Immune Health Support

Our immune system works hard every day to help protect us from bacteria, viruses and other environmental challenges. While we often think more about immunity during winter, supporting immune health is important all year round.

Many factors can influence how well our immune system functions, including sleep, stress levels, physical activity, nutrition and overall wellbeing. During colder months we also tend to spend more time indoors and in closer contact with others, which can increase our exposure to common seasonal illnesses.

Everyday habits that support immunity

A healthy immune system starts with the basics. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins helps provide the vitamins and minerals your body needs to function at its best. Regular physical activity, good quality sleep and managing stress are also important factors that contribute to overall health and wellbeing.

Staying hydrated and avoiding smoking can further support your body's natural defences. While no supplement can prevent illness, nutritional support may help fill dietary gaps and assist in maintaining normal immune function.

Key nutrients for immune health

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a well known nutrient that supports normal immune system function and acts as an antioxidant, helping to protect cells from oxidative stress.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D plays an important role in supporting immune function. During winter, when sunlight exposure may be reduced, some people may not achieve optimal vitamin D levels through sunlight alone.

Elderberry, Olive Leaf and Echinacea

Herbal ingredients such as elderberry, olive leaf extract and echinacea have traditionally been used in immune support formulas. These ingredients are often combined with vitamins and minerals to provide comprehensive daily immune support.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in many processes throughout the body, including supporting healthy immune system function.

Protect yourself this winter with Buccaline

Buccaline is an anti bacterial oral vaccine in tablet form. It is only available from pharmacies following a consultation with your pharmacist.

Viral and influenza-like illnesses are frequently made worse by additional bacterial infections which delay recovery. Sore throats, runny nose, sneezing and coughing are symptoms of upper respiratory system illness which are often caused by bacterial infections.

How does Buccaline work?
A three day course of Buccaline can help the body build up to 3 months of immunity towards the bugs which cause bacterial cold symptoms. Buccaline tablets contain tiny, inactivated amounts of the bacteria which can cause these complications associated with colds and flu.

After Buccaline dissolves in the intestine the bacterial antigens contained in it are engulfed by macrophages within the intestinal wall which pass them on to endothelial tissue where they stimulate the immune system to give added protection to the body against winter illnesses.

Who can take Buccaline
A course of Buccaline tablets offers cost-effective and safe protection from colds and chills for :

At risk patients – Elderly, Bronchitis and Asthma suffers

Individuals who are receiving the flu injection and want additional protection

Young children through to adults
