Cold & Flu Nutritional Protocols

Cold and Flu Season is upon us and that means we need to make sure we are getting what our bodies need to function properly, especially our immune system. The goal is not to avoid every sniffle but to have a “healthy immune response” when our body is faced with a pathogen. Rest and hydration are key as are select nutraceuticals that can boost immunity and provide proper nutrition to the body. Vitamins that are key to keeping our immune system strong are Vitamin C, D and A. PHP’s best-selling AMLA-C is an all natural source of vitamin C as well as naturally occuring key nutrients. Vitamin D3 5000 provides the correct form of vitamin D, one of the most important vitamins in immune health. Eco Liver helps the liver to clear inflammation, toxins and to recycle glutathione. Eco Thymus provides extras immune system support in the form of New Zealand’s purest glandulars. Our new MycoPro 5 has incredible immune system boosting properties – the Chaga, an adaptogenic medicinal mushroom provides mediation between the endocrine system and immune system thereby helping with stress and immunity. Pro ONCE Daily provides fat- and water-soluble, highly bioavailable vitamins as well as Albion chelated minerals, additional immune support is provided by thymus glandular tissue, beta glucan, and antioxidants from green tea extract, resveratrol, and bioflavonoids. It is also important to support the gut during Cold and Flu Season – Pro Flora Max provides 50 billion potent and effective probiotics – Lactobacilus plantarum and rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, longum, lactis and Saccharomyces boulardii as well as fructooligosaccharies (FOS)for prebiotic support.
