A runny nose, puffy eyes, sore throat, tiredness and a fever. Sound familiar? It’s the common cold, and most of us will experience the discomfort of one or two of them each year. We’re constantly exposed to the viruses that can cause colds or influenza, yet why do some people suffer more frequently than others? | |
| "Keeping our body’s internal army (the immune system) strong, prepared and healthy is vital for fighting off the common cold and flu viruses that surround us." | ||

NZ Health Naturally’s Viral Guard contains two of the most popular immune enhancing herbs, Astragalus and Olive Leaf, both which have anti viral, nutritive anti bacterial and immune stimulatory effects (5) Clinical studies have shown Astragalus to be effective when used as a preventative measure against the common cold. It has also been shown to reduce the duration and severity of the common cold. (2 Colostrum is a great immune supplement for the whole family, as it can be used to maintain general health year round, or during periods where the body needs assistance in waging war on common viruses such as the cold or flu. (colostrum article). Similarly, New Zealanders know instinctively that Manuka Honey is both soothing and beneficial to take if a cold or flu has decided to set up camp for a while, and now science has proved why (umf link). That’s why we’ve made the exclusive Manuka and Ginger Honey as not only does it provide the antibacterial properties of Manuka, but with the inclusion of ginger, it is the ultimate soother for that nasty sore throat that so often accompanies a cold or flu.
