My Awesome Foursome for A Flu-Free Fall

My Awesome Foursome for A Flu-Free Fall 

Fall is just around the corner. And we all know what that means – the season of sniffles, coughs, and flu will be upon us soon. It seems that as soon as the leaves start to turn, the cold and flu bugs begin their annual invasion, spreading rapidly through schools, homes, and offices. And this season there is even talk of Monkey Pox, West Nile Virus and Dengue Fever. YIKES!

But here’s the good news: taking preventive measures now can help you and your family stay healthy and strong!

It’s all about playing offense. By boosting your immune system early, you’ll be better equipped to ward off ALL unwelcome bugs. If you will stock your medicine cabinet with just a few key preventive products, you can avoid endless doctor visits and prescriptions.

My Four Must-Have Essentials to Ward Off Colds and Flu

These are my top four picks to keep your household strong and healthy throughout the cold and flu season.

1. UNI KEY’s Daily Immune Support – Since immunity is EVERYTHING, one of the best ways to stay ahead of the game is with a rock solid immune system. UNI KEY’s Immune Formula is my go-to recommendation. This powerful blend includes organ glandulars like thymus and spleen, plant extracts like anti-viral quercetin, and the herbal longevity super star astragalus that work together to fortify your body’s natural defenses. With these targeted ingredients, you’ll give your immune system the support it needs to fend off viral infections before they take hold.

2. Load Up on Vitamin C – Vitamin C is a powerhouse when it comes to supporting your immune system. Our bodies can’t produce vitamin C, and it’s tough to get enough from food alone, so supplementing is crucial—especially during cold and flu season.

While there are many good Vitamin C products on the market, I recommend UNI KEY’s Vitality C because it offers a highly absorbable, non-acidic formula that’s gentle on your stomach. Since Vitamin C is water-soluble, it leaves your system within hours, so taking it throughout the day is important. For general immune support, I now suggest at least 4000 milligrams daily, but during times of acute illness, you can safely increase that to 12,000 milligrams. Vitality C makes this easy, with 4000 milligrams (4 grams) of Vitamin C per teaspoon, and its unique GMS Ribose Complex ensures you get all the benefits without the usual stomach upset or digestive issues associated with high doses of certain other forms of Vitamin C.

3. Vi-Be-Gone for Immune Support – Another must-have in your cold and flu prevention arsenal is Vi-Be-Gone by Herb Pharmacy. One of the main ingredients is Lomatium, an herb used by Native Americans during the 1918 flu epidemic. Lomatium has a long history of use in treating respiratory illnesses and is known for its antiviral, antibacterial, and antiseptic properties. It’s a natural way to give your immune system the boost it needs. It’s available at most health food stores, and I’ve also made it available for you on my Fullscript Link!

4. Elderberry Extract – Elderberry extract is a powerhouse when it comes to fighting off the flu. Rich in antioxidants, elderberry contains compounds that ‘coat’ viruses, preventing them from invading and infecting healthy cells. It’s been shown to be effective against more than 10 strains of the influenza virus, making it a great choice for staying healthy during the sick season. If you do catch the flu, elderberry can also help reduce symptoms and speed up recovery. I recommend taking 2 tsp. of liquid black elderberry extract twice daily throughout the fall and winter. I’ve made this product available on my Fullscript.

Early Prevention is Key

The earlier you start supporting your immune system, the better your chances of avoiding the misery of cold and flu season. By incorporating these natural solutions into your daily routine now, you’ll be taking proactive steps to keep your family healthy and happy. Remember, a little prevention now can save you a lot of pain down the road. Stay well!
