Immune Hero & Immune Hero for Children

There's a new hero in town..
 
IMMUNE HERO
&
IMMUNE HERO FOR CHILDREN
 

Looking after your body’s natural defences has never been more important. With flu season right around the corner, now is the time to supercharge your immune system and protect you and your family against those dreaded seasonal bugs!

Vitamin C and Zinc are essential minerals, which our bodies do not store or make and so we rely on adequate intake from our food and supplements.  

Our bodies will absorb what it needs and will excrete the excess micronutrients. It is always a good idea to ensure you choose clean, natural supplements to ensure there is no build-up of the impurities found in synthetic supplements that are not excreted by our bodies as easily. 
 
AMLA FRUIT
 

A natural source of vitamin C

 
Amla fruit extract (Emblica officinalis), also known as Indian gooseberry extract, is derived from the fruit of the Indian Amla tree. As well as being one of the richest sources of Vitamin C, Amla has been used in traditional medicine for centuries and it is known for its numerous health benefits due to the presence of powerful bioactive compounds. 
 
 
THE POWERFUL BENEFITS OF AMLA FRUIT EXTRACT
 
Immunity
Vitamin C enhances the production and function of white blood cells, which are essential for fighting off infections and illnesses. A robust immune system can help your body ward off common colds, flu, and other infections.
 
Immune Hero has been formulated with natural ingredients that are proven to help reduce the length of a cold!
 
Antioxidant
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that helps to reduce oxidative stress, which is associated with chronic diseases and the ageing process.
 
Collagen

Vitamin C plays a vital role in the synthesis of collagen, a protein that is essential for the health of your skin, hair, and nails.

Immune Hero will help to promote healthy and radiant skin and reducing signs of ageing.

Wound Healing
Vitamin C supports the body's natural wound-healing processes by aiding in the formation of new blood vessels and collagen production.
 
Iron Absorption
Vitamin C will enhance your body’s ability to absorb iron targeting tiredness and fatigue.

 

HOLY BASIL, OYSTER & SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Natural sources of Zinc

    

Zinc plays a pivotal role in maintaining a robust immune system. It helps regulate the production and activity of immune cells, ensuring they function optimally.

Zinc is also crucial for the activity of over 300 enzymes that aid in metabolism, digestion, nerve function, and it is even responsible for our ability to taste and smell!

SYNERGY

When taken together, Vitamin C and Zinc can have a synergistic effect on your health. They work together to support the immune system, enhance wound healing, and promote overall health.

Formulated with nutrient-rich Amla fruit extract, Holy Basil, Oyster and Shiitake mushrooms, Immune Hero is packed with Vitamin C, Zinc, and an abundance of bioactive compounds to help support your health.

The gut & allergy connection

The gut & allergy connection

When spring arrives, many of us struggle with hay fever. Itchy eyes and throat, sneezing, congestion and coughing are all symptoms of this common pollen allergy.

In Naturopathic medicine, we always aim to correct the underlying cause of health issues rather than focus entirely on symptoms. With allergies, we look at the health of the gut, as well as the immune system itself, to find the underlying cause.

The Gut Connection

In Naturopathy, the root cause of most health conditions can be traced back to how well we're digesting and absorbing our food. It's very common for people to have problems with 'leaky gut', where the lining of the intestines has become damaged, allowing larger food particles into the bloodstream which wouldn't normally be there. The immune system initiates a response when it notices something unusual, and repeats this time and again every time we eat problem foods. Eventually, this can lead to an overactive immune system. This may be part of the reason why we can suddenly develop allergies, including hay fever.

Healing a leaky gut properly usually involves identifying and temporarily avoiding problem foods whilst taking medicine to heal the intestinal lining at the same time. Usually, this would be done under the supervision of a Naturopath, Medical Herbalist, or Nutritional Therapist, but there are some self-help measures you can take too. Here are a few ideas:

  • Try completely avoiding all dairy foods for a few weeks. These are known to aggravate catarrh conditions, and there are so many dairy-free alternatives nowadays it's actually quite easy.
  • Get plenty of antioxidants from your diet by 'eating a rainbow' every day. That's at least one fruit or veg from every colour of the rainbow, plus 'black' fruit and vegetables like blueberries and aubergine.
  • This 2016 study found that Turmeric extract was highly effective in treating hay fever, so our high strength turmeric extract - Natruflex will help. Take one capsule daily.

  • Taking Gut Love will help support the bacteria in the gut which can also impact upon your digestion and is the first line of defence for allergies.

  • Rhinodoron Nasal Spray contains aloe vera which acts as a natural barrier to prevent pollen attaching to the membranes of the nose and throat.

Rhinodoron - Clears blocked and stuffy noses.

All of these products can be safely taken alongside antihistamines, but if you have any questions, please get in touch with our registered pharmacists and we'll be happy to help you.
