I’m here to spill the tea (or should I say herbal infusion?) because you deserve to stay vibrant, not viral.
When Viruses Try to Ruin Your Day
Viruses are like uninvited guests who show up, make a mess, and overstay their welcome. Colds, flu, you name it—they love to derail your plans. But what if I told you there’s a natural way to show those pesky bugs the door? Say hello to Quercefit®, the hero of our ViraGuard Immune Support, and a game-changer in the fight against viruses.
Why Quercefit® Is the VIP of Quercetin
Quercetin is already a rockstar—a plant-based flavonoid hiding in apples, onions, and berries—but we’ve taken it to the next level with Quercefit®, a trademarked gem from Indena S.p.A., Italy. Here’s why Quercefit® is your immune system’s new best mate:
- Kicks viruses to the curb: Quercefit® inhibits the replication of several cold viruses, slashing the frequency of sniffles and sneezes. It’s like putting a “no entry” sign on your cells.
- Tames the chaos: It reduces free radical generation and adverse reactions, protecting your body from the havoc viruses wreak.
- Soothes inflammation and allergies: With antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic powers, Quercefit® keeps your immune system chill, so you’re not feeling like a sneezy, puffy mess.
- Shields your tissues: It minimises acute and chronic tissue damage, keeping you strong even when viruses try to bring you down.
In ViraGuard, Quercefit® is the star of the show, delivering quercetin’s antiviral magic in a way that’s easy for your body to absorb. It’s like giving your immune system a superhero cape!
The All-Star Lineup in ViraGuard
Quercefit® doesn’t fly solo—it’s backed by a dream team of immune-boosting ingredients in ViraGuard. Here’s the rundown on the squad:
- Vitamin A: This fat-soluble antioxidant is a multitasker, powering up your white blood cells (the body’s virus-zapping warriors) and fortifying the membranes in your respiratory tract. Think of it as a shield for your lungs.
- Vitamin C: The classic immune booster, vitamin C supports collagen production, reduces free radicals, and fights off viral infections like a champ. It’s your body’s repair crew, keeping you energised.
- Vitamin D: Dubbed the “sunshine vitamin,” vitamin D is a heavy hitter for immune function, reducing symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections. It’s like a sunny day for your health.
- Selenium: This trace mineral supports thyroid health and ramps up immune activity. It’s the unsung hero that quietly gets the job done.
- Zinc: A must-have for immune health, zinc helps your body churn out infection-fighting cells and speeds up cold recovery. It’s the pep talk your immune system needs.
- Ginger: This fiery root has been soothing colds, fevers, and dodgy stomachs for centuries. It’s like a warm hug for your insides.
- Ivy Leaf: Used since Roman times (talk about staying power!), ivy leaf relieves wet and dry coughs and lowers fevers. It’s nature’s answer to a nagging cough.
Together, these ingredients make ViraGuard a powerhouse. Want to meet the full team? Check out ViraGuard Immune Support.
Science Backs the Hype
You’re probably thinking, “This sounds fab, but where’s the evidence?” I got you! Research shows that quercetin, especially in a bioavailable form like Quercefit®, can block the replication of viruses like rhinovirus (the cold culprit) and some flu strains. A 2020 study in Nutrients highlighted quercetin’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers for immune support during viral infections. Zinc’s no slouch either—a 2013 Cochrane Review found it can shorten colds when taken early. Add in the proven benefits of vitamins A, C, D, selenium, ginger, and ivy leaf, and ViraGuard’s got science and tradition in its corner.
