For daily immunity

Customer Testimonials
 
happy“I used For daily immunity and found it very helpful and now I recommend it to customers in the pharmacy where I work. It gave me more energy, more of a glow and helped my skin which became cleaner and healthier than before. I think it’s a great product for anyone feeling low or on the verge of a cold” - Zena, Bell Chemist, Hitchin, Hertfordshire
 
“I have been using For daily immunity for the last 3 months and I think it is a wonderful product. It has really helped with bloating after eating which other products I had tried before had failed” – Jemma, Waterford, Ireland
 
“This year I took For daily immunity every day during the winter months, and can honestly say that I have not had a cold since I started on it! Quite the accomplishment when you consider that I live in a house with 5 other students who are constantly struggling with their immune systems.  Next winter they’re all going to be taking advice from “Dr Anj” – I’ll be prescribing my favourite remedies for everyone – enough sleep, more water, and For daily immunity.” – Anjum, London
 
Recent research on probiotics and immunity
 
Grape Seed Extract can destroy leukaemia cells - January 2009 - Scientists at the University of Kentucky found that within 24 hours of exposure to Grape Seed Extract, 76% of leukaemia cells died through apoptosis, a natural process of self-destruction.  This research could potentially provide new areas of treatment for leukaemia, a disease that affects over 24,000 people each year.  Grape Seed Extract, previously shown to reduce the size of breast tumours in rats and skin tumours in mice, contains numerous antioxidants including resveratrol – a component known for its anti-cancerous properties.  Head researcher, Professor Xianglin Shi added, “What everyone seeks is an agent that has an effect on cancer cells but leaves normal cells alone, and this shows that grapeseed extract fits into this category.”

Green Tea good for the heart – July 2008 - A small Greek study found that habitual consumption of green tea could ameliorate the function of the endothelial cells (the cells lining the walls of blood vessels), therefore boosting cardiovascular health.  The study indicated the possible role of green tea polyphenols, which have previously been linked to protection against some cancers and Alzheimer’s disease. 

Combination of Probiotics & prebiotics improve anti-oxidative activity - January 2008 - A blend of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium probiotics with the prebiotic oligofructose was linked to a reduction in the oxidation of LDL, associated with hardening of the arteries.  This EU and MicroFunction Project concluded that the overall antioxidant activity of the participants taking synbiotic supplements was higher than the antioxidant activity of placebo subjects.
