5. Super Family C
Vitamin C is an important nutrient to support healthy tissues in the airways and normal tone. It is also used by the body in the creation of our immune cells and is also a component of these cells. This means vitamin C levels can deplete quickly when we are unwell. It is also the number one vitamin to support our lungs as it is found in the fluids in this area providing antioxidant support.
Super Family C is a great family product to take daily during the winter months:
- Available in capsules or powder to make a delicious drink.
- Has esterified Vitamin C for 24-hour immune support.
- Is a vitamin C form that is gentle on the digestive system.
- Suitable for 4+ years.
- Includes antioxidant support from citrus bioflavonoids and rutin.
" Nice and easy to use form of vitamin C, and good value too. It makes a lovely drink, and I digest it better than pills and capsules.” - Catherine

6. Immune System Support
Our digestive system seems a world away from respiratory health, but strangely research is finding growing connections between the two systems. When the respiratory system detects bugs, it signals the gut via enzymes called lysozymes. These enzymes break up our good bacteria in the gut and the fragments are sent out through the body. They signal that our respiratory system may be under attack and our body responds by mobilising all immune defence in the lungs and respiratory system. A fast response to “nip things in the bud” is all-important for maintaining our respiratory health.
Immune System Support contains lysated probiotics which are the pieces of broken probiotics used to signal the body. They are a non-living probiotic but work in the same way as our natural lysosome system.
Immune System Support is great:
- To use at the first sign of ills and chills to support your immune system.
- Great to take travelling to maintain wellness.
- Are small easy to take capsule.
- Can be taken daily to support wellness.
“ Helps me keep the winter ills and chills away. My go-to at this time of the year” - Graeme H
