There’s been a lot of people calling in to the stores with a nasty chest cold. Whether you’ve had it already or you’ve escaped so far you should boost your immune system. We have a whole range of different immunity boosters and cold remedies available in the shop – these are a few favourites.
As always we recommend that you come in to see us in the Kanturk or Charleville stores for personal recommendations for your own specific condition but here are a few general recommendations of products for treating colds, boosting immunity and boosting energy.
TAKE GOOD QUALITY VITAMIN C AND ZINC
Vitamin C will help your body to fight off illness. Zinc is very important for the production of the white blood cells which will help you to fight viruses. Sambucol Immuno Forte is Black Elderberry Liquid with Vitamin C and Zinc designed specifically for the treatment and prevention of colds and viruses. You can use use EsterC which is a very high quality vitamin C supplement which is non-acidic and gentle on the stomach and easy for your body to absorb.
TRY SINUFORCE
Use Sinuforce Nasal Spray if your nose is blocked during or after a cold. Other symptoms may include a feeling that your sinuses are congested (possibly causing headaches), or catarrh sitting stubbornly in your nasal passages. It is also a good product to try if you are finding it hard to breathe freely through your nose, with symptoms affecting your sleep or ability to exercise.
If your symptoms are caused by hayfever or allergic rhinitis (allergies to dust or animals), giving you an itchy, runny or irritated nose, Pollinosan Luffa Nasal Spray will be more suitable for you. Other symptoms may include your nose and eyes reacting to certain weather conditions or factors that you can’t pin down.
FOR SINUSITIS
Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme found naturally in the fruit, juice and stem of the pineapple plant it has been found to be effective for the treatment of sinusitis in some studies*. We have both Viridian and Solgar Bromelain supplements in the online shop.
KEEP YOUR GUT HEALTHY
Gut health has a huge impact on your health physically and recent Irish research has shown it to be an influencer on emotional health so keep your stomach in tip top condition. Eat well, reduce sugar intake, increase your intake of fresh fruit and vegetables and drink lots of water.
Taking a special microbiotic such as Udo’s Choice can promote gut health.
BOOST YOUR ENERGY LEVELS
Recovering from an illness can leave you feeling drained and we have some great pick me ups in store packed with energy giving supplements.
We highly recommend Source of Life Gold .
