Immune Support A strong immune system is very important for a robust sense of health. If the immune system is weakened, this leaves the body vulnerable to bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic infections, lowering the quality of overall health. The immune system protects us from foreign organisms and invaders, and the stronger it is, the easier we are able to resist these threats to our immune system. It is normal to catch the occasional cold or infection, however when infections occur regularly, the immune system needs to be strengthened. There are many vitamins, minerals and herbs with great nutritional value which work to re-balance and strengthen the immune system: • Vitamin C is often the first go-to for somebody with a cough or cold, or for a preventative immune booster, as Vitamin C helps to increase white blood cell production. • Zinc increases white blood cell production and acts as an anti-viral for the immune system. • Vitamin D, commonly deficient particularly in wintertime due to lack of exposure to sunlight, is necessary for white blood cell production and immune protection. • Vitamin A as well as keeping the skin and mucous membranes healthy, Vitamin A is an anti-oxidant which keeps the immune system healthy by fighting bacteria and viruses. • Selenium is a potent anti-oxidant with free radical scavenging actions. • Herbs such as Elderberry, Echinacea, Olive Leaf and Astragalus stimulate, strengthen and re-balance the immune system and have anti-bacterial actions. • Garlic is known as a natural anti-biotic, excellent for supporting the immune system. • Manuka honey is a honey which is native to New Zealand and has strong anti-bacterial properties when eaten raw. • Propolis is a resinous product made by bees. Propolis is anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. • Colloidal Silver - microscopic particles of silver are suspended in a solution which act as an antiseptic and anti-bacterial. • Beta glucans are made from the cell walls of yeast, and work to boost the immune system. • Probiotics are beneficial bacteria which help to balance the immune system. As eighty percent of the immune system resides in the digestive system, it is very important that we have the correct balance of bacteria. Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria into the digestive system, keeping the ‘bad’ bacteria under control which can interfere with immune system function. • Mushroom complex contains a variety of medicinal mushrooms such as Maitake and Shiitake which work to stimulate the immune system. Other tips and hints: • Avoid sugar as it suppresses the immune system and white blood cell activity. • Avoid dairy products during an infection as they increase the production of mucous and catarrh. • Consume foods rich in Vitamin C and anti-oxidants to feed the immune system. • Reduce stress. Stress and elevated cortisol levels deplete the immune system and leave you more vulnerable to infection.

Multivitamins and Minerals A multivitamin is a blend of nutrients which are used to bridge any gaps in nutrition, and improve general health. It can be difficult to get all of the nutrients we require from our food, due to poor dietary choices, and food being commonly grown in nutrient-depleted soil Multivitamins are helpful for those who want to look after their general health and ensure adequate nutrient intake; who are looking for an energy boost; who need immune system support; and improved fertility.

Probiotics and Prebiotics Probiotics are beneficial bacteria which work to improve our health and wellbeing by keeping the bacteria in the intestinal environment in balance. Beneficial bacteria in the intestines can become depleted due to factors such as excessive stress; medication such as antibiotics or the oral contraceptive pill; high sugar intake; and candida overgrowth. By introducing large amounts of friendly bacteria through supplementing with probiotics, digestive symptoms can be resolved. Probiotics are useful for combating conditions such as candida, irritable bowel syndrome, low energy levels, and digestive symptoms such as bloating or flatulence. Probiotic supplementation is particularly important if you are currently taking, or have ever taken a course of antibiotics, as they strip the digestive system of all bacteria, both ‘good’ and ‘bad’. Prebiotics feed probiotics and help them to proliferate in the digestive tract. FOS (fructooligosaccharides) is a prebiotic which works well alongside probiotic supplementation, working further increase their effects.
