We know that the winter months increase the risk of getting coughs, colds and even the flu but this doesn’t mean we can’t do anything to look after ourselves a little better – that’s why we have created this six month package of essential immunity boosting vitamins for you.
The science is clear about how each of these vitamins can armour our bodies against the respiratory viruses that are prevalent in the colder months – A 2018(1) study showed that vitamin C supplementation leads to an increase in numbers of T-Cells and Natural Killer Cells some of the main immune cell.
A well regarded study from 2017(2) states “vitamin D can improve immune health, prevent autoimmunity, and improve defence against infections. In humans, evidence exists on associations between vitamin D deficiency and impaired immune function.”
But, don’t be fooled into thinking that any old vitamin supplement will help you deal with the health challenges of winter.
This is not the time to save a few pounds and discover that you might as well have flushed your money down the toilet… literally!
For your body to be able to use these vital vitamins they need to be in a form that can be easily absorbed, if this is not the case then they get voided, and that means you are getting no benefit at all.
The reason we have put these two powerful vitamin supplements together is that they are whole food sources of the important compounds, and that means your body gets the nutrients it deserves, in a way it recognises and with the associated phytochemicals and co-factors needed for rapid absorption.
Vitamin C – Our bodies better absorb vitamin C when it’s in a whole food complex, complete with naturally occurring bioflavonoids. These bioflavonoids not only help vitamin C absorption in the body, but also offer their own health giving properties. Derived from oranges and lemons this non GMO, vegan whole food supplement is gentle on your stomach – take one capsules per day.
Vitamin D – Unusually the vitamin D in this supplement comes from a lichen which is sourced from a designated and sustainable growing site where it’s allowed to fully re-grow in areas that have been harvested. The plant-based, vegan, vitamin D3 is the body’s preferred active form. This means it’s easily absorbed, and there is also an added base of coconut oil to further enhance D3 absorption and assimilation of this essential, fat-soluble vitamin. Non GMO and gentle on the stomach – take one capsule per day.
