Powerful natural antioxidant

FRUITOMED now makes natural antioxidants more easily accessible thanks to its IMMUNIA polyphenol concentrates.

Polyphenols found in dark-colored berries are molecules with antioxidant properties that provide significant health benefits. These molecules help combat the formation of free radicals, which tend to accumulate in excess in the body with age.

According to an article written by Dr. Richard Béliveau (*Polyphenols, Molecules of Longevity, Journal de Montréal, November 11, 2013), numerous epidemiological studies have shown that a high intake of polyphenol-rich foods is associated with a significant reduction in chronic diseases.

NATURAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY

Inflammation is the immune system's natural protective response to injury or a harmful external stimulus, such as pathogens, allergens, and other irritants. It helps fight infections and repair damaged tissues.

However, when inflammation persists due to a recurrent stimulus, it can lead to chronic inflammation, contributing to the development of several inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and rheumatism. The combination of different polyphenols helps relieve joint pain.

Studies show that consuming a diet rich in polyphenols has a significant effect on reducing inflammatory stress shortly after ingestion, highlighting the importance of consuming polyphenol-rich foods as often as possible.

FRUITOMED offers its anti-inflammatory supplement:
Immunia ARTICULATIONS, a 100% natural product formulated to help relieve joint pain.

Immune system | Antiviral

The immune system is essential for our body. It is our best defense mechanism against diseases: it fights off viruses, combats harmful bacteria, and eliminates parasites as well as tumor cells. Studies show that polyphenols regulate immune function and influence epigenetic mechanisms that act as mediators in the modulation of immune response.

A balanced and healthy immune system equips our body (our internal defense) to withstand the challenges of modern life! This is why we named our product line “IMMUNIA”, featuring a golden shield logo.

To help relieve cold and flu symptoms... naturally!

The antiviral properties of elderberries have been confirmed by several studies conducted to assess their effectiveness against multiple virus strains, including influenza A and B (responsible for the flu). Research has shown that elderberry polyphenols (flavonoids) bind to the influenza A H1N1 virus, preventing it from entering host cells and causing infection.

This is why elderberry has been used for many years in herbal medicine to combat cold and flu symptoms, such as cough, sore throat, fever, and acute or chronic inflammation of the mucous membranes in the upper respiratory tract, as seen in allergies. The high concentration of polyphenols in IMMUNIA ELDERBERRY SYRUP provides a powerful and natural antiviral action, helping to reduce and relieve symptoms more quickly. (To be taken at the first signs of symptoms.)

But even better... take a proactive approach with our product IMMUNIA FUSION, a concentrated blend of elderberries, elderflowers, and other antioxidants. Daily consumption helps strengthen the immune system and aids in the prevention of colds, flu, and sinus infections!

For the well being of the intestinal flora

According to a study by Laval University (INAF), polyphenols help stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as Akkermansia muciniphila, which is found in the intestine and is believed to play a key role in gut health and even weight control.

A study conducted by researchers Roopchand et al. confirmed these findings and reported that administering a dose of 26.2 mg of polyphenols per day had prebiotic effects on Akkermansia and improved gut health (microbiota).

Each daily dose (5 ml) of our product Immunia SYNERGY provides nearly 40 mg of polyphenols. It is therefore a supplement of choice for supporting your gut microbiota health... which will have significant benefits for your immune system.

Eliminate toxins from the body

Thanks to its diuretic properties, elderberry acts as an alterative, helping to eliminate accumulated waste through the kidneys, skin, and mucous membranes. Its high potassium content makes it a safe diuretic for long-term use.
