“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” ~ Ben Franklin

Many of us look forward to the change of season in the fall… but cold & flu season is another story.

Almost everyone experiences a common virus or two throughout the colder months of the year, but there are ways to help build your natural immune defenses to better protect yourself – and your family – from these infections.

Preparation is key – and herbs in the Deep Immune® formulas work specifically to support your strongest immunity!

Maybe you’re a long-time Deep Immune® user, or maybe you’re new to herbs. In either case, here’s how to choose your formula, and tips on how to take it!

Adults

Which Deep Immune® formula is for me?

• Deep Immune® Original Canada’s #1 award-winning original adult daily immune tonic!
• Deep Immune® Licorice-Free  is modified to eliminate licorice, so that it is safe for those with (or at risk for) hypertension.
• Deep Immune® Capsules are a convenient way to take immune protection with you on-the-go. 

How to take Deep Immune

It’s simple to add herbal prevention to your daily routine. Just take Deep Immune tincture twice daily in a little water – a shot glass is even better. Or, if preferred – take a dose of convenient Deep Immune® VegiCaps.

Ideally, Deep Immune® is taken daily as part of a regular routine 3 weeks on, 1 week off*, starting several weeks prior to high exposure times.

BUT it’s never too late to start strengthening your family’s immune system. Taking Deep Immune® regularly throughout cold & flu season can help to keep your defenses strong!

Deep Immune® Kids

Getting ready for the return to school is the perfect time to start up daily use of Deep Immune® Kids as a preventative tonic to fortify and balance children’s immune systems.

Deep Immune® Kids  has been a reliable children’s immune defense for Canadian families for over 20 years and is the winner of the prestigious Alive Gold Retailer & Consumer choice Award.  It is a safe and effective formula that stimulates improved immune function in children, containing only astragalus and codonopsis.

There’s also Deep Immune® Kids Honey & Berry – an alcohol-free version of our Deep Immune® Kids, with berry juice and honey – offering a touch of sweetness to help the medicine go down.

For the most effective support, doses should be taken twice daily – ideally in a little water on an empty stomach. Dosages for different ages are as follows:

• Children (2-4 years): 0.75-1 ml (scant ¼ teaspoon)
• Children (5-9 years): 1-1.5 ml (1/4 teaspoon)
• Adolescents (10-14 years): 2-3 ml (1/2 teaspoon)
• Adults & adolescents (15 & over): 4.5-6 ml (1 teaspoon)

TIP
Some kids don’t mind the slightly bitter herbal taste of the tincture, while others prefer it mixed into smoothies or a bit of juice.

Taking immunity “shots” as a family can also be a fun way to get kids on board.

Some kids may prefer Deep Immune® Kids Honey & Berry, for the sweeter taste.

It’s about whatever works for making it a part of the daily routine!

A note on taking adaptogenic tonics

Adaptogens are plant remedies that help the body adapt to stress and push back against fatigue. They act like a thermostat, constantly working to bring the body into a state of homeostasis or balance by stabilizing its physiological processes.

With continuous use of these formulas – or any adaptogenic herbs – we suggest an ongoing, recurring cycle of 3 weeks of use followed by a 1-week break to help regulate the body’s process of homeostasis.

Protection and peace of mind can be yours – with a little preparation!

Note: when symptoms of a common virus arise, it’s time to make the switch to infection fighting herbal formulas.
