Although the government is working on a vaccination for the current swine flu, it may take up to six months to produce and may only partially reduce the risk of contracting the virus.
Strengthen Your Immune System
Another way to stay generally healthy is by strengthening your immune system. As well as paying attention to your diet and lifestyle, you can also turn to supplements that help support a strong immune system. We recommend natural, whole food nutrient formulas that have ingredients that specifically help with stress and immune function (containing “Hardship Plants”).
“Hardship Plants” Can Boost Immunity
A recurring characteristic of several components in EpiGaia® is the ability to withstand hardship. Studies have shown that many of these ingredients can lead to stronger immune systems and guard against disease. Examples include:
-
Resveratrol is produced in grape skin in response to environmental challenge.
-
Oleuropein makes the olive plant robust and resistant to attack.
-
Gingko Biloba is the oldest known living tree having withstood the ice age.
-
Several components grow in extreme, harsh climates.
-
There are more than 10 adaptogen components. Adaptogens enhance the body and mind’s capacity to adapt optimally, accurately and with endurance, to stress.
