cold shield

for colds and flu


cold shield

Overview

Cold Shield is a natural supplement containing Lactoferrin which is a whey
based protein derived from cow’s milk. The body also has the natural ability to
produce its own Lactoferin, which is normally present in breast milk, tears and
other body secretions.
Research shows that those who are low in natural Lactoferrin levels are more
susceptible to infections. Lactoferrin is antiviral and antibacterial, and destroys
harmful organisms by boosting the body’s own immune function. For individuals
who have persistent recurring infections or those who have a compromised
immune system, Cold Shield can assist by giving the body’s natural immune
defences a boost to help fight infections such as colds and flu. Cold Shield can
be used as a preventative during times of increased susceptibility (e.g. winter); or
alternatively use acutely to reduce severity and duration of an infection.
Coldsheild contains Glycomax™ Lactoferrin Bovine, which is a whey based protein
derived from cow’s milk. Lactoferrin is a bioactive, multifunctional glycoprotein
produced in our body, and is present in breast milk, tears and other secretions.
Also known as ‘nature’s miracle ingredient’, it is a powerful contributor to our
defence system against infection.
Research shows that Lactoferrin is antiviral and antibacterial, and boosts immune
function by destroying harmful organisms within the digestive tract. Individuals,
who have an immune system under challenge, regularly succumb to infections.
Coldshield assists by boosting the body’s natural immune defences, and
assisting in improving the general wellbeing and quality of life. Coldshield is the
ideal solution to persistent illness, low immune function and improving resistance
to infections as seasons change, and respiratory tract infection in children.
