Wellness for your immune system

Bacteria and viruses are constantly trying to enter the human body, but the body has its own defense system: immunity. Learn how to help your immune system and strengthen its defenses.

Immunity is a very complex system and its strength depends on many factors. Immune system cells are found in all tissues of the body, so it is important to approach its support in a comprehensive way. 

1. Saturate your body with vitamins and minerals

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), there is a certain set of vitamins and minerals that are essential for the immune system to function properly:

EFSA also states that the following vitamins and minerals help protect cells from oxidative stress:

Nothing can replace a healthy diet, but supplements can help maintain proper nutrient levels.

Multivitamins & Minerals is a balanced formula of 12 vitamins and 10 minerals designed to help protect your body, whether male or female. The complex supports the work of the whole body, helps to increase vitality, reduces fatigue and tiredness, contributes to the immune system and body resistance.

2. Eat enough antioxidants 

Oxidative stress is the process of cell damage caused by free radicals. Phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, control free radicals and protect against oxidative stress, which damages cells and places an additional burden on the immune system.

A person needs at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Fruits and vegetables are high in vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and dietary fiber. Your plate should contain all the colors of the rainbow, so you get the maximum variety of nutrients that combat oxidative stress first and foremost. 

Astaxanthin and blueberry extract complex contains the natural carotenoid astaxanthin, which has a unique structure different from other antioxidants, allowing it to cover the entire cell and protect it from the inside.

To enhance the benefits of the product, we have added blueberries from the forests of Sweden, as well as vitamins C and E. This combination enhances the body's antioxidant properties, protecting its cells from damaging oxidative stress.

3. Support the gut microflora

Although immune cells are distributed throughout the body's tissues, 70% of your immune system is concentrated in the gut. Therefore, healthy digestion is paramount to the immune system's defenses.

The best thing you can do to keep your gut healthy is to "feed" the beneficial bacteria in it with the food they love most - prebiotic dietary fiber.

Prebiotic fiber is a type of soluble (gel-forming) fermentable dietary fiber. The most studied prebiotic fibers are inulin and FOS (fructooligosaccharides), which are found in plant foods such as chicory root, artichokes, garlic, onions and bananas.

Prebiotics not only improve digestion but also strengthen your immune system.

A prebiotic drink with dietary fiber is rich in inulin and FOS - great nutrition for gut microflora.
