.

Astragalus appears to help trigger immune cells from a resting state into heightened activity. The number of macrophages (cells of the immune system that ingest foreign antigens to protect against infection) has been shown to increase after administering a decoction of astragalus. The natural killer cells of the immune system also have a markedly enhanced ability to fight intruders (five- to sixfold).

Bee Propolis provides a first line defense against opportunistic respiratory bugs. Keep one in your handbag and car at all times to offer up a serve of protection when you are out and about in public spaces.

Elderberry Elixir specifically rose to fame across the world after a 2009 study was released demonstrating its ability to effectively inhibit the H1N1 strain of the flu (Roschek, et.al., 2009). This came as no surprise, since elderberries support the immune system and recovery process in several different ways.

Research shows that elderberries have an additional benefit of inhibiting viral replication (Kinoshita, et.al., 2012). In one Norwegian study, 60 patients were given elderberry syrup within the first 48 hours of developing flu symptoms. This included patients with both type A and type B influenza. The patients receiving elderberry were over the flu virus within an average of 4 fewer days than those with placebo. (Zakay-Rones, et al, 2004).

Cod Liver Oil is nature’s richest source of Vitamin D3 second only to Caviar in a form that the body can readily access and use. We know that adequate D3 levels are essential for a well functioning immune system.

Retinol is the other vitamin that Cod Liver Oil offers up in spades. Vitamin A (Retinol) is known as an anti-inflammation vitamin because of its critical role in enhancing immune function. It is heavily involved in the development of the immune system and plays regulatory roles in cellular immune responses and humoral immune processes.

Wholefood Native Vitamin C Complex is always preferable to isolated ingredient versions such as Ascorbic Acid. Isolated forms of Vitamin C lack the ‘entourage effect’ of wholefood sources, otherwise known as the synergy of many naturally occurring compounds working together to create a harmonious and easily recognizable nutrient for the body. Nutrients work best when packaged as nature intended.

Food is medicine and a single-serve of this Vitamin C gives you a whopping 234% of your recommended daily intake (RDI). This whole food blend is in easy to consume capsules which allows you to consume as is or also open them up, sprinkle into your smoothies, drinks or even on your cereal. Perfect to use for the whole family.
