Boosting Our Immunity The Natural Way with Erba Vita

Getting sick is something no one enjoys. Ever. But sometimes you can't help it, your body's defenses give in to germs and unfavourable weather conditions and we end up sick.

I was recently introduced to Erba Vita which is a brand that since 1982 has had the most natural kind of well being at heart. Their products cover every aspect of human well-being and the company is accredited under ISO 9001:2015, and a certified HACCP institution so you know you are getting top-notch quality products from a reliable company which takes its manufacturing processes very seriously.

I was given two products from the brand which I will be talking about in today's post of course - ImmunAction capsules and Propoli EVSP Effer Prop Effervescent tablets.

ImmunAction Capsules (€11.50 for 60 capsules)

I'll start with Immun Action which is marketed as a natural shield for our well being. In fact, even the art-work on the products depicts a shield as the product is intended as a boost to our immune system. The transparent capsules contain a brownish powder which contains all the beneficial ingredients needed to boost our immune system. The main ingredients are Echnicaea, Tabebuia, Cat's Claw, Astragalus Papaya and Angrographis, each of which exerts a specific function to promote our bodies' defense mechanisms against disease. As a matter of fact, ImmunAction is the perfect supplement during the colder months to further protect yourself against say for example the common cold. 

As luck would have it, after only two days of starting the month-long supply, I got sick with tonsillitis and I'm not going to lie, my immediate reaction was 'maybe these things don't work at all' but for the sake of this blog and because I hate bashing a product after the first use, I still proceeded with taking ImmunAction capsules daily and finish the pack, after all, our bodies take time to get used to something new. I'm glad I did. For starters, I was only sick for a day - usually it would last three days for sure. I was prescribed a course of antibiotics by my doctor which I had to take to get better and while I'm usually all sleepy while I'm on antibiotics, I wasn't feeling so bad and kept going. I guess ImmunAction did have something to do with it.

I continued taking 2 capsules of ImmunAction every morning with a glass of water and I think it did help in preventing me from getting sick so this gets the thumbs up from me! After one month of taking ImmunAction, it is recommended to give the immune system a break from Echinacea as it increases the number of white blood cells (the cells that fight off infections) and it's good to have them return back to your normal levels. Of course, always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any supplements especially if you are or think you might be pregnant.

PropoliEVSP Effer Prop Effervescent Tablets (€11 for 20 tablets)

The second Erba Vita product I'll be sharing with you is the Propoli EVSP Effer Prop Effervescent tablets. These came in very handy to gargle with and soothe my throat and since they are propolis based, they act as an antiseptic too. These tablets are my favourite out of the two because they taste really good and well, the kid in me enjoys seeing them effervesce in water ;) Propolis is a resinous mixture that bees make to close off any unwanted open spaces in their hives. It is a known natural antiseptic and in these Effer Prop tablets it is mixed with Vitamin C and Zinc to aid the immune system in functioning to maximum levels. I usually dissolve one tablet in a glass of water and drink up for a healthier me! 

In conclusion, I am not one to down medicinals for no reason or just becasue I feel a bit sick - I usually let my body fight it off on it's own so a boost is always appreciated; and, when I do need to take antibiotics, I'm sure that Erba Vita has the right products to keep me going!
