Ways to Avoid the Flu

Yup. It’s that time of year again…

Your pharmacy or doctor has probably already tried to push the flu shot on you. Especially if you’re 65 or older. It turns out flu shots were only 9 percent effective last year against the H3N2 virus in adults over 65 years of age. New studies even show seasonal flu shots may actually increase your risk of getting the flu. But there are steps you can take to naturally boost your immune system without the risk of becoming sick—or worse.

Here are the top 4 ways to naturally prevent catching the flu this season:

1. Colostrum: At least 3 times more effective for preventing the flu than the flu vaccine without the side effects. Safe to take all year long to keep you healthy. We have the purest colostrum.

2. Vitamin C: Vitamin C doesn’t just help prevent the flu. This powerful antioxidant makes symptoms go away quicker if you’ve already caught the flu. One study shows that multiple 1,000 mg doses of vitamin C daily can reduce the appearance of flu and cold symptoms by 85 percent. During flu season, you probably want some extra support. So we suggest you supplement. Make sure to look for fat-soluble versions of the vitamin, such as liposomal vitamin C.

3. Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 is a major player in fighting the flu virus. One study shows that a low daily dose cuts flu risk by 42 percent. We have K2 D3 which provides your body with over 10,000 IU of vitamin D.

4. Glutathione: Glutathione is one of the most powerful antioxidants around. It’s an amino acid made naturally in the body. It clears free radicals and toxins from the body. Better yet, glutathione completely protects cells from the flu virus.6 We carry pure glutathione. Take 1 twice per day for best results and can give you energy.

Don’t let the “experts” bully you into getting a flu shot. Their low rates of success put your health at risk. Not to mention the side effects.

Fighting off the symptoms of the flu naturally is quicker, safer, and even cheaper than a flu shot.
