This cold and wet spring has meant that there has been a prolonged season of cold and flu and we are still seeing lots of sick people in the health shops.
If you want to stay healthy and boost your immune system then taking vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin, can help. Even though you might be outdoors more at the moment you probably aren’t getting a sufficient dose of Vitamin D from the sun alone because the sun is not strong and your body is probably still covered up with jumpers, coats and hats! So keep taking vitamin D for a while longer. We have some really good products in a range of strengths. Pharmanord’s Bioactive D Pearls are a great choice.
Remember that 80% of your immune system is in your gut and supplementing with beneficial bacteria can not only improve your digestive system it can improve your immunity. NaturesPlus new Immune Microbiome is a next generation formulation with 19 strains of beneficial bacteria proven to help your immune system.
So what if you have a cold, how can you shake it fast?
Make sure that you drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. Being properly hydrated can help your immune system fight the illness and alleviate symptoms. Rest and take care of yourself and allow your immune system to fight the virus.
Taking a good quality Vitamin C can help too. Somega’s Liposomal Vitamin C is a great choice if you are fighting a cold. It’s a great tasting liquid formula suitable for the whole family. Research has shown liposomal vitamin C is nearly twice as bioavailable as non-liposomal vitamin C.
