My work as a Kinesiologist has taught me that while supplements are no substitute for good nutrition, they can be beneficial in short bursts. Especially when the body is run down and our immune system is on the front line. Cold and flu viruses are continually mutating into new strains and whenever we come into contact with these superbugs our immune systems need to go into battle against them.
Taking olive leaf extract helps to naturally aid in the management of such infections especially when fever is present. It enhances the body’s efforts to fight invading organisms via two different processes. Firstly the process in which our immune system cells engulf and destroy invading organisms and secondly by interfering with the ability of bacteria and viruses to replicate themselves.
Olive leaf extract has a 400% higher capacity of antioxidants compared to vitamin C so it’s a good choice when your immune system needs some extra support.
