Medford JuniorScript Immune Plus Syrup? A tasty DAILY supplement for KIDS. Formulated to support the IMMUNE SYSTEM and help the body overcome COLD & FLU symptoms. Maintaining a healthy immune system year round, can be challenging for the growing child, with an immature immune system. It can be even harder under the pressures of modern day living to keep the systems in balance. Targeted nutritional supplementation can assist with any shortfalls to guard against immune system dysfunction during both acute illness and on an ongoing preventative basis. JuniorScript Immune+ provides a synergistic combination of key ingredients specifically chosen for their role in supporting a healthy immune system on an ongoing basis. JuniorScript Immune+ also has a low Glycaemic Index (GI) and contains no artificial colourants or harmful preservatives. Indications - To help prevent infections. - Shorten the duration of cold & flu symptoms. - Assist in restoring health after illness. - Help break the antibiotic cycle. Essentials for an immune system boost Echinacea?is well known for its immune modulating properties, which appear to target both nonspecific and specific immune function. Echinacea supports the body?s immune system in the prevention and treatment of many types of bacterial and viral illnesses. It has also been shown in research to be beneficial in the treatment of upper respiratory tract infections, sinusitis, tonsillitis and the common cold and flu. Elder Flower?contains anthocyanidins which are thought to have immune-modulating effects and may prevent the replication of influenza viruses. Elderberry supports the mucous membranes during the common cold, hay fever, acute and chronic sinusitis and bronchitis. Further immune and antioxidant support Propolis?contains flavonoids, which are thought to be responsible for its antibacterial effects. Propolis activates macrophages and stimulates the process of phagocytosis. It also has antioxidant properties which assist in reducing oxidative stress in the body. Goji Berries?are a rich source of both macronutrients, micronutrients and phytochemicals which provide comprehensive nutritional, antioxidant and immune support. Green Tea?provides potent antioxidant benefits due to it containing the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Green Tea has also been shown to stimulate the immune system and also exhibits antimicrobial properties to help fight infections. Focused vitamins and minerals Growing children are often found to be deficient in immune-essential vitamins and minerals and thus the formula includes the following: Multivitamins?? The combination in JuniorScript Immune+ assists in supporting a healthy immune system and improving vitality. Vitamin D3?helps support the normal functioning of the immune system. The body, when exposed to sunlight, makes 90% of our vitamin D. However, over-use of sunscreens (which are mandatory in most schools) can block up to 97% of the body?s vitamin D production. Daily supplementation therefore becomes essential for the growing child. Selenium?activates glutathione, which reduces oxidative stress by handling free radicals and hydrogen peroxide. This would support the immune system in functioning optimally. Zinc?as a mineral is not stored in the body and needs to be consumed daily in the diet. This can be challenging in children especially fussy eaters. Zinc deficiency in children has been linked to decreased growth, increased susceptibility to colds and infections, impaired memory, learning disabilities, and poor attention span. Zinc has been included into JuniorScript Immune+ to ensure adequate daily intake. Along with a balanced diet, adequate rest and sunshine, JuniorScript Immune+ will help to prime children?s immune systems for the best possible defence against colds and flu.

Medford ViralScript? upports the IMMUNE SYSTEM and helps the body overcome COLD and FLU symptoms. With all the incredible advances in modern medicine, we still have no cure for the common cold, the flu, and many other common viral infections. We are also exposed to various microbes on a daily basis, and our immune systems are being challenged. Maintaining a healthy immune system, now more than ever, remains our best defence to counteract infection and regulate appropriate immune responses. The immune system can be strengthened not only through a variety of healthy lifestyle choices, but also with the use of appropriate vitamins, minerals, and herbs which have immune enhancing properties. ViralScript combines these nutrients into a powerful synergistic formula, designed for daily preventive use and can also be used as a ?booster? to support the immune system during infection, to prevent viral replica?tion, reduce inflammation and congestion, and to help loosen and expel excessive mucous. Indications: - Supports a healthy immune system. - Prevention of the common cold. - Upper respiratory tract infection. - Helps reduce mucous congestion on the chest. - Forms part of both an immune prophylactic and treatment protocol. Fortify immune response during infection with three proven herbs Andrographis?(Andrographis paniculata) is an Indian herb used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine. It has a favourable effect on the immune system and reduces the symptoms of most types of upper respiratory tract infections, mainly due to the immuno-stimulatory activity of the andrographolide constituent. Andrographis has been shown to be beneficial in the support of bacterial and viral upper respiratory tract infections, by reducing the duration and severity of symptoms. In addition it has been shown to significantly reduce the symptoms of sinusitis, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis. Echinacea?is well known for its immune modulating and enhancing properties and can help support the treatment of infections in general, but especially upper respiratory tract infections and even sinusitis. Echinacea enhances numerous aspects of the immune system such as increasing the number of circulating macrophages, activating natural killer cells (lymphocytes) and increasing the production of T-lymphocytes. Echinacea also supports lymphatic drainage during infections. Elderberry?prevents the replication of all certain influenza viruses, due to the lectin content of elderberry, which inhibits the viral neuraminidase enzyme, thereby inhibiting the ability of influenza viruses to enter cells and replicate. Elderberry also assists as a decongestant. Support for mucous drainage N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)?is the stable form of cysteine, an amino acid commonly found in food. It has mucolytic properties to loosen and liquefy mucous in the respiratory tract. NAC acts to reduce mucous viscosity by splitting disulfide bonds linking proteins present in the mucous (mucoproteins). Key immune regulating nutrients with the most clinical evidence Zinc?plays a critical role in the immune system and zinc-deficient people are more susceptible to a variety of viruses and bacteria. Zinc is involved in various aspects of the immune system, from keeping viruses from penetrating the barrier of the skin to assisting in the normal development of natural killer cells. All types of lymphocytes require zinc for their production plus, zinc is also a powerful antioxidant. Vitamin C?concentrations in the plasma and in white blood cells known as leukocytes rapidly decline during infections and stress and thus need to be replenished. Supplementation with vitamin C has been found to improve components of the human immune system such as antimicrobial and natural killer cell activities.
