Have You Had a Cold for Too Long?


I grew up with the understanding that a cold lasted 3 days.  On the fourth day it should be just mild symtoms and after a week you were symptom free. Why is it that I see many clients with moderate symptoms after a week? Not sick enough to stay in bed but definitely not feeling fully recovered.

On average adults have between 2 to 4 colds per year. If your cold is lasting weeks rather than days that is a lot of time wasted not feeling great and not performing at your best. There are many ways you can get on top of your cold  and flu symptoms & recover faster.



One of my favourite products is Ethical Nutrients Immune Defence which contains a clinically studied 6g dose of Andrographis in each dose.  Andrographis reduces the duration and severity of your cold and flu. Immune Defence helps relieve your cold symptoms as well as supporting your immune system. This means you not only recover more quickly but you are far less likely to catch another cold!! Immune Defence helps you stay well during cold and flu season.

Clinical studies have also shown that high dose Vitamin C  also helps reduce the severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms. At Cranes we have some great tasting, readily absorbed Vitamin C products. Try  Bioceuticals Ultra Potent-C Effervescent High Dose Vitamin C powder - it tastes so great even the kids will be asking for more!

Another clinically proven treatment for cold and flu symptoms is - believe it or not - chicken soup! Try Rosemary's delicious Immune Booster Soup recipe containing chicken & shiitake mushrooms - yummy!! And while you are in the kitchen, try mixing up some of Rosemary's Flu-Fighter Tea. Made with warming ginger, honey, lemon, garlic and cinnamon, you will feel your symptoms improve with each sip.

So this winter, tackle your cold symptoms with our proven remedies and feel better within days not weeks!
