Support the immune system!
The autumn and winter seasons are unfortunately time of colds. We can take care of a strong immune system on our own, with regular physical activity and a diet rich in vitamins and amino acids. However, a healthy lifestyle is often not enough. Besides the bad weather, also stress and bad mood, which we feel on short and cold days, can affect our immune system.
What is a cold and why do we get sick?
The common cold is known as a viral disease. We can become infected by droplets (in the range of up to two meters), or by contact with infected hands, objects and so on. On colder days, we inhale cold and dry air, causing the mucous membranes in the airways to thicken and protect the respiratory tract. However, thickening of the mucous membrane prevents microbes from leaving the body, so they multiply in the body and cause infection.
Cold symptoms
Sore throat or itching, coughing and irritation, and runny nose are the most common symptoms. The cold may go away after a few days, or it may progress. In this case, we may also feel a headache, higher body temperature, malaise and nausea.
For strong immune system in the autumn and winter, we recommend consuming Immune Boost.
What is Immune boost and when to take it?
Immune boost is a dietary supplement that contains mushrooms (Reishi, Chaga and Cordyceps) and Astragalus, and coconut palm sugar and mesquite for sweetness.
- Reishi mushroom is a traditional Chinese herb used to boost the immune system. In addition, it helps regulate cholesterol levels and supports the cardiovascular system.
- Chaga is a Siberian mushroom rich in beta glucans, which are the most important molecules in the fight against microbes. Chaga contains as much as 20 g of beta glucans per 100 g.
- Cordyceps is a Chinese mushroom that is actually an entomopathogen. It grows on the larva of insects at the beginning of the year, and then turns into a fungus. It has a strong immunosuppressive effect.
- Astragalus is rich in antioxidants and has adaptogenic properties, which means that it has an anti-stress effect and thus helps to strengthen the immune system.
It can be taken preventively during the cold season and/or during a cold for faster recovery.
