Suffice it to say, you would have a really hard time getting on with life with a compromised immune system. More importantly, your everyday life and/or workout performance would be hindered or nonexistent. And as the saying goes, the best offense is a good defense.
That’s why it is of critical importance to always focus on boosting your immune function with a focused Immune Support formula. And that’s exactly what we had in mind when we created OUR Immune Support system.
By strengthening your immune function, you defend your body from illness, weakness and lackluster recoveries. You need to be hitting on all cylinders ALL the time if you want to excel in your activity of choice.
This is where our Immune Support can turn the tables in your favor and keep you fit and strong on the inside as well as the outside. And it all revolves around our star-studded blend of ingredients.
Have you ever heard the term, “Your stomach is your second brain?” That’s where another phrase known as “gut instinct” originated from. Simply put, your gut is not stupid. It needs to be fed properly with the right balance of prebiotics and probiotics.
When your gut health is up to par, your immune system is working in high gear and the rest of your body’s systems are in good shape. That’s where lactobacillus comes to play.
In long form, lactobacillus acidophilus is the most common type of probiotic strain that helps boost your immune system. It can also help lactose-intolerant folks digest dairy products better and aid the digestive process as a whole. You don’t have to look hard to find probiotic supplements as their popularity continues to grow every day.
When consumed on its own or in combination with prebiotics, L. acidophilus may help lower cholesterol. When consumed with other probiotics, it may help prevent and treat diarrhea.
Due to its ability to produce lactic acid and interact with your immune system, it may help prevent and treat symptoms of various diseases. If you want to get a bit more of a hit of L. acidophilus, eat fermented foods like sauerkraut, yogurt, kefir, kimchi, tempeh, miso and natto.
The flowering group of plants known as echinacea, ranks high on the list of powerful antioxidants. The powder associated with echinacea does a fantastic job of boosting the immune system and fighting off infections.
In addition, echinacea works well to decrease inflammation and lower blood sugar levels. If you have less inflammation and your blood sugar levels are stable, you will be able to outperform competition and crush all of your training sessions.
This extract is particularly noteworthy for shortening the duration of cold and flu-like symptoms. When combined with other herbs, the effects of this powder are greatly enhanced. In layman’s terms, this means two plus two equals five instead of four–a process referred to as a synergistic effect.
If you have made any recent trips to a health food store, you can easily find elderberry extract in liquid form. It’s dark and syrupy, and kind of resembles molasses. Our formula uses the most common type of this medicinal plant known as Sambucus nigra.
This is found in Europe but is widely used around the world to treat and prevent the common cold and flu. The immune boosting characteristics of elderberry mainly come from it being abundantly rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. So you get a secondary dose of vitamin C with our formula that can pay big dividends when it comes to optimizing your health.
It should also be noted that elderberries contain anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants that give berries their red, blue, purple or black coloring. You’ve probably been told to get as many bright, colorful foods in your diet as possible. Well, here is a good example of why.
And when you work out regularly, the last thing you want is to be sidelined with a cold or flu. The anthocyanins from elderberry extract greatly reduce the risk of this unfortunate circumstance. And when taken within 48 hours of initial symptoms, elderberry supplements have been known to reduce the length and severity of fevers, headaches, congestion and runny noses associated with colds and flus.
By itself, zinc has gained a lot of popularity over the years for its ability to reduce inflammation and cut down on the risk of the common cold. That’s why people tend to fancy it during the frigid and dreary winter months.
In food form, this mineral can be found and obtained in pumpkin seeds, oysters, cashews and legumes. But, you would have to eat a good amount of these to get the associated benefits. Our formula has well over 100% of the daily allowance of zinc, which ensures that you get the best effect possible.
Aside from it being good for the immune system, zinc also promotes collagen production, which then strengthens the bones and expedities the healing process in the event you should ever suffer a break. This is especially important when it comes to exercise that involves impact like running, basketball and football.
Originating in India, turmeric contains curcumin, which belongs to a group of compounds known as curcuminoids. Curcumin is an exceptionally powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that has been used to help treat a variety of muscle and joint conditions, such as arthritis.
Additionally, turmeric boosts a protein substrate in the body known as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF for short. It is this hormone that’s responsible for brain cognition, acuity, mood and memory. Because of its benefits in this area, it has shown improvements in the pathological process of Alzheimer’s disease.
Because of its critical acclaim and notable popularity, you are likely very familiar with vitamin C. And this substance marks the cornerstone of our compound. Known scientifically as Ascorbic Acid, vitamin C brings with it an impressive resume. Among the most notable benefits is its ability to boost the immune system.
