Vitamim D3 and its affectiveness as a deterrant to influenza are becoming widely known. It is nice to know that there is an alternative, particularly if someone cannot use D3 or EP67.

Vitamim D3 and its affectiveness as a deterrant to influenza are becoming widely known.

The onsets of many health conditions and diseases related to weakend immune systems can be traced directly to VitD3 deficiencies, which is more prevalent than has been given credit for previously. The U.S. governmetn has recently raised the VitD3 RDA but it still seems insufficiently low for much of the population.

The value of EP67 seems to be that it can act post-facto of infection, so it can act as antidote or emergency agent - "... researchers said that mice infected with a lethal dose of influenza did not die after receiving the protein."
