Boost immunity with our personal favourites, it will be strong and resilient
Our beloved Ballot-Flurin for years
We discovered Ballot-Flurin as an integral part of our colleague's life in France seven years ago. Her enthusiasm for products with propolis infected the whole Wereco and thus we decided to offer them to our customers at the end of 2023. Our fascination with their effectiveness hasn't left us even after years. For us and our immunity, long-term strengthening is crucial and in case of higher risk of bacterial attack, we reach for proven Ballot products to support defense.
Our favourites are the great Ballot-Flurin Tablets with black propolis for immune support. If you dislike swallowing tablets, nothing is easier than choosing for supplementation, for example:
Ballot-Flurin Extract from French organic black propolis spray
Ballot-Flurin Cure® honey with organic local polyfloral pollen 125 g
Ballot-Flurin Fruit jelly bears with raw honey and propolis 100 g
Soulel: A range of functional plant-based dietary supplements
We won't lie when we say we love Soulel. Although it does not have many products, their products are very effective, packed with antioxidants and adaptogens. Exactly what the body needs to receive a proper boost. Daily life stresses, whether small or large, affect the state of overall immunity and body. The effect of free radicals due to excessive oxidative stress damages body cells, leads to premature ageing and is associated with the development of lifestyle diseases.
Soulel Health is not just any brand. Its products contain a broad spectrum of active substances not only to support the immune system but also overall wellbeing of body and mind. Holistically blended dietary supplements you'll love as much as we do are well worth a try.
They contain superfoods that due to their exceptional nutritional value have a significant benefit for our health and wellbeing. They are full of antioxidants, a typical example is vitamin C (essential for proper functioning of our natural defence against pathogens) in berries; an ultimate boost can be found in Soulel Purples, also suitable for children.
Bet on probiotics and prebiotics in Soulel Biota Organic powder for digestive support containing prebiotics and ferments. Gut flora health is closely linked with the state of the immune system. Good gut flora reduces the duration of symptoms (fever, cough) and risk of secondary bacterial infection.
You can also try:
Soulel Booster Organic powder: For supporting immunity and the body's energy reserves.
Soulel Dirt Organic powder, a coffee alternative with chaga and ginseng: Delicious taste, energising and contains effective adaptogens for better immune support and stress management.
Quality organ nutrition from NUTRIVØ̈RE
We love organ nutrition. As an absolutely comprehensive source of vitamin Bs, zinc, copper, magnesium and other beneficial minerals, it is our true favourite. Because if you take it, you practically do not need many other dietary supplements to complement it. Just add magnesium and vitamin C.
In organ nutrition you will find two key minerals for good immune responses: selenium and zinc.
Zinc is especially necessary for producing our antibodies and white blood cells, two main defenders against infections. Zinc deficiency exposes the body to repeated demands to fight infections. It acts as a strong antioxidant. Selenium also works at the immune level by maintaining a reserve of white blood cells (T lymphocytes) "on alert." Its deficiency leads to increased susceptibility to infections.
Organ nutrition is rich in "the Bs" (we have a detailed article explaining their overall effect on the body) and vitamin A. Deficiency of this vitamin in the body reduces the quality of immune response to some types of bacteria and viruses. Vitamin A stimulates the production of white blood cells and antibodies (vitamin Bs have the same function here).
Proteins in immune system protection
Proteins are one of the three main groups of macronutrients together with carbohydrates and lipids. In the body, they play a structural role in muscle or skin, in many processes such as immune response (important for antibodies), oxygen transport in the body (haemoglobin), digestion. Protein plays a key role in building and repairing body tissues, as well as in fighting viral and bacterial infections. It is up to you to choose plant-based or animal (whey) protein.
Animal proteins are relatively rich in essential amino acids and generally contain higher amounts than plant proteins. Regarding digestibility, they are generally reported to be slightly higher in animal-origin proteins.
Plant foods richest in protein are oilseeds (peanuts, almonds, pistachios, etc.), legumes and their derivatives (tofu, chickpeas, beans, etc.) and cereals.
You can choose from these proteins with us:
Puhdistamo vegan plant-based protein from rice and peas organic natural 600 g
Nutriest Organic whey protein 1 kg
Ancestral superfoods Warrior BIO (Fermented, bioactive protein) 200g
BioBloom vegan premium plant-based organic hemp protein 300 g
Time for detox can be individual for everyone
Detox actually belongs to successful immune system strengthening because it helps combat harmful substances accumulated in the body during the summer. Detoxification cure is traditionally recommended to cleanse the body of waste produced by food, lifestyle, medications, pollution, stress, sedentary lifestyle and other environmental factors encountered daily, leading to the body being tired from fighting them.
This disrupts its natural balance and it is advisable to perform its cleansing. Early autumn represents an ideal time for a big internal cleanse in traditional Chinese medicine. This belief is based on the conviction of traditional Chinese medicine therapists that lungs and intestines are responsible for our energy and immunity. Autumn detox prepares the body for winter and helps the slowing metabolism adapt better to changes. It supports natural immunity and the body's fight against viruses and bacteria. It also supports immune responses during the winter period.
What to reach for from us:
Soulel Detox Organic powder 200g
Puhdistamo Premium Green Powder 120 g
MycoMedica Organic Chlorella 1200 tablets 300 g

Enjoy quality chocolate
The cherry on the immunity cake is chocolate. Don't believe it? Quality dark and high-percentage is a strong builder of impenetrable immunity. So is raw cocoa. Both have been studied in immunological studies with remarkable results. They are described as strong anti-inflammatory agents thanks to flavonoids, which exhibit a strong antioxidant effect. In addition, according to a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, high doses of cocoa strengthen helper T cells, a subgroup of lymphocytes capable of better adapting our defence against various mutating infections.

Alveus Organic blend of cocoa and matcha for drink 125 g
