If You Can't Avoid a Cold or Flu, Let Cold & Flu Shoc
Help You Quickly Send it Packing!*

Cold & Flu Shoc A scientific breakthrough in nutrition, the science behind new Cold & Flu Shoc Natural ImmunoStimulator is supported by years of research based on clinically proven ingredients that work to help increase the body's natural defense system NKCs (Natural Killer Cells) which defend the human body from Cold and Flu.* Immune System- Our Human Lifeline The body’s immune system automatically fights off illness everyday to keep you healthy. However, our bodies are under daily attack by a various sources, including environmental viruses. The clinically tested, natural ingredients in Cold & Flu Shoc help provide maximum immune support for your good health.* Cold & Flu Shoc- Boosts Defense Mechanism Cold & Flu Shoc is the first immune response formula that acts to boost the body's natural defense mechanism to help shorten recovery time from Colds and Flu. When taken at the first sign of symptoms, Cold & Flu Shoc can help increase resistances, before a Cold or Flu can take hold.* Cold and the Flu? Many often confuse the common Cold and Flu (short for Influenza), calling a bad Cold the Flu, or vice versa. While both a Cold and Flu are caused by viruses, are most likely to occur during the winter months, and are among the most common infections of the respiratory system, there are some key differences between them.
Powerful Ingredients for Natural Immune Support* Only Cold & Flu Shoc combines the power of NatraMune™ Natural Mushroom Extract with Astragalus, Echinacea, Vitamin C and Zinc for unsurpassed immune defense.* Natramune Mushroom Extract Similar to penicillin, which is derived from mold, Natramune's immune defense stems from the fungi of medicinal mushrooms that act to stimulate the human body's natural immune response by increasing the number of NKCs (Natural Killer Cells) strengthening the body's natural immune defense mechanism for improved recovery and good health.*² In fact, a 2003 clinical trial of Nutramune found, "Post treatment results demonstrated a clinically and statistically significant increase of 17.08%. As shown, natural killer cell cytotoxicity increased nearly threefold from a mean of 10.01% (range 5.5% to 18.7% at baseline) to 27.2% (range 13.0% to 45.3% post treatment). p < 0.05. NK Cell cytotoxicity (NKCC) increased in all 5 study participants. There were no reported adverse effects."
Astragalus Used since ancient times in traditional Chinese Medicine, Astragalus supports T-cell (T-lymphocytes) function in white blood cells, promotes antibody formation and stimulates lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAKC) while working as an antioxidant and immunostimulant for optimum immune health. Astragalus root stimulates the immune system by increasing the number of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue, encourages their development into active immune cells, triggers immune cells from a "resting" state into heightened activity, enhances the body’s production of immunoglobulin and stimulates macrophages to help activate T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells.³ Echinacea* Boosts the body's immune system by stimulating the production of infection-fighting T-cells (T-lymphocytes) in white blood cells while its constituents, echinacein and echinoacoside, work to defend cells from bacteria to help lessen the severity of symptoms following onset. A 2003 study of Echinacea to reduce both the severity and duration of Cold and Flu concluded, "The current data are intriguing and consistent with a growing body of literature supporting the effectiveness of Echinacea for shortening the duration and intensity of cold and flu symptoms."*⁴
Vitamin C The most popular nutrient for immune support, Vitamin C provides powerful antioxidants essential for defending against the ravages of free radicals while supporting the production of white blood cells responsible for battling foreign bacteria. Numerous clinical trials have been performed on Vitamin C, noting its benefiscial uses for a host of health applications – including healthy immune support, with a 2003 trial suggesting that Vitamin C modulates the immune system by inhibiting FAS-induced monocyte death..⁵ Zinc* A naturally occurring mineral that has been clinically shown to increase immune support and improve recovery following the onset of symptoms.* In fact, a 2000 study found, "Compared with the placebo group, the zinc group had shorter mean overall duration of cold symptoms (4.5 vs. 8.1 days)" – or a 44% reduction in sick days.*⁶
