There are basically three views on dietary supplementation.

There are those who think that we shouldn't take any supplements since a healthy and complete diet should provide us with all the nutrients we need.

On the other hand, there are those who think that supplementation is capable of solving most problems.

And finally, there are those of us who believe that to improve our health and increase our longevity, we need both: nutrient-rich foods and supplements that help us avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies that we may have for various reasons, and to optimize our health.

This is especially important when it comes to the immune system. Even if we eat a healthy and varied diet, the modern lifestyle and stress (which we all experience to a greater or lesser extent) pose a challenge to our immune system.

The good news is that science knows more and more about what we can do to Helpfor our immune system to be strong and fit.

1) The modern food production process has diminished its quality. Modern agriculture and intensive livestock farming have meant that foods no longer contain as many vitamins and minerals as they once did. However, they still have the same number of calories.

We are therefore eating foods that "don't nourish us as much as they used to." We need to eat more than our grandparents did to obtain the same amount of nutrients. Soils are becoming increasingly impoverished, and plants produce fruits and leaves with fewer vitamins and minerals.

The animals are fed with feed and grain instead of grass, and this causes their meat to be deficient in some vitamins.

2) The RDA (recommended daily allowance) is not the ideal amount. It is only the amount necessary to not Falling ill in the short term. To optimize health and reach your full potential, combat stress and today's fast-paced lifestyle, the amounts needed are considerably higher than the RDA.

3) Some micronutrients are even more beneficial if taken in larger quantities. This is the case with vitamin C. We are one of the few animals that lack the ability to produce it ourselves, and it is a vitamin that plays a crucial role in the functioning of the immune system.

We lost the ability to synthesize it in an environment where it wasn't a problem, since ancestral fruits and vegetables had a much higher amount than current species. It wasn't a disadvantage, at least thousands of years ago. Today, it's known that under stressful conditions, mammals and humans consume part of their vitamin C reserves. But animals have an advantage over humans: they compensate for losses by self-reproducing vitamin C in their bodies. We don't.

It has been proven that a stressed goat can produce up to 15,000 mg of vitamin C. And do they really recommend we take 75 mg a day?

We, along with most up-to-date doctors and nutritionists, don't see any point in it. And science proves us right.

The vitamin C It is essential for the production of white blood cells and for the release of interferons, which are substances produced to protect against viral attacks.

Regular administration of vitamin C has a modest but consistent effect in reducing the duration of common cold symptoms, based on 31 study comparisons involving 9,745 common cold episodes. In five trials involving 598 participants exposed to short periods of extreme physical stress (including marathon runners and skiers), vitamin C halved the risk of the common cold (study). In a randomized, controlled study, just 200 mg/day of vitamin C given to the elderly resulted in an improvement in respiratory symptoms in the most severely hospitalized patients. And there were 80% fewer deaths in the vitamin C group.

Consuming more vitamin C is especially important for people with Blood sugar level disorders, since the absorption of this vitamin is reduced when blood glucose levels are high. Breastfeeding women should also consume more vitamin C, according to the National Institute of Health.

But what else is interesting for you? Helpfor our immune system? Red fruits, particularly blueberries and raspberries, They have a high content of polyphenols that Helpn the immune system to work more efficiently to protect the body against viral infections (study).

It is also beneficial to supplement with inulin. It is a non-digestible plant fiber that reaches the colon. It is fermented in the large intestine by the bacterial microflora and generates lactic acid and short-chain fatty acids. It stimulates the growth of good bacteria (which are essential for maintaining a strong immune system) and reduces the growth of harmful bacteria (study, study). In addition, short-chain fatty acids increase the absorption of magnesium and calcium (study).

Another recommended ingredient is the ginger. It has more than 400 compounds with diverse properties and promotes a healthy inflammatory and antimicrobial response natural that Help to fight respiratory conditions.

Maintaining a regular intake of these nutrients and foods can be difficult with today's fast-paced lifestyle, and this means that the positive effects of regular consumption are not achieved. That's why we present to you the new NATURAL IMMUNITY from Baïa Food.

Our Natural Immunity, brings you the 3 in 1 of the naturaleza: vitamin C, antioxidants and friba for your microbiota.

We have put together the following ingredients: Vegetable fiber*, freeze-dried raspberry powder*, acerola extract powder*, freeze-dried blueberry powder*, camu camu powder*, flavoring natural and powdered ginger*.

We use vitamin C from fruits (acerola and camu camu extract) and not isolated ascorbic acid, since it is more effective to consume vitamins from the food they come from than in their isolated form, as there are other factors and nutrients that give vitamins their beneficial properties, and that are lost in the isolation process.