When it comes to workout performance, vitamin C counteracts oxidative stress, reducing the chances of muscle damage, immune dysfunction and fatigue. We spared no expense when fabricating this formula by including 200% of your daily allowance in each serving.
But the good news doesn’t stop there. Research states that vitamin C is essential for the growth and repair of bodily tissue, assisting with wound healing, and maintaining healthy bones, hair, skin, nails and cartilage. Lastly, it has shown great promise in the prevention of certain types of cancer, heart disease and even aging.
When it comes to vitamin E, there are two things you should keep in mind. One, it is fat soluble, which means it gets stored in the fat cells of the body. Think of this as having a bit of a longer “shelf life” so to speak.
Secondly, much like vitamin C, it is a powerful antioxidant. In the case of this vitamin though, it is particularly good at absorbing free radicals, which are rogue cells that clump together to cause disease, inflammation and a host of other problems in the body.
Overall, vitamin E helps ward off bacteria and infections that are often the result of breathing in toxins from secondhand smoke or polluted air, or being exposed to an excessive amount of ultraviolet light from the sun.
Our product has over 130% of the daily recommended value of vitamin E.
Also known as pyridoxine, vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that brings with it an impressive amount of benefits. First and foremost, a deficiency in this vitamin can cause a major hit to your immune system, opening you up for infections and ailments. But when consumed in adequate doses, B6 has been known to prevent heart disease and lower the risk of cardiovascular death.
As for workout performance, the smoking gun with B6 revolves around its ability to break down macronutrients for energy. Additionally, it has a profound effect on the nervous system of the body. When nerve cells fire on all cylinders, this directly relates to a clearer mind, which enables you to go harder and for a longer duration.
This non-essential amino acid plays an important role in immune function and it all centers around white blood cells. Think of these as the powerhouses that fight infections and prevent a myriad of diseases in the body.
Glutamine is the substance responsible for producing these white blood cells. And when you suffer an injury or become ill, the immune cells lose their strength. Fast forward to L-glutamine and you have the magic bullet for reversing this process, which will Improve recovery times and get your immunity back up to par.
If you are looking to add more natural glutamine to your body, you can find it in foods like dairy products, beans, animal protein and tofu.
By itself, garlic is in the Allium family and it’s high in prebiotics, which assist probiotics in boosting gut health. The powder from garlic is condensed and made into supplements, which has a profound effect on the body.
One of the main benefits associated with garlic powder is its ability to boost immunity. To expand on this, it supports the heart and cardiovascular system and may help maintain healthy cholesterol and glucose levels when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet. If you add daily exercise to the mix, the effect is even greater.
Here is a more extensive list of benefits that can be obtained from garlic powder:

Cinnamon has been used as an ingredient throughout history, dating as far back as Ancient Egypt where it was rare and valuable, and regarded as a gift fit for kings. Known scientifically as cinnamomum, cinnamon is made by cutting the the stems of the trees and extracting the inner bark.
The distinct smell and flavor of cinnamon are due to the oily part, which is very high in the compound cinnamaldehyde. Scientists believe it is this compound that’s responsible for most of cinnamon’s powerful effects on health and metabolism.
Additional antioxidants in cinnamon have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help lower the risk for heart disease, elevated cholesterol levels and triglycerides. These powerful compounds have also been known to lower blood pressure and show a significant increase in insulin sensitivity.
But perhaps the smoking gun behind cinnamon is its ability to reduce fasting blood sugar levels, having a potent anti-diabetic effect at 1–6 grams or .5–2 teaspoons per day.
When it comes to exercise, most people don’t usually associate cinnamon with improving performance. But if you knew all the health benefits that it offers, you might change your mind. In most cases, an active lifestyle can bring on pain, inflammation and soreness. The anti-inflammatory properties that cinnamon possesses helps reduce these hallmark symptoms of hard training.
As an added bonus, it could help blood circulate better through the body by having a “thinning” effect, which boosts brain activity and function. Research has shown that this helps improve cognitive ability and visual-motor responses.
Lastly, cinnamon expedites the recovery process from traumatic injuries or stroke, it lowers the fat-storing effect of food and it improves the health of the heart. All of these benefits combine together to make our formula not only good for athletes, but for people of all demographics.
Our Immune Support formula pairs together a really nice blend of antioxidant-rich vitamins with numerous immune-boosting plant extracts to develop an extremely powerful immunity booster.
Not only does this collection of herbs and minerals create a formula capable of fighting off a host of conditions, but it also offers numerous secondary benefits that can quickly raise your health from average to well above in a short amount of time.
