Aloe Ferox products that will help to keep your immune system in tip-top shape:
WINTER FIGHTER with Echinacea
Research found that the highly active polysaccharides in Echinacea activate specific cells of the immune system that fight infections. Echinacea will also improve the viability of white blood cells, thus building and maintaining the immune system
VITAMIN C+(Ascorbic acid) – Sold out, awaiting stock
Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient. It’s a potent antioxidant (fights free radicals in the body) and a cofactor for a family of biosynthetic and gene regulatory enzymes. Vitamin C contributes to immune defence by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate and adaptive immune system. Vitamin C deficiency results in impaired immunity and higher susceptibility to infections. Supplementation with vitamin C appears to be able to both prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections. Studies have shown that sufficient vitamin C intake can shorten the severity and duration of viral infections and benefit recovery.
WHOLE-LEAF ALOE JUICE
The combined action of the 130 medicinal agents found in the Aloe ferox plant boosts the immune system as well as the general wellbeing of the body. In controlled human trials, polysaccharide (present in Aloe ferox plants) intake stimulated the immune system in the blood of healthy adults and dampened the allergic response to respiratory inflammatory agents.
BODY BASIC
• Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is vital to supporting biochemical reactions in the immune system. Symptoms of vitamin B6 deficiency include depression and weakened immune system.
• Magnesium has a strong relation with the immune system, in both innate and acquired immune response. Magnesium reduces inflammation and helps to
keep viral infections at bay.
• Zinc is a mineral that’s important to the body in many ways. Zinc keeps the immune system strong, helps heal wounds, and supports normal growth. Zinc has become a popular treatment for the common cold. Some studies have found that zinc lozenges may reduce the duration of colds, perhaps by a day or so, and may reduce the number of upper respiratory infections in children. A 2015 analysis of clinical trials found that oral zinc helps to reduce the length of colds when taken within 24 hours after symptoms start. There is a growing body of evidence that zinc is also a messenger in a variety of cellular activities. Intracellular zinc concentration can be changed by immune-related extracellular stimulation, facilitating better signalling pathways for immune homeostasis and functions.
• Vitamin B12 is a powerhouse. It helps make DNA, nerve and blood cells, and is crucial for a healthy brain and immune system. Your metabolism wouldn’t run smoothly without it.
