Spring into action against allergens

Spring is here, the flowers are starting to blossom and the temperature is rising. Unfortunatly this also means that the air starts to fill with allergens. The biggest spring allergy trigger is pollen, tiny grains released into the air by trees, grasses, and weeds for the purpose of fertilizing other plants. When pollen grains get into the nose of someone who’s allergic, they send the immune system into overdrive.

The latest technology to support your immune system when it’s under attack from spring allergens is Proline-Rich Polypeptides (PRPs) or “immune balancers”.

“PRPs are very small proteins called peptides that carry information to the immune cells, to support a balanced immune system,” explains Clinicians technical consultant and registered pharmacist, Debora-Dale Young .

PRPs are the unique ‘secret’ ingredient in Clinicians Pepticol, a natural immune supporter.

Recently developed by New Zealander, Andrew Keech PhD, Pepticol is derived from colostrum, a natural substance found in human and cow’s milk. Colostrum is rich in nutrients and compounds that build an infant’s healthy immune system.  Pepticol comes in a handy mouth spray making it ideal for travel, and it has a natural vanilla flavour.

Pepticol contains milk products and should be taken with caution if you are dairy intolerant.  As a refined product, however, it doesn’t include the amount of lactose to produce an allergic reaction.  In fact, studies have shown that Pepticol provides significant support for the body’s reaction to food allergens.

Del-Immune V ^(R)

Another natural weapon to support the immune system against allergens, ills and chills is Clinicians Del-Immune V ^(R).  Dairy-free, it uses probiotic cell wall fragments or proteins that act as messengers through the gastro-intestinal immune system.  It also supports the immune system to respond appropriately.  Del-Immune V ^(R) is especially useful to support gut health.  Well tolerated for use from six months old upwards.
