Seasonal Wellness & Immune Boosters for the Family

We live a fast-paced modern lifestyle where all too often we neglect our health and well-being by not aligning with the correct nutritional support needed to keep our immune systems healthy and functioning, increasing our risk of infections, diseases, and aging. Together with seasonal changes and incremental doses of daily stress we further compromise our immune system, metabolism, mood, allergies, weight, and overall health before we even leave our front door to start our day.

Stress reduces your ability to fight viral infections and cancer by up to 50% and acute stress increases the number of neutrophils, which are involved in inflammation and tissue damage by up to 300% increasing the risk of developing autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.

Winter lowers our body temperature, reduces our exposure to sunlight, increases our appetite, and decreases our physical activity all of which lead to lower levels of vitamin D, melatonin, and serotonin in our body, increasing our risk of infections such as colds and flu, as well as respiratory problems, like asthma and bronchitis. Similarly, Spring can trigger allergies and hay fever from the high pollen count in the air. While Summer and Autumn can improve our mood, we need to be aware of the risks of dehydration, heat exhaustion, food poisoning, hormonal imbalance, insulin resistance, mood swings, and weight gain or loss.

We can ensure a better future for our health naturally when we support ourselves and our family with the range of immune boosters and vitamin care from NOW Foods® which work from the inside out - where it most counts.

It features a patented formula, ImmunEnhancer™, a prebiotic supplement for the support of healthy intestinal flora, a key component of normal immune function.

Respiratory & Immune Health: Quercetin with Bromelain (R749) is a naturally occurring free radical scavenger that supports a healthy seasonal immune system. This complementary combination promotes year-round respiratory health and supports overall seasonal comfort. Bromelain has a long history of use by herbalists and is known to help balance the immune system’s response to environmental challenges.

Metabolism for Skin Health: Biotin 5000mcg (R199), also called Vitamin B7, is necessary for normal growth and body function. All B vitamins help the body to convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. They help the body metabolize fats and protein. Like all B vitamins, Biotin is water-soluble, which means that the body does not store it. Biotin forms an essential part of B complex vitamins that are needed for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver, and help the nervous system function properly.

Feel Good Stress Relief: Ashwagandha 450mg (R339.00) is an Ayurvedic Adaptogen generally used as an “adaptogen”, helping your body adapt to typical daily stress.

ELDERBERRY HERBAL SUPPORT:

Elderberry has been recognized for its high nutritive value, especially for its potent free radical scavenging vitamins and anthocyanins. It is truly among nature's sweet and healthy surprises. NOW® offers a variety to be enjoyed by the whole family.

Elderberry Lozenges for Adults and Children: As a century’s old tradition, elderberry has been used by herbalists as a tonic to maintain health and well-being.

It features Astragalus, a herbal ingredient, that has been included to support a healthy immune system response to seasonal challenges.

STRUCTURAL & CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH:

Sunshine Vitamin D: Vitamin D is normally obtained from our daily diets and produced by the skin from the ultraviolet energy of the sun; however, as it is not abundant in food and more people avoid sun exposure, Vitamin D supplementation becomes increasingly necessary to ensure your body receives an adequate supply. Why Vitamin D-3? It strengthens the immune and maintains bone health by promoting calcium absorption in the bloodstream which in turn helps maintain strong teeth, bones, and muscle health. NOW Foods® offers a variety of highly absorbable Vitamin D-3 veg caps available in 1000IU 180 soft gels (R219), 2000IU 120 soft gels (R179) and extra strength 5000IU 120 soft gels (R369), as well as a 1000IU 180 chewables (R249).

Bones. Teeth. Heart. Happy: For bone health and cardiovascular support, NOW Foods® Vitamin D-3 +K-2 120 veg caps (329) combines two nutrients extensively researched for their contribution to the health of bones, teeth and the cardiovascular system. While Vitamin D3 promotes calcium transport and absorption in the bloodstream, recent studies indicate that it may also play a role in proper insulin action and glucose metabolism and has an important function within the immune system. With added Vitamin K, the formation of a healthy, strong bone matrix is possibly by amplifying calcium absorption into bones. Vitamin K also offers arterial health with its ability to support proper calcium metabolism in vascular structures. NOW Foods® Vitamin D-3 + MK 7 liquid (R649) is an alternative option with Menaq7 (MK-7) is a unique soy-free, bioavailable form of vitamin K-2 that plays a critical role in arterial health through its ability to support proper calcium metabolism in blood vessels and arteries.
