BioBran Plus & the Recipe to Resist Seasonal Cold and Flu Viruses

As the weather gets colder and we spend more time indoors, our ability to resist autumn and winter illnesses is compromised due to many factors: lack of sunshine, poor ventilation, overeating and central heating drying out our mucous membranes. Add to that the heightened risk of infections such as flu virus and colds between November and February; it makes sense to focus our efforts on strengthening the immune system. And one of the best ways we can do this is by taking the clinically proven nutritional supplement called BioBran Plus.

According to nutritionist Kirsten Brooks from The Really Healthy Company – the company that supplies immune system fortifier BioBran Plus -- we can help boost our own natural resistance to illness before it becomes necessary to take prescribed medication.

Kirsten Brooks recommends:

• Minimise personal and work-related stress, which lowers immune function and depletes nutrients important for health defence, such as zinc and vitamin C.
• Reduce sugar and refined carbohydrates which can significantly reduce the number of white blood cells that our immune systems require in order to destroy foreign particles and micro-organisms.
• Eat healthily, aiming for a rainbow coloured array of fruit and vegetables to boost nutrients including vitamin C, that protect against excess free radical damage which is associated with compromised immunity. Zinc-rich foods such as lean protein, seeds, and whole grains are important for immunity provided by your mucous membranes. Also include plenty of garlic and ginger in your diet for their natural anti-microbial benefits.
• Drink plenty of fluids to ensure your eliminatory systems are able to work optimally. Replace fluid lost during a respiratory infection, prevent dehydration and mucous build up.
• Exercise enough to boost immunity Studies have shown that regular exercise can improve immune system defence significantly: as little as 30 minutes walking five times a week can increase white blood cells and antibody response. But don’t overdo it: excessive intensive exercise can temporarily suppress immunity due to stress hormones produced.
• Sleep well Getting a regular eight hours of sleep and finding time for rest and relaxation replenishes the immune system and improves resistance to infection. Lack of sleep depletes many nutrients especially magnesium.
• Take an immune tonic There are many useful natural immune tonics available however when the body stops responding to other preventatives, such as echinacea which cannot be taken continously, BioBran Plus can be used indefinitely through the winter for continued benefits without any tail-off in effectiveness. BioBran is supported by research and will also quickly knock a cold on the head if taken at its onset.

Whilst high-dose BioBran is used for its immune support by people with severely compromised immune systems, including those undergoing chemotherapy, BioBran Plus was developed to meet demand for a similar but lower dose product to help prevent illness and maintain health. BioBran itself is the subject of much peer-reviewed research and clinical studies to support its efficacy [1], and it works by boosting the activity of T cells, B cell and NK cells of the immune system by up to 300 per cent.

BioBran Plus contains two key compounds: Arabinoxylan and Brewer’s Yeast.

1. Arabinoxylan are complex polysaccharides found in the cell wall of rice bran, broken down with the enzymes from shiitake mushrooms. Studies in the US, Canada and Switzerland have demonstrated its immune modulating function and ability to boost the "Natural Killer" cells which form the body's front line of defence against disease.
2. Brewer's Yeast, rich in plant polysaccharides called beta-glucans, nutrients including B vitamins, amino acids, and such trace minerals as chromium and selenium, strengthen BioBran's effect.

BioBran Plus, priced £19.53 for 90 tablets, is available from selected health food stores and or online at www.healthy.co.uk. A box lasts up to 30 days at a preventative level; from nine a day may be taken if illness strikes. It has no side effects and is suitable for vegetarians.
