Stop colds and flu!

Betaglucan Forte Betaglucan Junior

Narava je modra.

Help remove the causes of colds and flu, don’t just relieve the symptoms!

Whether we are at home, at work, in school, in kindergarten, on a bus, on a train or in a hospital, we are constantly exposed to germs that cause colds, flu and other infections. Wherever we happen to be, our immune system is always the body’s first defence against colds, flu and bacteria.

Are you all too familiar with these autumn and winter days, when you feel tired, weak, lacking energy and hardly able to get out of bed? Then you come home from work or school exhausted and longing to lie down and rest for a while. But you can’t because there’s still so much to do: you have to tend to your home, kids, friends, shopping and studies.

Such a feeling already indicates the first signs of a viral infection and the body is signalling that its immune system is weakened. If we fail to take immediate action, in a day or two we already feel an itchy throat, we start sneezing, have a stuffy nose, sore muscles, a headache. A cold or even flu is here, once again.

Due to the fast pace of life, we often have no time to treat a cold properly. That’s why it usually lasts for days or even weeks. At this point, our immune system is already considerably strained.

But when the strain is too great, more serious conditions develop: ear infection (most common in children), sinusitis (inflammation of the paranasal sinuses) or even bacterial infection of the lower respiratory tract such as pneumonia, which is the commonest as well as the most dangerous form. We must then go to the doctor for antibiotics. We have to rest and we can’t go to work or school.

How can we successfully fight against such annoying intruders as cold and flu?

Listen to your body and help the immune system rapidly eliminate pathogens (viruses and bacteria) from your body and protect it. Take Betaglucan Forte and Betaglucan Junior and avoid colds and their more serious complications!

What do Betaglucan Forte and Betaglucan Junior contain and how do they work?

Betaglucan Forte and Betaglucan Junior contain WGP® beta-glucan, a natural polysaccharide extracted from yeast cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. WGP® beta-glucan works by helping the body to activate the immune system and increase its efficiency.

The site of action of WGP® beta-glucan is Peyer’s patches. These are specialized areas of the immune system in the small intestine. There, WGP® beta-glucan activates specific immune cells, thereby increasing the ability and number of immune cells that attack and eliminate foreign substances (viruses and bacteria).
