What should I do to keep away any viruses this winter?

There is a great deal of research backing the use of Echinacea to support the immune system and avoid respiratory tract infections. Our Echinaforce tincture is made from fresh Echinacea which is known to be more effective than dried extracts so this is a really good option if you want to see these effects for yourself.

It would also be useful to ensure you have a good, steady intake of vitamin C throughout the winter months, as this also supports the immune system.

Other nutrients that can be supportive are vitamin D (your doctor can check your blood levels to see if you are deficient), and zinc. Green, leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds, eggs and dark red/ purple-skinned fruit and veg are excellent sources of the nutrients that will help you to a healthy winter.
