Boosting Your Immune System

There’s an easier way to bolster immunity. We all know the basics for keeping our immune system strong in the face of all that winter can bring—eat healthy, keep hydrated, and get adequate rest. But there are also 2 other things you can do that go beyond basic immune protection.

1. Try a combination immune support formula. For core support, consider a formula that contains vitamin C (in a clinically tested, potent form), zinc, and a blend of mushroom extracts (including shiitake and maitake). All 3 approaches have been recommended separately for keeping your immune system running at peak performance. Together—in one convenient formula—they may offer a formidable ally against whatever blows your way.

2. Try a probiotic combination of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM® and Bifidobacterium lactis BI-07. NCFM is one of the most researched probiotic strains. This combination of “good” bacteria was shown in a recent study in young children to significantly reduce the following (vs. placebo or NCFM alone): duration of fever, cough, and runny nose; days absent; and antibiotic use. That’s a pretty convincing argument for supplementing with these specific strains.

These comprehensive nutritional approaches for immune support and overall health are ready and willing to go to work for you today.
