Wanting to make sure that you have a sick-free holiday season, I found a great new study that should be helpful.  Cold and Flu Response announced the results of a recent study conducted at the University of Alberta Medical School to determine the effectiveness of commercial immune boosting products. When cultured lymphocytes were exposed to Formula LP, they responded with a greater growth rate than the control, while the rest of the products did not exhibit significant growth. With respect to fighting potential bacterial and viral infections, lymphocyte proliferation is a good measure of immune response; none of the other products demonstrated this activity. The study concluded that Formula LP significantly out-performs the leading products in the Immune category.

According to Dr. Tod Kimbell, Vice President of Cold and Flu Response, “This is great news for consumers looking for an effective immune booster. Of the seven leading products tested in this category, only Formula LP was shown to significantly boost lymphocyte production, one of the body’s principal defenses against invading germs, and a widely accepted measure of immune function in the medical community.”

Immune boosters are used to protect people from a wide variety of microbial invaders that can contribute to colds, flu and other infections. Last year sales of immune boosters topped $700 million, as Americans turned to natural products in managing their well-being. “There is now clear scientific evidence to help consumers choose an effective immune booster and that evidence supports Formula LP,” said Jim Bruce, President of Cold and Flu Response.
