Defend Yourself From Flu and Cold

Hoping to avoid the sniffles, sneezes, watery eyes and sleepless nights this winter? One way to do so is by building up a strong immune system. It will go a long way in fending off colds and the flu. The natural way to fortify your body is with antioxidants. According to Richard Podell, M.D., clinical professor at New Jersey’s Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, recent research indicates that taking a nutritional supplement may help cut winter flu outbreaks in half.

Italian medical researchers gave 130 men and women an immune-stimulating nutrient, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). That winter, those volunteers fared considerably better against Mother Nature, exhibiting only half the amount of serious flu symptoms and other viral illnesses compared to men and women who took a placebo. This is thanks to NAC increasing the body’s reserves of glutathione, an important immune-system stimulant

and antioxidant.

The Green Turtle Bay Vitamin Co., the leading producer of probiotic-powered supplements since 1992, has two powerful partners in its defensive line: PowerVites energy complex without stomach-irritating iron, and the herbal antioxidant PowerMate, which contains NAC and glutathione, as well as other immune-boosting herbs. Both formulas contain a lactobacilli base which aids in nutrient absorption and decreases bad bacteria proliferation.
