That makes this upcoming cold and flu season even more important for us to have our immune systems functioning at the highest possible level and using a full spectrum of nutritional support to keep our bodies functioning at peak efficiency.
About six weeks ago Shaklee introduced Nutriferon, the world’s first natural interferon booster. Nutriferon targets specific immune nourishment to enhance the production of natural interferon in your body. Interferon is a natural substance produced in the body that signals neighboring cells and triggers their defense mechanisms, and it activates other immune cells that kill invading pathogens. Nutriferon provides the highest level of immune protection on the market today and optimizes immune response against environmental irritants and airborne substances.
As important as Nutriferon is, there are other critical nutrients you can take to build up your overall health defenses. Shaklee’s Essentials Foundation is the best, most complete nutritional program you can find. It comes with both the Shaklee Basics daily vita-strips and Energizing Protein to provide the critical nutrients your body needs to build healthy cells. With the Essential Foundation you get Shaklee’s legendary Vita-Lea multivitamin, that supports the immune system. And Sustained Release Vita-C and Vita-E Complex, two potent antioxidant vitamins that help maintain natural antioxidant defenses. Plus Energizing Soy Protein, the healthiest source of natural, biologically complete protein to keep you energized and feeling your best.
For the most powerful antioxidant protection you can buy, Shaklee CarotoMax® and Shaklee FlavoMax™ Antioxidant Pack delivers a 30-day supply of whole-body antioxidant protection. CarotoMax contains the six most important classes of carotenoids, while FlavoMax provides the six key classes of flavonoids. Combined, they are nature's antioxidant powerhouses, protecting your cells and DNA from free radical attacks.
Shaklee’s Defend & Resist Complex is another important product to keep in your medicine cabinet to quickly supercharge your immune system the moment you feel anything coming on or to lessen the severity and minimize the downtime should a cold develop. It gives you four clinically proven immune-supporting ingredients:
- echinacea
- black elderberry
- larch tree
- zinc
Finally, Immunity Formula I® provides the essential nutrients for healthy immune function. Starting with your biggest weapon - your skin - Immunity Formula I provides zinc, vitamins E and C, and beta carotene to maintain the health of this first line of defense. In addition, it protects on the inside with beta-carotene, vitamins C, E, B6, B12, and folic acid, as well as mineral support from copper, selenium, and zinc. Full nutrient potency is guaranteed with ShakleeGuard®, a patented blend of antioxidants and rosemary extract.
So how much immune supplement protection do you need? It depends on your lifestyle, diet and health history. If you are often stressed and/or fatigued, chances are your immune system is weakened and you need more immune supplementation. If you have a poor diet that rarely includes fresh fruits and vegetables you may want to supplement more to build both your overall health and your immune system. If you frequently catch colds or consider being sick two or three times a year normal, you should consider extra immune supplementation. And finally, if you just want to be prudent and take a preventative approach to health especially during the flu season, you’ll want to take additional immune supplementation.
