Cold and Flu Defense: In any given day, you are exposing yourself to a multitude of
pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungus as you interface
with other people in the workplace, at school, through public
transportation, and even with other family members.
This is simply a natural part of living in the world, to which
a healthy body can easily adjust and compensate. When however,
inadequate sleep or the stress of everyday life causes your immune
system to breakdown, the most sensible place to look for assistance,
is to nature itself.
Your Body's Natural Healing Process
Garden of Life, recognizes that an occasional cold or flu is
your body's natural cleansing and detoxifying response to bacterial
and viral invasions. We understand, that rather than slowing down
this very natural process - that instead, the best "defense" is
to provide your immune system with the most powerful botanical
concentrates that nature has to offer. This allows you to rebalance,
regenerate and super strengthen natural immune functions so your
own body can heal itself, as it is designed to do.
A normal human body has billions of beneficial bacteria needed
to ensure proper metabolic functioning. Conventional antibiotic
treatments, are "non-selective" in their destruction of bacteria,
indiscriminately destroying everything. This can create many new
problems, including yeast and other fungal infections, as well
as constipation and digestive disorders. In addition, bacterial
strains can often mutate, thus becoming more virulent and antibiotic
resistant.
Whole Food Nutrition
In honoring your natural response process, Cold & Flu Defense
delivers the most potent, immune boosting ingredients that nature
has to offer. We have specifically chosen clinically proven and
time honored herbs, roots and bark for their anti-bacterial, anti-viral
and anti-fungal properties. When these properties are naturally
occurring in whole food concentrates, they selectively neutralize
the invading pathogens, without automatically destroying the beneficial
bacteria that maintain a healthy internal environment. Your body
recognizes these as tonic foods, easily assimilating what it needs
to restore balance, and excreting what it doesn't. This natural
process is called "selective absorption".
All In One Formula
The unique herbal, root and bark concentrates in Cold & Flu
Defense, contain within them powerful immune building compounds
which have the ability to not only neutralize pathogens, but equally
as important, to boost immune functions.
This is the first time a natural formula has combined therapeutic
amounts of anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal ingredients
all together in one formulation, targeting its beneficial healing
properties directly at the source - your immune system.
Ancient Wisdom - Fermentation The ancient Greeks
understood that important chemical changes took place during fermentation.Their
name for this change was "alchemy".
The whole food ingredients in Cold & Flu Defense, are lacto-fermented
and enzymatically pre-digested, utilizing a proprietary natural
process called Poten-Zyme (Potentiation by Enzymatic activation).
This ancient method of bio- fermentation incorporates 14 strains
of beneficial micro-organisms and their enzymes into the foods,
gently breaking them down into their most basic elements.
Fermentation creates and liberates valuable medicinal compounds
within the foods including enzymes, antioxidants, beta glucans,
phytosterols, and other phytonutrients - greatly enhancing the
nutritional value while making it easier to digest. This assures
more complete absorption and delivery of nutrients at the cellular
level.

Note: Because we believe that in
an weakened condition such as during colds or flu, your body needs
a potent jumpstart - it is important that you saturate your system
for a full 7day period to ensure adequate healing time, and to
regenerate and strengthen system-wide immune response. To that
end, we suggest 3 caplets 3x per day on an empty stomach for maximum
absorption. More sensitive indivivduals however, may need to take
Cold & Flu Defense with their meals.
