For the relief of cold and flu symptoms and of upper respiratory tract infection.
The familiar symptoms of head and body aches, sinus and chest congestion, coughing and sneezing are all indications that a cold or flu virus has significantly multiplied and your body is working to expel it and destroy affected cells. Over-the-counter drugs are effective at suppressing only some of the symptoms, and often have negative side effects. A better option is to choose natural health products that stimulate the immune system to kill the virus before full-blown symptoms develop.
Cold & Flu Rescue is a unique combination of four powerful ingredients, Ester-C®, andrographis, NAC, and echinacea, each of them proven in human research to lessen the severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms.
Product Information
- Ester-C® is a unique, non-acidic and easier to digest form of vitamin C clinically proven to last up to 24 hours in the white blood cells of the immune system
- NAC (N-acetyl-L-cysteine) protects lungs against respiratory infection and reduces phlegm and symptoms of chronic bronchitis
- The natural sulphur content of NAC is what gives the product its distinctive odour
- Andrographis is an anti-inflammatory herb that stimulates the immune system and helps against cold and flu symptoms including sore throat
- High-potency echinacea extract is a powerful immune stimulant and is most effective when taken at the onset of infection
