Winter is upon us, with a natural rise in the ills and chills during these colder months. Our kids at school are more exposed to bugs, and homes become ideal environments for these bugs to thrive.
Giving your family an immune boost during winter is a great way to help the body fend off nasty bugs the natural way. “The winter ills and chills often require extra immune support,” says Sharlene Bennett, an Auckland-based naturopath. “Natural immune boosters are perfect for winter, and will give your family that extra line of defence against nasty bugs.”
GIVE YOUR BODY A BOOST
If you’re looking for a natural supplement to help protect the whole family during winter, Bennett recommends Good Health’s Viralex range for its naturally powerful immune support. “Viralex Attack is particularly effective at the onset of ills and chills. The unique ingredient EpiCor starts working in just two hours, and along with key ingredients – olive leaf, pelargonium root and zinc – supports the body’s natural immune defences for optimal health and wellbeing,” she says.
The Viralex range contains clinically researched ingredients proven to help support our general health, and provide extra support for our body’s normal immune defences – all year around. “EpiCor provides many health benefits in the body, including its proven ability to support rapid immune defence, and better gut health,” where Bennett explains up to 80 per cent of our immune system is made.
Epicor is a whole-food yeast fermentate, a unique natural ingredient comprised of proteins, fibres, polyphenols, vitamin acids, beta glucans and many beneficial metabolites that work together to boost your immune system.
When it comes to your kids, it’s very common for them to have high exposure to everything going around, particularly at this time of year. Their immediate environments, such as school and daycare, mean consistent exposure to an array of bugs. “Viralex Kids contains the clinically researched ingredient Wellmune, proven to give less days off school and daycare,” says Bennett. Supplementing our normal immune defences during this time helps to provide extra support for the immune system. Natural ingredients, such as vitamin C in the Viralex range, that help support or boost immunity, are gentle yet effective in providing acute or every day immune protection.
