Best immune system boosters

With the current H1N1 virus threatening to become a worldwide pandemic, more and more people are becoming concerned about their safety. Although the scientists believe they have a vaccine and are rushing to get it to people, there are many people who are concerned over the safety of the vaccine as much as the risk of getting the flu. Even if the vaccine works, the way viruses mutate and adapt, there is always a new one waiting in the wings.

The best way to protect yourself from the flu, colds and other viruses is to build up your immune system so your body can fight off infection naturally. With a strong and healthy immune system, your body does a very good job of protecting itself – after all, that is the way it was designed. Perhaps it is time to work on giving your body all the things it needs to take care of itself the way it was meant to.

In order to have a healthy and strong immune system, you must take care of yourself. You must eat a varied, healthy diet to ensure that your body gets all the nutrients and micro-nutrients it needs to form strong cells that can repel invasion from micro-organisms. Regular, vigorous exercise is needed to build muscle and improve strength, stamina and vitality. Your body needs rest in order to properly process nutrition, create new cells and repair damage.

Unfortunately, in the mad rush of today’s busy world, it is rare that someone actually eats well, exercises and gets enough sleep on a regular basis. No wonder illness and disease continue to ravage people despite the rise in scientific knowledge and the longer lives we are living today. Even if you are doing the best you can to be as healthy as possible, it doesn’t hurt to have a little extra protection when facing the cold and flu season when we often find ourselves surrounded by germs, no matter what we do.

Viral-Protec (Immu-Stay) is a nutritional supplement that can stimulate your immune system, boost your resistance to bugs and increase the antioxidant activity in your body. These three goals are like adding extra insurance for your body and health. As long as you are a normally healthy person, you should only need to use this supplement for the 3-4 months of the year when colds and flus are so prevalent. With 20 active natural ingredients that work separately as well as interacting beneficially with each other, Viral-Protec is just what you need to keep you healthy through the winter.

Indian echinacea is one of the most powerful ingredients used in Viral-Protec (Immu-Stay). I’m sure you’ve heard of echinacea as there has been a lot of research and discussion on the beneficial aspects of this herb but what you may not know is that India echinacea is the strongest type of this plant. When this herb is used within 72 hours of the onset of a cold, symptoms are significantly improved and when used for at least two months, it reduces the chances of catching a cold by half.

Vitamin C and zinc are both included in the Viral-Protec formula. Both of these are crucial for optimal immune system functioning, as well as improving how the body heals itself. Two other vital minerals that are included are magnesium and manganese. Magnesium ascorbate, the form used in Viral-Protec, not only provides the immune building mineral but also helps the body absorb more of the Vitamin C. Manganese is a powerful antioxidant as well as activating the enzymes needed to process the Vitamin C and other vitamins in the body.

Siberian ginseng is another herbal extract included in the supplement. It has been shown to increase the body’s resistance to environmental stress and as an immune system booster. Olive leaf provides anti-viral properties just as the echinacea does but has also shown to be effective as an antioxidant and a natural antibacterial agent. Black cumin is included for it’s immune boosting capabilities and it’s natural antihistamine effects. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory agent and antioxidant.

Other ingredients work on a more synergistic basis by interacting and enabling the body to absorb and utilize other nutrients better. Bilberry not only improves the cardiovascular system but is an antioxidant and increases Vitamin C levels at a cellular level. Piperine, an extract from black pepper plants, enables a greater bio-availability of a number of valuable nutrients and micro-nutrients. That means the body can use more of the important nutrients needed to improve immune function.

The best way to deal with colds and flu is to prevent yourself from catching them in the first place. The only way to do this is to have a strong immune system. Along with a healthy diet, regular exercise and plenty of rest, taking Immu-Stay through the fall/winter months will help your immune system function at it’s best and make it harder for any illness to have a chance to take hold in your body.
