Natural & Alternative Health Products ShopColds, Flu & Allergy
With age our immune system weakens, leaving us vulnerable to chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, and infectious illnesses. With a strong, healthy immune response, not only are we resistant to the yearly onslaught of colds, flu, allergies and other 'bugs,' but life becomes more enjoyable. We have greater reserves of energy, we sleep better at night, our hair and skin looks more healthy and resilient, and we are more content and happy. The old maxim, "At least, I have my health," rings true.
The average cold lasts for approximately nine days, or for as long as it takes the infected person's immune system to kill enough viruses to stop the symptoms. The stronger your immune system, the faster you recover. Due to the large number of cold viruses - 100 or more - people do not develop immunity to colds as they do to many other viral diseases. Exposure to one strain does not offer protection from others. This simple fact explains why it's been so difficult for researchers to devise a cold vaccine. To date, the best defense is a strong immune system.
Today, alternative medical professionals seek to strengthen immune response and restore the body's ability to fight back by supplementing with natural extracts, unique polypepfides that guard against immune suppression, and specialized formulas that function like natural antibiotics.
Worldwide Health Center offers a number of immune-boosting formulas. We have liquid and encapsulated forms of colostrums, time-honored immune stimulants in formulas containing specialized herbal extracts and medicinal mushrooms, or unique combinations of proteolytic enzymes used clinically to treat inflammatory allergic conditions as well as cancer and cardiovascular disease.
The immune system is the first line of defense in maintaining health, preventing illness and hastening recovery. Research has shown that supplementing the immune system can help us resist some illnesses. We offer several products to help you defend against colds, flus and allergies and that play vital roles in the healthy functioning of the immune system.

Regular use of EpiCor® Jr. can help build immunity and protect children against the viral invaders prevalent in school. EpiCor Jr. directly influences lymphocyte (white blood cells) number and/or activity including T-cells, natural killer cells, and antibody production.

Vitamin C - 100 caps (1000mg)
|
Code: 2011
|
|

Promotes healthy cell development, wound healing and resistance to infections
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is an essential nutrient. Because it is water-soluble and dietary intake varies, regular supplementation is important. As an antioxidant, vitamin C works at the cellular level to reduce the adverse effects of oxidation and premature aging. Since it is involved with the production of collagen and connective tissue, vitamin C helps maintain functional and strong connective tissue, blood vessels and capillaries, as well as healthy skin and gums. |

Ginger Extract - 60 caps
|
Code: 5531
|
|
|
Effective for preventing motion sickness
Ginger, derived from the underground root (tuberous rhizome) of the Zingiber officinale perennial plant, is also referred to as Jamaica ginger, African ginger or Cochin ginger. German health authorities concluded that ginger, at an average daily dose of 2 to 4 grams, is effective for preventing motion sickness and is also useful as a digestive aid. For over 2,500 years ginger has been used in Asian herbal medicine to safely relieve nausea from all causes (especially due to morning sickness), and to stimulate the appetite. Ginger has also been used to treat poor digestion, heartburn, motion sickness, as a tonic to detoxify the body by increasing perspiration, as a carminative (relieves digestive gas), and to alleviate symptoms of colds and flu. |

Forskolin - 120 caps
|
Code: 5881
|
|
|
Benefits weight loss & menstrual cramps
Forskolin is an extract from the plant, Coleus forskohli. Coleus has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for a variety of conditions, including hypertension, asthma, eczema, psoriasis, congestive heart failure, and angina. The effects of forskolin have been intensively researched in in vitro, animal, and human clinical studies. Forskolin acts primarily by activating the enzyme adenylate cyclase, which results in increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in cells. Cyclic AMP belongs to a class of substances known as “second messengers,” and is one of the most important cell-regulating compounds. |

Bromelain - 100 caps
|
Code: 6211
|
|
|
A protein-digestive enzyme & anti-inflammatory agent
Bromelain is the general name for a group of proteolytic enzymes derived from pineapple stems. Through its action on the blood-clotting-related substances fibrinogen and fibrin, bromelain stimulates the production and release of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins (PGs), while simultaneously reducing the production and release of pro-inflammatory PGs. Allergic reactions typically involve an excess release of inflammatory PGs, which contributes to the swelling, redness and itching. |

Immune-boosting effects with energy
Quercetin is a unique bioflavonoid derived from plant sources. In human cell culture studies, quercetin has been shown to inhibit histamine release. Bromelain, an enzyme found in fresh pineapple, supports the body in times of stress. Magnesium ascorbate is a buffered (non-acidic) form of vitamin C that, by delivering functional vitamin C and magnesium, helps strengthen immune response. Studies have also shown quercetin and bromelain help reduce inflammatory response. |

Because it is water-soluble and dietary intake varies, regular supplementation is important. As an antioxidant, vitamin C works at the cellular level to reduce the adverse effects of oxidation and premature aging. Since it is involved with the production of collagen and connective tissue, vitamin C helps maintain functional and strong connective tissue, blood vessels and capillaries, as well as healthy skin and gums. |
