Cold and flu season is in full swing and those who have already come down with the flu will tell you that it’s a force to be reckoned with. Fighting off the cold and the flu is a top priority this time of year and one of the best defenses is making sure that your body has all the nutrients it needs for your immune system to be running as efficiently as possible. That’s why we’ve picked these supplements to help you fight that battle.
Viracid is a powerful combination of key nutrients and botanical extracts that provide support for immune challenges. The dynamic nature of the immune system means that all factors that affect health need to be addressed in order for it to function at peak performance. While vitamin deficiencies can compromise the immune system, consuming immune-enhancing nutrients and botanicals can support and strengthen the body’s immune response.
New research is focusing on the synergistic relationship between vitamin K2 and vitamin D3, for bone and cardiovascular health. A group of naturally occurring and structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin K is essential for the proper utilization of calcium. Through its activation of the protein osteocalcin, vitamin K helps to bind newly absorbed calcium to the mineral matrix in bone. Thus, vitamin K and vitamin D not only share similar qualities, but they also act synergistically within the body.
The health benefits of silver have been widely studied for thousands of years, and the effectiveness of its contemporary use for immune support and topical healing applications has been significantly substantiated. While ancient civilizations did not know the chemical and biological mechanisms of how silver metal preserved their drinking water, the modern peer-reviewed literature has elucidated them. We now know, it is the outermost silver atoms of the silver nanoparticle that undergo surface oxidation and, when mixed into a pure water medium, subsequently release bio-active silver ions into the water, which provides the health benefits.
Vitamin C is important for aiding correct growth and development of the body. It is an important nutrient in a number of biological processes such as the synthesis of neurotransmitters in the brain, the production of tyrosine – an amino acid needed for DNA synthesis, and the correct absorption of iron. Select cells of the immune system require a high Vitamin C concentration to help perform their tasks. A higher supply supports immune system parameters.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral important to many functions of human health. It plays a role in maintaining cellular metabolism and gene expression. Zinc is critical to a diverse group of physiological processes, such as immune function, insulin signaling, tissue repair, vision and neuro-transmission. It is second only to iron in worldwide incidence of deficiency, impacting 2 billion people in developing nations. Due to the wide range of functions regulated by zinc, deficiency, or even marginal deficiency, can have serious health implications.
