Description
- For colds, flus, and more
- Supports optimal immune function
- Speeds recovery
A common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that includes your nose and throat. Symptoms usually appear one to three days after exposure and include the typical sore throat, runny or congested nose, cough, sneezing, low-grade fever and mild body aches. A fever higher than 39.4 C distinguishes a cold from a different type of viral infection.
Your immune system is the first defence against infectious organisms. It’s made up of a network of cells, tissues and organs that work together to create an immune response. Most of the time it does its job, but sometimes a weak link can allow for a virus or other infectious organisms to creep in and lead to illness.
Cold-Pro™ Immune Formula is designed to maintain and strengthen the immune system, aid in the symptomatic relief of colds and flus and speed recovery. It contains seven potent, immune boosting nutrients plus antiviral and antibacterial herbs. Research shows that each ingredient in Cold-Pro™ is extremely effective on its own, and combining them has produced a synergistic and powerful immune formulation.
What does Cold-Pro do for me?
Andrographis extract
Shown extensively in studies to increase the body’s resistance to infection by stimulating the production of antibodies and macrophages. It contains andrographolides, which are known to possess strong antiviral activity.
Reishi mushroom extract
Widely used in Asia for enhancing the immune system. Its polysaccharides seem to have a variety of pharmacological effects, including immune modulation and antiviral and antibacterial activity.
Vitamin C
Linked to reduced incidence, duration and severity of the common cold at a daily intake of 200mg or more.
Echinacea extract
Widely recognized for its immune-stimulating properties and its ability to support and promote the body’s own resistance to infections. Several trials have shown that people who take echinacea as soon as they feel sick reduce the severity of cold symptoms.
Astragalus extract
Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to strengthen the body against disease. It supports the immune system and helps to combat upper respiratory tract infections. Studies have shown that astragalus also has antiviral properties that help to prevent colds and flus.
