The winter holidays are upon us. But this year, 2020, the pandemic has made everyone gathering more difficult. Almost one year into the pandemic, Covid-19 has claimed more than 1.7 million people and infected 80 million people worldwide. During the pandemic, maintaining and boosting health is top of mind for many people. Numerous steps such as handwashing and regular exercising can keep people away from the virus. One of the best defenses is to maintain a healthy immune system⁽³⁾。

How to strengthen your immune system this winter?
▲To maintain an exercise routine.
▲To deal with sleep deprivation.
▲To eat balance diet with sufficient nutrients.

Moreover, research has shown that the gut microbiome plays an essential role in the human immune response to infection and in maintaining health ⁽¹⁾. A healthy gut microbiome can help to prevent potentially dangerous immune over-reactions. People can also support gut microbiome by regularly eating natural food and nutritional supplements, which contain rich vitamins and live microbes-probiotics. Furthermore, the interactions between probiotics and immunity are increasingly well understood⁽²⁾。

SynbioTech selected and developed an excellent formula SynForU™-ImmuUp to help in boosting our immune system, which contains patented strain Lactobacillus plantarum LP28 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus LRH113. LP28 is a plant-derived lactic acid bacterium screened from Daxi dried bean curd in Taiwan which has excellent properties in gastric acid and bile tolerance because of growing in the extreme environment. SynForU™-ImmuUp is the perfect formula which can maintain the gut microbiome and supports your immune system.

Overall, the human immune system is an important line of defense against the invasion of pathogens. Maintaining a balanced diet, getting enough sleep, engaging in regular exercise, and supplementing with probiotics are some of the most important ways to help keep immune system healthy and reduce the probability of infection and illness.
