The strength of your immune system determines your body's ability to resist infection and control the growth of abnormal cells, which can become cancerous. If it falters evenly slightly you quickly become ill. A strong immune system can make the difference between life and death – take AIDS for example.
If you’re prone to catching colds and find them difficult to shake off, your immunity can’t be working properly.
The human immune system is like an army. Its soldiers, trillions of white blood cells, bone marrow, antibodies, cytokines and the thymus gland, police our bodies for invading microbes. They have to identify and destroy millions of bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi, who invade our bodies on a daily basis.
Once identified your immune system records each invader’s characteristics so it will know exactly how to deal with them the next time they appear. And like an elephant it never forgets.
Without a healthy immune system, your body and mind languish in a state of ill health. But when they’re working properly you’re virtually invincible. Colds and flu’s don’t get a look in. And if you’re injured, your recovery is faster and more complete.
A good indicator of how well your immune system is functioning is how energized and alive you feel. If you feel low or weak your immune system will be vulnerable too.
- Magnesium has a significant effect on the immune system. In one study’s findings, researchers found lower circulating levels of magnesium in 64 patients diagnosed with the HIV virus.
- Zinc plays an important role in immune function too. Researchers have found that even a marginal deficiency in zinc impairs FTS manufacture - a zinc dependent hormone important for immunity.
- Selenium stimulates the immune system and alters the metabolism of carcinogenic substances, preventing an accumulation of free radicals.
- Vitamin A: Essential for the optimal immune response. Stimulates lymphocytes or white blood cells.
- Vitamin C: Bolsters the immune system. Researchers theorise that vitamin C increases the speed and ease with which lymphocytes target and destroy viral infections.
- Co-enzyme Q10: An anti-oxidant assisting in cellular energy production, stimulates the immune system and has anti-ageing properties. Used clinically to address imbalances that lead to immune suppression.
- Astragalus: Rich in polysaccharides. Stimulates the immune system and supports T-cell function; used to treat a wide variety of illnesses from the common cold to Alzheimer’s and to provide support to patients undergoing chemotherapy.

- Goldenseal: This native American Indian favourite is a very powerful antiseptic, disinfectant and astringent. It acts as an antibiotic, cleansing the body and strengthening the immune system, promoting the proper functioning of the colon, liver, pancreas, spleen, lymphatic and respiratory systems. Caution: should not be used during pregnancy as it stimulates the uterus to contract
- Echinacea: Anti-inflammatory, immune stimulator (white blood cell production). Also beneficial for the lymphatic system, colic, colds, flu
- Oregon Grape Root: Contains berberine and hydrastine. Good for treating staph infections, vaginal yeast and urinary tract infections.

If you’re feeling low take one to two tablets a day to gradually build up your immunity to peak performance.
At the first signs of cold or flu, increase dosage to 2 tablets every two to four hours and watch your symptoms evaporate in less than half the time they would take normally! Once back to normal, return to maintenance dosage.
“Last Saturday I felt a cold coming on. I already had some Immuno Boost and started taking it every four hours as you suggest. Felt terrible over Sunday, but by Monday evening I was almost back to normal. Usually my colds drag on for at least a week, so I my opinion your product really does work.” Michael Spence, Carshalton.
