The immune system is an important component of the body’s defence against disease and illness. It is the immune system that protects the body and helps to fight, kill, destroy and eliminate foreign invaders and infection.
It is not uncommon for people to get the occasional cold or flu, and this is actually considered normal in healthy individuals. However for some these can occur more regularly or become chronic. This is generally a sign that the immune system is weakened. It is important to provide support to the immune system to help it break this vicious cycle.
This formula can be of assistance in times of both chronic and acute illness. It could also be considered at lower doses to support the immune system, particularly during the cold and flu season.
