Consumer Care RESET & RESIST Influence the immune system BY GARETT DICKINSON The immune system's response to disease has been under a microscope during the pandemic. Researchers continue to explore how diet, exercise, age, stress and other factors affect immune response. We do know nutrients can play a role in fighting disease, so the second installment of the series focuses on products that claim to boost the immune system and improve healing.

SARVAA SUPERFOOD

is a Durango company founded in 2012 with the mission of creating organic, whole food supplements from ethical sources. The Superfruit C product was created to boost immunity for disease protection and rapid healing, in addition to providing anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects.

COLORADO MUSHROOM COMPANY

is a family operated local business specializing in medicinal and culinary mushroom products. In partnership with local coffee roaster Desert Sun, CMC crafts beverages that boost health. Medicinal mushrooms can produce enzymes that support the growth of new nervous tissue in the brain and body, while other fungi strengthen immunity by stimulating and balancing gut microbiota. Find CMC products online.

HUMMINGBIRD HERBALS

Immuboost is a tincture formulated to support the immune system that combines Echinacea, Astragalus, Eleuthero, Reishi mushroom, Red Root, Andrographis and Licorice root, herbs traditionally used in western and eastern herbal medicine.
