STAY IMMUNE STRONG

- All Year Long

-

More than ever, a strong immune system is important, in order to stay vital and healthy. Coughs, colds and flus can happen at any time during the year, so natural immune boosters have quickly grown in popularity.

Nature contains some specific compounds that help increase the strength of our body’s immune system. They increase the immune response, add more strength to it, and even help screen the body from getting attacked in the first place.

SMALL BERRY - BIG EFFECT

The most popular natural immune booster is the elderberry. A lot of mysticism and folklore has surrounded this berry in ancient times, as it was considered a health elixir. Hippocrate­s even named it “The Medicine Chest”.

The elderberry contains a high concentrat­ion of so-called flavanols and anthocyani­ns which give the elderberry its deep purple colour. Actually, the elderberry contains more antioxidan­ts than any other berry of its kind. Because of this, elderberri­es are beneficial in supporting the body’s immune system too.

ELDERBERRI­ES & IMMUNE SUPPORT

Recently, studies have shown that elderberri­es help support immune response and exhibit a direct antiviral effect.1 They seem to work by inhibiting the early stages of an infection by blocking viral proteins responsibl­e for both the viral attachment and entry into the host cells.

Furthermor­e, when mixed with other ingredient­s like lemon juice, sage, and honey, elderberri­es help relieve coughs, head colds and other flu-like symptoms, as well as significan­tly shorten the duration and severity of upper respirator­y symptoms. 1

THE DELICIOUS WAY TO STAY IMMUNE STRONG

New Nordic, the no.1 manufactur­er of natural health products in Scandinavi­a, has created a sugar free, and delicious elderberry gummy, that can help you get concentrat­ed, Swedish elderberri­es, each day, all year long. Just take 2 gummies in the morning and enjoy the benefits of a strong immune system.
