Protecting Your Immune System During Cold and Flu Season

As the temps cool down, the sick days stack up. Whether it’s you or your family, no one wants to catch the illnesses making their yearly rounds. To protect your immune system from these bugs, we recommend Wellness Formula, Wellness Herbal Resistance Liquid, and Bifido Balance.

“Your intestinal tract houses 70-80% of your immune system, so you need to have a healthy intestinal tract in order to have a strong immune system,” says Brinti Vincent, a registered and licensed dietitian and nutritionist at Nutritional Weight and Wellness. She recommends taking Bifido Balance every day because it’s “the most prevalent good bacteria in your intestinal tract.” You can take 1-2 capsules about 20 minutes before each meal.

For extra immune-boosting power, try adding Wellness Formula or Wellness Herbal Resistance Liquid to your daily regimen, especially as the cold and flu season approaches. If you prefer liquid over capsules, Wellness Herbal Resistance Liquid is a great option in place of Wellness Formula, with similar ingredients and immune-boosting benefits. You can mix the liquid form into your favorite drink, or it’s easy to swallow a ½ -teaspoon full.

Both Wellness Formula and Wellness Herbal Resistance Liquid are natural solutions designed to support your immune system with its combination of immune-boosting herbs and key nutrients. Melanie Beasley, a registered and licensed dietitian and nutritionist at Nutritional Weight and Wellness recommends these supplements because “their ingredients have a long history of improving immunity.”

The antibacterial herbs like olive leaf extract, garlic clove, ginger root extract, bioflavonoids, and elderberry extract help support your immune system in fighting off any sort of bug.

Many of us at Nutritional Weight & Wellness take Wellness Formula (six capsules a day, two per meal) or Wellness Herbal Resistance Liquid (½ teaspoon, three times a day) when we start experiencing signs of a sickness. For extra protection, you can also take these supplements on an ongoing basis during flu and cold season (two capsules a day for Wellness Formula, and ½ teaspoon a day for Wellness Herbal Resistance Liquid).
