Boo!
How are we all? It is the last weekend before Christmas! Have you done all your Christmas shopping? The weather in London has been pretty crazy lately, it was freezing a couple of days ago, but now it is so mild I can go out in just a jumper - complete madness! With the weather being so unpredictable it is necessary to make sure that your immune system is maintained. The worst thing would be to be ill during this time of celebration and fun! I was recently offered the chance to review Bimuno Immunaid's Chewable Pastilles from their bimuno prebiotics range and wanted to share my experience. They have also very kindly sent me a box to giveaway to one of my readers, and I will include more details about it below.
I personally do not have a great immune system and get ill very very easily, worst of all they seem to come at the most inconvenient times e.g. exams etc. So I was very excited to review this product, as although I had not tried it before, I had already heard so many great things about it.
As you can seen from the package, this product is designed to support your immune system, and to provide an immune system boost. Although I have just popped open one of the pastilles in the picture, you should take two a day and it is recommended to be taken after breakfast. The great thing about these pastilles are the fact that they are chewable pastilles, and do not really have a taste. For me this is in a way good news as it means I won't be tempted to snack on them (like on cough sweets...I know, not great haha).
Bimuno's website is so informative, especially their FAQ, and it also states that "published scientific studies have shown that with daily use, the majority of Bimuno users experience an increase in their gut Bifidobacterium within 7 days". I have been taking these pastilles for the past week and a day, and have felt much better. Especially having a week whereby my sleeping schedule has been up-and-down, this could not have come at a better time. Of course I can't say for certain it's not just a psychological effect, but I am definitely going to continue taking these for the next couple of weeks just to ensure that my immune system is in top condition especially as I have exams coming up eek. Bimuno are also doing a 3 for 2 promotion at the moment.
Whenever I try health products I always look for reviews and testimonials and wanted to share with you all a couple of Expert Testimonials and Celebrity Testimonials:

“Bimuno is a new concept in being able to specifically feed the good bacteria to the detriment of the bad bacteria – if you feed your good bacteria they multiply and control the bad bacteria to help support gut health.” – Dr Chris Steele, GP and broadcaster
“I have always been conscious of my health when travelling abroad so I was happy to discover the prebiotic Bimuno Travelaid, I really appreciate how vital a healthy gut is for our general wellbeing and immune system.” – Camilla Dallerup, ballroom dancer (Strictly winner 2008), TV presenter and columnist for BodyFit magazine.
“I travel a lot, as I am a presenter on the Travel Channel and Contributing Editor for Cruise International magazine. I can’t afford to get ill when I go away, so I take Bimuno TRAVELAID before and during the trip, to protect myself against stomach upsets.” Julie Peasgood, Actress, TV presenter and writer
“The best way to beat those winter blues and stop us feeling run down and lethargic, is to build up our immunity. Few people realize that around 60% of our immune system is associated with the gut; with certain types of naturally occurring ‘good’ gut bacteria playing a central role. I’d recommend feeding these immunity supporting gut bacteria with second generation prebiotics such as those in Bimuno IMMUNAID. These prebiotics not only serve as an ideal foodstuff for ‘good’ gut bacteria causing them to grow and flourish but they also help to reduce ‘bad’ bacteria.” – Dr Ellie Canon, GP and broadcaster
As mentioned before Bimuno have sent me a box of Bimuno Immunaid to giveaway to one of my readers, so if you would like to try this product and have a little boost to your immune system please enter this giveaway via Rafflecopter below. This giveaway is open to anyone 18 and older, worldwide, and will be open from 21 December to 30 December 00:00 GMT. I'm really sorry but this is only open to UK Residents only.

This seems like something I'd definitely try. Currently I take vitamin C tablets every morning to help maintain my immune system.
ReplyDeletethey come in the form of chewy pastilles! wow! haha, sounds great. but i'm already 'full' with my current dose of supplements of vit c, vit b, probiotics, and collagen.
ReplyDeleteWhao!!! Sounds awesome! Great for people with low immune system like me =)
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway, I'll be entering. I'm lucky I have a pretty good immune system, I'll have to keep an eye out for these though.
