One note of caution is that since it contains St. John's Wort, be aware that this herb can potentiate many prescription drugs, making them even more dangerous than they are normally. You should check with your physician before taking prescription drugs with St. John's Wort. The good news is that if you take St. John's Wort, you can probably eliminate antidepressant drugs entirely.

If you take Power Immune on a regular basis, you'll also notice an improvement in triglycerides and cholesterol levels thanks to the garlic and ginger ingredients and this means you might also be able to transition off your statin drugs. In fact, there are a number of pharmaceuticals made obsolete by the ingredients found in Power Immune. However that's not the purpose of this product. It's not meant as an all-around herbal supplement. It has one purpose and that is to prevent colds, flus and infectious disease of all kinds. Power Immune is extremely effective at protecting you from infectious disease.

Most people try to beat their colds by masking the symptoms with over-the-counter drugs such as cough syrup, sinus medication (which only dries out your sinuses while doing nothing to fight the infection), or even antibiotics which are so overprescribed by doctors that they have become a threat to the safety of patients. They end up feeling lousy for 3 – 7 days, and the cold symptoms overtake them from head to toe, landing them in bed and causing them to miss work or recreation.

Most consumers walk around in a state that's highly susceptible to colds and flus. But with the help of some botanical defenders, you can greatly enhance your ability to overcome such infections, reducing your down time to a single night instead of a week or so. Take it as soon as you detect cold symptoms coming on and keep taking it every four hours until your cold is gone. You'll notice a significant improvement in your ability to overcome colds and viral infections and various flus. Overall, Power Immune is a good value for what it delivers, and the product technology really works.

Much of that excitement about vitamin D is centered around cancer research. Just like nearly all healthy cells, cancer cells have vitamin D receptors too and when D binds, it tells those cells to stop growing, a potentially life-saving command. In fact, a 2005 article in the Southern Medical Journal called vitamin D "one of the most potent inhibitors of both normal and cancer cell growth." This potential cancer-fighting power may help explain why cancers of the breast, colon or prostate tend to be more common, or more aggressive, in dark-skinned people.

In some cases, taking vitamin D supplements to compensate for a shortage of sunlight may stop such diseases before they start. In a 2006 study published in Science, a UCLA research team found that vitamin D-related peptides can actually kill the bacteria responsible for tuberculosis. This effect was so profound that these researchers concluded, “…differences in ability of human populations to produce vitamin D may contribute to susceptibility to microbial infection.” That primary difference is sun exposure, for without it, vitamin D synthesis is stopped in its tracks. During the shorter, darker days of winter, vitamin D production plummets and the immune system falters, opening the seasonal door for flu. The solution is Vitamin D supplementation.

Generous amounts of D also seem to strengthen bones and prevent fractures. A 2005 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that an extra 700 to 800 IU of vitamin D, taken with or without calcium, reduced the risk of hip fractures in post-menopausal women by 26%. A recent Mayo Clinic survey found that 93% of adults and children with unexplained pain were vitamin D deficient.

Vitamin D supplements can releive pain as reported by many people with pain. They get relief when they take vitamin D. When the researchers added a little vitamin D to the mix, disease-fighting cells that had previously sat dormant suddenly roared to life and started attacking the infection.

You can boost your vitamin D levels by taking supplements of this crucial vitamin. How much should you take? It depends on where you live. How much sun exposure you get? If you live above 40 degrees latitude, which is the parallel running through Philadelphia, Denver, and Reno—there isn’t enough UVB radiation during the winter to stimulate vitamin D production so you need more. If, on the other hand you live in the South, you need to get outside, without sunscreen, for at least 10 minutes a day. Your age counts since production in older people is less efficient. Your skin color is also important since those wtih darker skin needs considerably longer sun exposure to produce vitamin D. As far as Vitamin D supplements we suggest that you take at least 1000 mg daily and 2000 would be fine.
