Will this cure my cold or flu?
Our IMMUNITY Superfood Powder was designed to support your immune system using immune–specific, 100% natural ingredients. If you do have signs and symptoms of a cold or flu, we highly recommend taking this powder to best support your body with a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals. However, it is not a prescription medicine designed to cure or treat any specific health condition.
How is the IMMUNITY Powder different to the SUPERGREEN Powder? Isn’t SUPERGREEN also helpful for immunity?
Our SUPERGREEN Superfood Powder is designed for all–round energy and general wellbeing. It has over 40 ingredients specifically chosen to support the body in healthy general functioning. Sometimes though the body needs more support, particularly when we are run down or fighting colds, flus and viruses. At these times, the body can benefit from specific ingredients that target immune support. And as such our IMMUNITY Superfood Powder was created with this in mind.
The Science
IMMUNITY Superfood Powder is designed with a blend of targeted immune-supporting ingredients. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, adaptogens and probiotics to help strengthen overall immune function. When it comes to immune support, helping the body adapt to internal and external immune stressors (such as emotional stress or harmful pathogens) is important. Arming each cell with potent antiviral, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties is vital for immune health.
Vitamin C, Zinc and Immunity
Vitamin C is one of the most potent immune nutrients studied to date. When the immune system is under attack from harmful pathogens and bacteria, Vitamin C levels fall significantly in important immune cells (due to stress predominantly) which is one of the reasons it is important to increase vitamin C intake at times of sickness. When supplemented, clinical studies have shown that Vitamin C helps strengthen immune cell function and antimicrobial activity significantly. Similarly, Zinc is another immune essential. Studies have shown that insufficient Zinc levels are associated with impaired immune cell function, meaning your innate and adaptive immunity (the two main types) aren’t able to fight off viruses and pathogens to the best of their ability. A large number of clinical trials that looked at the efficacy of Zinc and Vitamin C supplementation in immune health have shown that these two compounds help reduce cold and flu symptoms, and decrease the duration and severity of respiratory tract infections (including the common cold).

Gut Health
The gut contains the largest mass of lymphoid tissue (organised structures that support immune responses) in the body – housing 70% of your entire immune system. This tissue is known as gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), and it holds the most important immune cells in the body such as B cells, T cells, lymphocytes, macrophages, and beyond. Ensuring that this large component of the immune system is functioning optimally relies on the diversity and strength of your gut – hence where probiotic supplementation comes in. When ingested, probiotics help diversify the bacteria in your gut and subsequently support a stronger immune system.

Adaptogens
Pre-clinical and clinical studies on adaptogens (including Ashwagandha Root and Astragalus Root present in IMMUNITY Superfood Powder showcase their beneficial use in the prevention and treatment of viral infections. This is noted by a decrease in inflammation, increased detoxification processes, support against stress-induced oxidative damage to the infected cells, antiviral effects, and shortened recovery time.
