MAINTAINS IMMUNE SYSTEM HEALTH
Looking to optimize immune function? Want to give your immune system a little helping hand as it works tirelessly to protect you? Perfect Protein Elevated Immune Supporter is formulated to offer long term support. It acts as a deep and nourishing tonic for the immune system, to help you be at your best as you get on with your day.
PROTECTS IMMUNE HEALTH FROM STRESS
Is chronic stress a big factor in your life? Has your immune system been taking a hit? We often become more vulnerable to infection or autoimmune disorders when under chronic stress. This is when a deep acting immune tonic such as Perfect Protein Elevated Immune Supporter can be of great help to minimize the negative impact of stress as well as support a balanced and optimal immune function.
PROVIDES ANTIOXIDANTS
Why care about antioxidants? Because they protect us from the wear and tear of chronic stress and inflammation. Our body produces free radicals as part of its everyday functions. These have their own important roles to play – for instance, we need them to help fight infections. But a balance between free radicals and their neutralizers – antioxidants – is crucial for optimal wellness. Superfoods rich in antioxidants are a highly nourishing way to provide the extra help our body can benefit from.
HELP BUILD AND REPAIR MUSCLE
Protein provides us with the building blocks to synthesize and repair body tissues, including muscles. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are found in good concentrations in this formula, are of particular importance for this. This plant-based protein powder is helpful if you are wanting to maintain and even build healthy muscle mass. Protein is especially important after exercise [1], to repair damaged muscle and help it grow back stronger. Research tells us that eating protein before and after exercise helps increase muscle recovery, promote muscle building and can even reduce muscle ache.
Quinoa is an outstanding nutritional powerhouse. It has the highest protein content of all grains (although technically not a grain) and unlike most plant-based sources of protein, it provides a complete protein, which means it contains all the essential amino acids. Paired with Brown rice, we have a complete, well balanced protein for our everyday needs.
Botanica’s organic brown rice is treated with organic enzymes to support ease of digestion and to help break down some of the starch and fiber thereby naturally increasing the final protein content.
Coconut was chosen for this formula in part to support a balanced protein profile, and largely for its yummy goodness that gives the powder a smooth and creamy texture.
Increases resistance to stress
2000 mg
Astragalus has become a highly popular root in modern times for its ability to act deeply on the immune system [1]. It has demonstrated powerful immunomodulatory effects, which means it helps to support balanced immune function. As an adaptogen, Astragalus also helps us to better adapt and cope with stress, which can weaken the immune system over time.
Antioxidant for good health
120 mg
Vitamin C has long been recognized for its potential to support healthy immune function and it has been studied for its ability to prevent and treat respiratory and systemic infections [2]. Botanica’s food-based Vitamin C comes from Acerola cherry, a superfood rich in powerful antioxidants for optimal health.
Supports immune function
1000 IU
Vitamin D is important to keep our immune system functioning in a balanced and optimal range. Deficiency, which is common among Canadians [3], has been associated with increased autoimmunity (overactive immune function) as well as an increased susceptibility to infection (underactive immune function [4]).
Maintains immune system health
10 mg
Zinc has been referred to as the gatekeeper of immune function as virtually all immune cells are highly zinc-dependent [5]. Zinc also plays an important role in cell growth and repair and as such has demonstrated great benefit for skin health and wound healing [6].
