Having a healthy immune system year-round is a goal for many. Unfortunately, this isn’t always possible and the chances of you being exposed to ills and chills are likely, especially during winter. 

When invading bugs enter your system, your immune system will develop proteins called antibodies that work to fight off the specific invader. White blood cells as well as antibodies are responsible for protecting your body. Whilst your body is equipped with powerful natural defences to help your immune system in dealing with threats, extra support with herbs and vitamins can play a key role in supporting your health year-round. 

Many factors can affect your immune system including seasonal changes, stress, poor diet, lack of movement, as well as lack of sleep. 

Common symptoms of a weakened immune system include frequent ills and chills, fatigue, heightened stress levels, wounds that are slow to heal and digestive issues. Luckily, supporting a healthy immune system is made possible with lifestyle and dietary changes, as well as key herbs and nutrients.
