Shield combines four powerful ingredients

They protect, regulate & maintain our wellbeing by nurturing the close connection between a healthy gut, an efficient immune system and balanced skin

  • Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein. It has a multifunctional role in supporting the immune system and has antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Lactoferrin supports a healthy gut microbiome promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, which is so important to overall health. It helps support skin health by reducing inflammation and fighting bacteria. Lactoferrin helps to support recovery from infections.

  • Essential for boosting immunity, fundamental for health and wellbeing this multi-tasking, hardworking, infection-fighting antioxidant protects cells from damage caused by free radicals and bacteria which can build up in the body leading to the development of illnesses. It can help to prevent and reduce the symptoms of colds and flu. Vitamin C also helps reduce stress and fatigue, supports normal energy-yielding metabolism and supports the synthesis of collagen so helping to heal wounds. It is needed for the maintenance of bones, muscles and blood vessels and aids iron absorption.

  • Zinc plays an important central role in supporting our immune system by reducing inflammation, fighting off invading germs, protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting the barrier of the skin. It is critical for the development and function of immune cells. A daily dose can substantially reduce the duration of colds and flu. Our bodies do not produce Zinc and therefore it has to be obtained through diet or supplements. Zinc is fundamental to skin health, the production of protein and DNA synthesis and has an important role in growth and development of the body.

  • Selenium is an effective weapon for the immune system as it can stimulate the body’s defence response to illness and chronic health conditions. It plays an important role in the prevention of viral infections. Selenium is a nutritionally essential component of selenoproteins which act as powerful antioxidants, protecting cells from oxidative stress and infection. It helps to break down peroxides which can cause damage to DNA, leading to inflammation. Another of selenium’s many roles is to protect skin from free radical damage and protect cell membranes against pigmentation and ultra-violet damage which in time can lead to premature aging.

Our Lactoferrin has optimum bioavailability and is ethically sourced from a farm in Northern France recognised for winning the Social and Environmental Commitment award in 2021

The Powerhouse Protein

Lactoferrin is considered to be a significant first line defence protein which protects against illness and inflammation and safeguards against upper respiratory tract infections, supporting a healthy immune response to disease. It is a powerful and highly effective anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory iron-binding protein which supports the natural immune system, healthy gut microflora and healthy skin.
