3 Easy Steps:

1. IgG Protect: IgG protect comes from purified bovine colostrum and in 2 separate trials, it proved to be 3 times more effective than the flu vaccine. Traditionally, colostrum is considered the “first food” of newborns because it is easily digestible and enhances the immune system. More recently, colostrum has been shown to regulate the immune system and provide vital growth and healing factors. An optimally functioning immune system prevents unwanted toxins and molecules from disturbing the body’s natural homeostasis. Colostrum naturally includes immune factors, amino acids, nucleotides and growth factors which provide several benefits to human immune health by functioning against microorganisms. There are five main immunoglobulins, but the most common is IgG, which accounts for 75-80% of all serum antibodies in the body. IgG plays a major role in immune system function, as it defends the body against foreign substances. 2 capsules per day.
2. MitoCORE: MitoCORE is a powerful multivitamin that is proven to provide the right fuel so our mitochondria’s in each cell can produce significant energy! Lack of sleep, too much stress, poor nutrition and prescription medications can draw on energy reserves, using them up faster than they can be replenished. Our immune cells require significant energy to fight off any virus and bacteria. When the mitochondria is weakened, our bodies have a harder time defending from illnesses like cold and flu. MitoCORE is a scientifically formulated blend of nutrients specifically designed to recharge cellular energy production, increase antioxidant protection, support detoxification capacity, and support immune function. 2-4 capsules per day.
3. Probiotics: Pro-Flora is a unique probiotic formula designed to deliver active organisms shown to promote healthy gut microflora, protect intestinal integrity and boost immune function. Included in this formula is Saccharomyces boulardii, an extensively researched microorganism shown to help restore microflora balance by enhancing commensal organism function.
