Sambucol 120ml £8.66 Sambucol® is a supplement developed over 20 years by a world renowned virologist – a scientist who is an expert in viruses - to exploit the health-giving properties of the plant. Sambucol® is a unique extract of black elderberry (Sambucus nigra), a fruit whose natural health-boosting properties have been recognised since the dawn of civilisation. Medical science has only recently discovered the likely basis for the elderberry’s health-giving reputation. Studies have shown that elderberries are unusually rich in the phytochemicals known as flavonoids. and among all fruits, elderberries are the most concentrated source of anthocyanins, a class of flavonoids that act as powerful antioxidants to boost the immune system and protect the body’s cells from harm. These anthocyanins are found in the purple pigment of black elderberries, and according to Dr. Gerhard Rechkemmer, president of Germany’s Federal Research Institute for Nutrition and Food, they have significantly greater antioxidant capacity than common antioxidants such as Vitamin C. In fact, Dr. Rechkemmer’s research has shown that the anthocyanins in black elderberry actually boost the production of cytokines, the proteins that act as messengers within our immune system, and thereby serve to enhance the body’s immune response.   Olive Leaf Extract - Ameriden 500mg caps x 60 £24.99 The Original Olive Leaf Extract is a natural antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral extract produced from the leaves of olive tree, Olea europaea species, specifically the Manzanillo and Mission varieties.The Original Olive Leaf Extract® provides you with the most efficacious and untarnished olive leaf extract anywhere on earth.

This unique compound stimulates the innate immune system to help the body defend itself against viral and bacterial invaders. What is Beta 1,3 1,6 Glucan? Beta Glucan is a scientifically-proven biological defence modifier (BDM) that potentiates the immune response through macrophage and dendritic immune cells to safely yield various therapeutic effects. For many years glucans have been investigated for these immune enhancing properties, particularly their ability to activate macrophage immune cells and, in turn, the T-cells, NK cells and B cells including selected cytokines and complement. Beta 1,3 1,6 Glucan is a natural substance derived from the cell wall of baker’s yeast. It is a pure extraction and does not contain enough yeast protein to cause any allergic reactions. Cells involved in the immune response originate from stem cells originating from bone marrow. New cells from bone marrow are produced on an ongoing basis throughout the life cycle. However, the formation and migration of newly formed white immune cells that can promote or produce antibodies is limited and declines with ageing. Beta glucan nutritionally stimulates the production of needed precursor cells in bone marrow, yielding an increased flow of immunocytes into the blood stream and the various lymphoid organs. Beta glucan non-specifically activates the immune system, primarily by ingestion by the macrophage immune cells through specific and unique beta glucan receptors on the cell surface. Beta 1,3 1,6 Glucan potentiates and activates various cells of the body, particularly macrophage cells to release tumour necrosis factor, interleukins 1 and 6, hydrogen peroxide and gamma interferon, all of which fight against invading micro organisms. Beta glucan potentiation of the immune response is systemic, activating the immune system throughout the whole body. The efficacy of beta glucan is widely researched and studied. Please ask us for more details of the literature available, or see www.betaglucan.org for details of all the studies that have been done with beta 1,3 1,6 glucan.
