Attack Cold & Flu Season with Nucleotides & Botanical Vitamins

by Todd Gegerson October 15, 2026

No, there is no "cure" for the common cold.  And flu symptoms can be almost debilitating.

I've put together a few ways to provide relief that pull from natural and botanical remedies. And you can even buy them on this site (convenient right?!). Take a read and make the decision to conquer the ills of colds and flu. 

Nucleotides (try Nucleo Immune available here)       

Research shows that nucleotides can provide significant support during the flu and cold season. In research trials nearly every person reported positive benefits when taking nucleotides for colds and flu symptoms including stresses related to sinuses, body aches, ears, head pain, body temperature, mouth and throat.

During Immune stress if an extra source of nucleotides is available then billions of sturdy nucleotides can be absorbed by the cell and help fight back to end the immune stress.

Research shows that if taken at the onset most people will not get the cold or flu. When taken after symptoms appear nucleo immune has been shown to decrease the duration of the immune stress by half the time. I like to keep at least 2 bottles per family member on hand at all times just in case.    

As soon as you feel that little tickle in your throat or just start to feel a little more tired than usual, please start  Dr Vincent Meddici's preventative regime. For most people that is 8 Nucleo Immune 3 times a day, at the onset of any immune stress. Nucleotides are backed by remarkable Swiss research over the past 15 years.They are a special nano-protein, and have been proven to have a spectacular effect on the immune system during the flu and cold season. In addition, many other benefits of nucleotides are being discovered.

The Quantum Nucleo-Immune is the first “nano-protein” delivery system devised to promote an instantaneous immune boost and increased vitality.  Although nucleotides are also found in literally all protein-rich foods, they are not very biologically available.  Quantum Nucleo-Immune is rich in nucleotides (which are nucleic acids derived from Saccharomyces boulardii) that have been purified, concentrated and specially processed to be highly biologically available. In addition, critical synergists, cofactors and essential transporters are all present to assure rapid uptake and utilization as well as efficient detoxification during the cellular repair process. During the cold and winter season, when you are feeling low, nothing strengthens the immune response and picks up your energy like Quantum Nucleo-Immune.

Benefits of Nucleotides in dramatic Swiss research have shown that oral nucleotides can help:

  • Promote new skin cell growth and rejuvenation
  • Boost your immune system*
  • Improve  circulation*
  • Stimulate the brain’s memory neurotransmitters*
  • Increase energy*
  • Slow the aging process*
  • Improve T-cell manufacture*
  • Neutralize internal toxins*

Nucleotides are tiny building blocks of RNA and DNA, which are the blueprints for every cell in your body. Each of your trillion plus cells contains 6 billion nucleotides. these building blocks are stored in a very limited quantity in your liver. Trauma, surgery, immune challenges, and other stresses, can rapidly deplete the body's stores of nucleotides. when depleted, rebuilding critical supplies of nucleotides to meet the bodys demands can take several days if not two weeks or more.

Nucleotides are fundamental nutrients like minerals which must be supplied from outside the body. They are found most abundantly in breast milk. No other mammal has nearly the concentration that is found in human breast milk. They are essential to a baby's brain developing immune system. When breastfeeding is not possible, a nucleotide rich supplement is recommended.

Nucleotides also help repair skin, this includes damage done to the skin and improvements in wrinkling.

Nucleotides may help us live longer healthier lives according to Dr Max Oden. Nucleotides have been used in Europe for years in supplements, in baby formula, and for astronauts  to  prevent immune stress, exhaustion, and help with  bone  and muscle concerns. They have been shown to help intestinal immune response and liver function. Studies have shown that they help T-cell  dependent immune response further supporting the use of supplementation.

D3 (try D3 Serum found here)

Population groups with greater direct sunlight exposure or more vitamin D3 exposure, were found to have stronger immune function than those with restricted sunlight exposure.*  Vitamin D3 receptors are known to exist on most immune cells and play a role in maintaining healthy immune cell maturity, differentiation and integration.*Use real live source D3!    Higher levels of vitamin D were correlated with healthy mood and mental function in two studies of more than 300 elderly people.*  Additionally, we now know that vitamin D receptors and vitamin D hydroxylation pathways exist in areas of the brain responsible for memory and cognition.*We could all use this help in the dead of winter.

Vitamin C (Try botanical Vitamin C found here)

We have all heard of taking vitamin C for a cold but what is the source you are using? Is it whole food nutrition or is it a a toxic synthetic?

Premier Vitamin C Complex is made from the richest source of natural vitamin C on earth: Camu-camu berries blended with additional non-hybrid natural vitamin C sources; it contains no synthetic vitamin C (ascorbic acid made in a test tube).

Beware! About 99% of all vitamin C products on the market today are synthetically made ascorbic acid or variations such as calcium carbonate, calcium ascorbate, or calcium citrate. Despite marketing claims, these laboratory produced powders are not natural source vitamin C. (See article Ascorbic Acid Is Not Vitamin C). Taking synthetic ascorbic acid can make the body more acidic over time and steals from the body's calcium reserve, resulting in poorer health.  Do not be fooled by products that advertise ascorbic acid along with rose hips or acerola. Only an insignificant amount is natural vitamin C. Many people have stopped taking large doses of synthetic ascorbic acid because they find that just 2 to 4 Vcaps daily of our Vitamin C Complex gives them more effective strengthening of their immune system, plus it is naturally energizing and mood-lifting. It has the additional benefit of being nonirritating to sensitive stomachs and bladders.
