Peak Immunity

elderberry

Elderberry is another dark purple fruit that strengthens the beautiful color of Kenyan Purple Tea while supercharging its health benefits.

Elderberry popularity exploded in recent years, and for very good reason. It’s loaded with nutrients and compounds your body needs to maintain a strong, balanced immune system.

But many people don’t realize that elderberry has been considered one of the most potent healers for well over 2,000 years since the days of Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. He called the elderberry tree his “medicine chest” because it has such a profound effect on so many different areas of your health.

The good news is that science now confirms why Hippocrates was so obsessed with Elderberries over 2,000 years ago. They’ve even discovered that elderberries have the highest levels of anthocyanins of ANY food on Earth!

And they’ve shown that elderberry is crucial for maintaining a well-tuned immune system…

• One study showed that elderberry helped get participants back on their feet and feeling great 4 days earlier than those not taking elderberry…¹⁴
• A recent meta-analysis of 4 studies showed that elderberry helped reduce the length and severity of upper respiratory symptoms we’ve all suffered fromat one time or another…¹⁵
• Another study showed that elderberry skyrocketed various “immune defenders” by as much as 450%! ¹⁶

In fact if you search PubMed, one of the world’s leading research communities, you’ll see a whopping 1,450 impressive studies talking about how powerful elderberry is!

ASTRAGALUS

Astragalus is a fascinating plant that’s been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.

Its deep pink and purple hues contain healing compounds so powerful that many hospitals around the world inject it into patients for various conditions. ¹⁷

We added Astragalus because it’s not typically found in everyday food yet it contains health benefits most people over 50 would love to have.

For Example It’s Been Shown To…

• Help your body produce enough white blood cells to fight off foreign invaders so you can live your life without worrying about coming down with something that knocks you off your feet…¹⁸
• Help improve seasonal allergies such as sneezing and a runny nose… ¹⁹
• Help reduce fatigue so you can feel light and energetic even through the cold and gray winter months… ²⁰

vitamin c

Most people know how important Vitamin C is to immunity. However most people don’t truly understand HOW important it is, so let me explain…

Vitamin C contributes to immune defense by supporting various cellular functions of both the innate (short-term) and adaptive (long-term) immune system. ²¹

There Are Actually Several Unique Ways It Helps Keep You Healthy Year-Round…

• Vitamin C helps support the growth and functioning of white blood cells while protecting them from damage by free radicals...²²
• Vitamin C helps strengthen the skin’s barriers to shield harmful foreign invaders from entering so you absorb less of the things trying to make you sick… ²³
• Vitamin C helps inhibit cell death of various forms of beneficial T-lymphocytes so they can instead stay in your body to fight off foreign invaders… ²⁴

Believe it or not, these are just 3 of 20 different ways vitamin C helps maintain a healthy immune system.

It’s almost impossible to understate how important it is to a healthy immune system, which of course is why we added it to Peak Immunity.

zinc

Zinc is kind of like the Mother of most households. Your immune system falls apart without it! 😂

In all seriousness, Zinc really is one of the most important pieces of your immune system. In fact, even moderate zinc deficiency can negatively affect more than 1300 processes inside your body. ²⁵

Even more important is how it plays a major role in the healthy function of many different aspects of immunity such as your T cells, B cells, macrophages, cytokines, and more. In other words, making sure you’re getting enough should be a major priority for anyone looking to bolster their immune system.

And of course, there are many studies showing just how effective it really is. But rather than making you read through the dozens of studies each individually showing how powerful it is...

Here Are Two Studies Giving A Comprehensive Overview Of Dozens Of Studies…

• A review of 7 studies showed zinc could help you regain your energy and back to work much faster than if you weren’t taking zinc…²⁶
• Another analysis of 28 studies showed that zinc can even help prevent symptoms and shorten the duration of certain respiratory tract infections… ²⁷

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is yet another molecule that has a widespread effect on your overall health. Unfortunately it’s VERY easy to become deficient in this miraculous vitamin, especially in the winter months. That’s why it’s so important to make sure you’re getting enough of it.

Vitamin D is essential for bone health as well as muscle and nerve functions. This makes it critically important for anyone over 50 as it helps you stay active, mobile and comfortable as you age.

But it’s also essential for your immune system. In fact, the vitamin is so important for immune function that low levels of vitamin D have been associated with increased susceptibility to infection and other immune system challenges. ²⁸

That’s because it helps promote proper function of macrophages, cytokines, T cells, B cells, Immonoglobulins, and many others. ²⁹ This is why vitamin D is so highly regarded for its ability to help properly regulate your immune system. Because it plays a major role in nearly every immune-related process that happens inside your body!

And as always, its research shows just how powerful it is…

• A review of 25 randomized controlled trials concluded that vitamin D supplementation significantly reduced the risk of acute respiratory tract infection...³⁰
• One impressive study showed that participants taking vitamin D had a 40% increased chance of staying healthy through the winter… ³¹
