Now is the time of year to strengthen the immune system, to prevent those respiratory infections getting a hold. 

Prevention involves simple things like covering your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing and having your own utensils if someone else in the family or at work has a cold.  Washing your hands properley is also important. 

What else can you do? 

Get your Vitamin D and Zinc levels tested. Both these compounds can protect your immune system if they are at the correct level. Your doctor can test your vitamin D levels, whilst I can test your zinc levels and prescribe you the correct zinc to take to correct it. I also have vitamin D in stock.

Use of herbs and supplements 

Echinaceae - This is a well known herb .The best formula needs to have Echinaceae as the root part and two particular species. They give the best absorbtion and best results. And you can take it all year round at a low dose in liquid or tablet form. 

A probiotic

We have 70-80% of our immune system in our digestive tract, so taking a probiotic acts as a great preventative. 

Give me a call, if you would like to know more and I have good quality Echinaceae and probiotics in stock. 

Lifestyle and work balance

Ask yourself, do I need to make changes to my diet, exercise, relationships, work or stress levels? All this determine whether your immune system will be strong or not.
