Would you like to minimize your risk of infection and naturally treat symptoms if you do get a cold or flu this winter? Well you can! Science has shown that certain nutrients act to block or inhibit the process that a virus needs to replicate, multiply and infect the body. Vitamin A is necessary to maintain the mucus barrier in the airways and acts as an antioxidant. It is critical in the development of white blood cells and specialized attack cells of the immune system. Selenium has been shown to be essential in the production of glutathione, which interferes and limits viral replication. Lipoic Acid also fights against viral attack and replication. Vitamin D has incredible anti-microbial effects. It produces many peptides which help to attack viruses, bacteria and fungi. These are just a few of the essential elements that the body needs to fight off a viral attack. They can be taken individually or in combination form such as, Bio-Immunozyme Forte or Ultra Vir-X. With the help of these nutrients you can boost your immune system and minimize the effects of the colds, flus and viruses that we are exposed to over the winter.
