1. Berry Well, £14.99, lifeplan.co.uk
Lifeplan’s BerryWell capsules combine high-strength black elderberry extract with 100% of the Nutrient Reference Value of vitamin C and zinc, which both contribute to the normal function of your immune system and contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also helps reduce tiredeness and fatigue. That's not all though, as elderberries, a fruit of the Sambucus tree, are rich in flavonoids, which are packed with antioxidant properties. This new one-a-day vegetarian capsule obtains its deep colour from purple carrots, contains no fillers and is registered with the Vegan Society. It's ideal for taking throughout the year to keep your immunity in tip-top shape.
2. Psolace Complete Kit, from £127, psolace.co.uk
As a person with psoriasis, an auto-immune condition, you may be taking prescribed immunosuppressant medications to keep your symptoms under control, therefore, you may be at higher risk of infection. This could cause you a lot of stress, which is commonly known to be a leading trigger for a psoriasis flare-up. Psolace is a natural psoriasis treatment system that is proven to heal psoriasis through a gut-cleansing detox process. It contains ingredients such as milk thistle, astralagus root, moringa, vitamin C, and liquorice root, all known to cleanse your body of impurities and support your immune system. This is particularly important at a time when your body needs it most. Support your immune system today with Psolace, and receive 10% off with discount code PSOLVH10.
