As winter approaches, it is important to boost the body's natural defences. Stimulating the immune system helps to fend off the viruses responsible for the colds, ...flu and bronchitis that often accompany the cold season. This is even more important as the years pass and our immune systems become weaker, increasing our vulnerability to viruses and bacteria.

¤ Winter Immune Booster contains natural ingredients that act synergistically to boost the immune system's ability to resist winter infections :
- Astragalus membranaceus, an adaptogen plant, has been used for many years in traditional Chinese medicine to boost the body's defences against disease. Research has shown that Astragalus extract stimulates the immune system in different ways and boosts its efficacy. In particular, it is used to help the immune system prevent colds and upper respiratory tract infections.
- Naringin is a bioflavonoid found in grapefruit - it gives the fruit its bitterness. It has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
- Le Panax ginseng is an adaptogen that helps the body resist attacks. A number of studies have shown that ginseng has a modulatory effect on the immune system and that it helps combat the ‘flu virus in particular.
- Zinc (picolinate) plays a crucial role in many aspects of the immune system, from maintaining skin barrier integrity to regulating lymphocyte genes. It is also necessary for the development and healthy function of cells involved in cell-mediated immunity (such as neutrophils and natural killer cells). Increased susceptibility to infection is associated with zinc deficiency.
- Extract of Lonicerae flos (Japanese honeysuckle) has been part of the Chinese pharmacopaeia for over two thousand years. Studies show that it boosts the immune system and has antibacterial and antiviral properties.
