Colds, Flu & Viral

Colds and the flu are a part of life that is inescapable but that doesn’t mean that we can’t take preventive steps to protect ourselves from these viruses.  Colds and flu can also be treated effectively with natural remedies if you do contract them and become sick.  Colds and flu are caused by viruses that are found everywhere in our environment.  We can catch them when we shake hands, touch door and shopping cart handles, handle money, use PIN pads in stores or from moisture particles in the air. + Read more >

 The simple practice of washing our hands regularly with soap and water is one of the best forms of prevention but there are also natural colds, flu and immune support supplements to help boost our immune systems to fight off the viruses.  To help prevent the immune system from becoming overwhelmed, especially during the winter months, take colds, flu and immune support supplements regularly as part of your daily routine.  Some of the most effective immune-boosting supplements include Echinacea with Goldenseal, Vitamin C, Astragalus and Colostrum.  Echinacea with Goldenseal is also an effective cold, flu and immune support supplement for lessening symptoms and shortening the course of a cold or flu if you do get sick.  Other supplements that are antiviral and can be used to treat colds and flu include Garlic, Elderberry, and Oil of Oregano.  For relief of a sore throat, zinc lozenges are useful, and Vitamin A and C help to support mucous membranes.  Sometimes an illness caused by a virus can lead to a bacterial infection.  If this happens, colds, flu and immune support supplements such as Oil of Oregano, Garlic and Colloidal Silver can be used.  It is important to remember that even with natural products, any time an antibacterial product is used, you should supplement with a high quality probiotic to replace the beneficial bacteria in your body.  Be prepared and help your immune system fight cold and flu viruses with immune-boosting supplements from Body Energy Club’s online vitamin and supplement shop.Before starting any new supplements it is important to check with your doctor to make sure they are right for you, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking prescription medications.    + Read less >
