Top Notch Superfoods that will Boost Immunity  Our bodies have an amazing mechanism to defend against sickness, and it’s called the immune system. The immune system is a collection of biological responses that defend us from threats against the body. Its job is to identify and deal with any sort of foreign invader, such as the viruses that cause colds and the flu.
When our immune system is suppressed, infection can occur. But if you have a healthy and high-functioning immune system, you are far less likely to have viruses take hold inside your body. In other words, you are less likely to get sick. We believe in empowering your body with vitamins and minerals from real food, not with pills that were made in a processing plant. There is harmony in the way nature creates food; a balanced blend of phytochemicals, vitamins, minerals, fatty-acids, protein, and fiber packed into a tasty, beautiful little package.
Why eat a chalky multi-vitamin or a sugar-filled gummy-vitamin when Mother Nature has created an abundance of immune boosting foods and herbs, with all sorts of delicious flavors and textures? That’s what we’re all about – now let’s talk about our favorite immune-boosting superfoods!
It’s a well known fact that vitamin C is an effective defense against colds and the flu.1 Most of us go to the medicine cabinet for flu and cold prevention… but we want you to drop that artificial supplement!
What if we told you that there’s an organic whole food capable of nourishing your body with over 30 times more vitamin C than oranges?
Meet the camu camu berry, an amazing superfruit that is said to be one of the highest sources vitamin C in the world. One study observed that camu camu naturally acts as an anti-inflammatory, which is potentially useful “as a functional food for prevention of immune-related diseases.”2
Our raw, organic, non-GMO Camu Camu Powder is hand-picked in the South American rainforest and processed with no additives or fillers. It is incredibly potent; a little goes a long way! Just 1 tsp gives you 240% of the RDA of vitamin C! See what our customers are saying
Magnesium Oil Magnesium plays an integral role “in more than 300 chemical reactions that keep the body working properly,” including “the proper growth and maintenance of bones…nerves, muscles, and many other parts of the body.”3 That’s a lot of functions!
According to a recent study, “magnesium deficiency can weaken the immune system and make the body more susceptible to infections.”4 Magnesium deficiency impairs immune functions, causing an inflammatory response in the body – which if untreated may increase the risk of cancer, diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.
Our Magnesium Oil is a convenient way to get magnesium straight into your bloodstream through your skin. The making of this supplement involves a groundbreaking process which infuses magnesium minerals into purified water up to its saturation point which is required for optimal absorption and maximum cellular retention. This is what gives our Magnesium Oil the ability to penetrate quickly and deeply. See what our customers are saying
Spanish Bee Pollen Pollen are tiny, dust-sized granules found on the stamen of all flower blossoms. As honey bees travel from flower to flower looking for nectar, the pollen collects into little clumps on their legs, and is deposited into a collection vessel.
As a low volume and high intensity superfood, Bee Pollen is a nutrient dense powerhouse containing 20% complete protein, amino acids, vitamins A, B, & C, as well as essential minerals, including iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and calcium.
Bee Pollen’s intense make-up of proteins, vitamins and minerals are widely documented for their antioxidant activity.
The National Institute of Health states that these antioxidant molecules “have been studied for their capacity to prevent radiation toxicity both with regard to reduction of radiation-related cytotoxicity and for reduction of indirect radiation effects including long-term oxidative damage.”7
Meaning, they have the ability to strengthen immunity, counteract the effects of radiation and chemical toxins, and generate optimal health and vitality. See what our customers are saying
With the help of these whole, powerful superfoods, you are sure to be one step ahead of the cold and flu season this year! 1: “The effectiveness of vitamin C in preventing and relieving the symptoms of virus-induced respiratory infections.” Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, Oct 1999. |
