My fixPick for Immune Support

Heading into winter, I’m sure we are all thinking of one thing – immunity!

Now more so than ever before…

This is why I recommend ION*Gut to my friends and family. ION*Gut contains the active ingredient Terrahydrite.

Terrahydrite helps create an optimal environment in the gut membrane for beneficial bacteria to flourish. Beneficial gut flora will protect your immune system and maintain overall health, a healthy gut is also known to improve mental clarity, support digestion and alleviate sensitivity.

How does it work?

This product triggers natural cellular communication in the gut lining, which is the body’s first line of defence to over 70% of the immune system.

Our gut lining is a barrier protecting our bloodstream from toxic substances and foreign particles, whilst also allowing nutrients to enter. Preserving the integrity of this barrier is fundamental to good health.

This product is backed by science with many clinical trials behind it, another reason this is my ‘Fix Pick’ as we head into the colder, winter months.

My ‘Fix Pick’ of vital supplements heading into the winter months is Lipolife Vitamin D3/K2.

Vitamin D is unique because it can be made in the skin from exposure to sunlight. Unfortunately, with reduced exposure to sunlight in the winter months, our bodies have a reduced opportunity to synthesise this key nutrient. As a result, approximately 1 in 5 people have low vitamin D levels according to national surveys in the UK.

This is a particularly scary fact as low vitamin D levels are associated with a higher risk of poor musculoskeletal health such as rickets, osteomalacia, falls and poor muscle strength.

My Fix Pick delivers vitamin D3 alongside K2 in a liposomal form which helps to ensure far greater absorption of these essential vitamins, directly into your cells.

In short, you get more ‘bang for your buck’ compared to non-liposomal alternatives!

During the winter months it’s common to slip out of healthy habits; from being less active, to craving ‘comfort’ food and having less fresh fruit & veg. 

These factors make nutrients like Vitamin C even more essential at this time of year.

Antioxidants like Vitamin C are vital for everyone and are linked to a number of health benefits. Regular supplementation has been shown to not only fight off colds but also protect your cells from damage by scavenging free radicals within the body, reducing fatigue & increasing iron absorption. When the body is under stress it can dampen the immune system. 

I supplement with Lipolife Liposomal Vitamin C to help reduce the risk of getting ill, especially when travelling and competing, which has significantly improved my immune system function and less sick days = more training! 

Lipolife’s new and delicious Pineapple-C is a great way to boost your immune system this winter and its liposomal form has been proven to be more bioavailable than standard Vitamin C.

That’s why it’s my Fix Pick.
