Russian defense weapon against cold and flu… REVEALED!
We’re just over a month into winter… and maybe you’ve managed to DODGE cold and flu season so far.
But you’re not necessarily OUT OF THE WOODS yet…
Because as lockdowns begin to RELAX around the country… and people start to move about more FREELY…
You CAN’T let down your defenses.
There’s still PLENTY of time for this winter season to do a number on you…
And you’ve got to make sure your immune system is prepared for whatever might come your way.
One of the most exciting ways to SHORE UP your immunity comes out of the coldest regions of Russia.
I’m sure the Russians would prefer to keep this a TIGHTLY-GUARDED secret all to themselves…
But the cat’s out of the bag!
Here’s the “tree trick” out of Siberia that you need to know about.
Siberian secret to an immune system of STEEL
The larch tree is a member of the pine family whose various species are found growing all over the world.
The ancient shamans of Europe considered larch trees a kind of transcendental experience – one that would provide a portal to another world, or even to the cosmos.
Native Americans used the western larch tree (Larix occidentalis) to naturally treat upper respiratory infections…
And now, modern research has backed up that traditional use.
One extract from the larch tree that helps support immune function is a type of soluble fiber first discovered in the 19th century, called arabinogalactan.
Larch arabinogalactan is used to both FEND OFF and FIGHT viral and bacterial infections, like the common cold and flu.
In one clinical trial, participants who took larch arabinogalactan came down with an average of 23% FEWER colds than the placebo group.
It seems to work by FERMENTING in your gut… which helps BALANCE your microbiome.
As you’ve read right here in eAlert, it’s CRUCIAL for your immunity that the “bad” gut bugs don’t OVERTAKE the “good” ones.
In addition to helping CREATE and MAINTAIN a certain beneficial bug harmony…
Larch arabinogalactan also appears to TRIGGER certain immune functions that are centered in the gut.
I’m talking about RELEASING THE HOUNDS – everything from pro-inflammatory cytokines to white blood cells like NK cells and macrophages.
If you’re looking for larch arabinogalactan, the best-studied version is a patented extract called ResistAid… which you can find in immune support formulas by quality makers.
But there’s ANOTHER type of extract that comes from a DIFFERENT type of larch tree…
And this is where the story gets REALLY interesting.
The Dahurian larch tree (Larix gmelinii) is named after the indigenous Daur people of the Transbaikal area of Sibera, near the borders of Mongolia and China.
Known as the most cold-hardy tree in the world, the Dahurian larch THRIVES in harsh, wintry conditions.
And its extracts can help you SURVIVE the dark winter ahead, too.
This species of larch tree contains arabinogalactan… PLUS an antioxidant flavonoid called dihydroquercetin (DHQ).
DHQ is closely related to… and works similarly to… another immune-boosting substance I’ve shared with you right here in eAlert, called quercetin.
But DHQ is even MORE powerful in its ability to scavenge free radicals…
With an antioxidant rating that’s as much as 3X higher than quercetin!
And like arabinogalactan, it has ALSO demonstrated the ability to help COMBAT viruses and bacteria.
The best-researched version of DHQ is the patented extract called Lavitol. A 2015 study confirmed its safety… and it’s used as an ingredient in several supplements in Russia.
In this country, you may find it in combination with vitamin C.
Or, look for another patented version of DHQ, called DHQvital. You’ll find it as an ingredient in Swanson’s Russian Rejuvenator immune health formula.
To iron-clad immunity,
