Simple ways to support your Immune system in with Wellmune®

This is a sponsored post written in collaboration with Wellmune® through Maverick Mindshare.

With the start of a New Year I’m sure I’m not the only one looking to be the healthiest, happiest version of myself possible, especially during these uncertain times when we are all so aware that health really is everything. Although I do not make New Year’s Resolutions, as a busy Mum of five, I decided that 2022 is the year I try my hardest to take care of myself both mentally and physically and support my immune system in as many ways as I possibly can. One thing I’ve been learning more about is yeast beta glucans and it turns out it’s easier to incorporate them into your diet and lifestyle than you might think!

What is yeast beta glucan?

Yeast beta glucan is a powerful immune-supporting ingredient found in many functional foods, beverages and supplements which makes it easy to get clinically supported immune health benefits during your day.

How do they work?

Yeast beta glucans work by priming your immune cells to be ready for action. What they don’t do is boost your immune system and, contrary to what you’ve previously heard, that’s a good thing. Whilst you may think that boosting your immune function will help the immune system respond more efficiently, the opposite is often true. A boosted immune system can overstimulate the immune response which then throws it out of balance, and affects many systems regulated by the body. Instead, I prefer to think of yeast beta glucans as helping my immune system to stay primed and ready to fight off foreign challenges.

Are all yeast beta glucans the same?

Absolutely not, and this is where it becomes really important to make sure you look for yeast beta glucans supported by research. Wellmune is the only yeast beta glucan of its kind backed by clinical studies that demonstrate not only its efficacy, but also its safety. These studies have shared the benefit of Wellmune for people right across the board, from children right through to older adults, and is the top class yeast beta glucan with consumers in the UK and Ireland.

How do I incorporate Wellmune® into my daily routine?

The great thing about incorporating Wellmune into your daily routine is that not only is it easy to do, but it’s a proactive step to supporting your immune system health. I’m sure we all know that eating a healthy diet, taking exercise, drinking more water and getting 8 hours sleep helps us all to feel better but due to various reasons, that isn’t always possible to do. For me, as someone who suffers with insomnia and chronic illness, a lack of sleep and an inability to exercise at times can make it very difficult for me to maintain a daily routine and so I am always looking for ways to support this. And for my children, particularly with Harry being such a fussy eater, I can’t always rely on their diet to give them everything they need, so a simple, fuss-free addition to their daily routine is a huge bonus! 

Wellmune can be found in products such as bars, immunity shots, protein powders, supplements, gummies, fruity waters and much more which means there is always a way to incorporate this into your day. Whether it’s taking a supplement in the morning before breakfast, a snack bar in your handbag for on the go, a protein shake after a work-out, or an immunity shot before bed, whatever your routine, and no matter how busy your lifestyle, it’s very easy to take the time to support your immune system this way.

Where do I find Wellmune® products?

You may discover that the products you use already contain Wellmune, just search “Wellmune” on the ingredient label or look for the logo on your favourite food, snacks, beverages and supplements. Once you’ve familiarised yourself with the logo it’s easy to seek out products containing Wellmune on your grocery shelves and when shopping online.

I’m hoping that 2022 is the year I maintain consistent wellness practices, even whilst juggling work and the kids and everything else that comes with being a grown up and fend off the stresses of everyday life. I think we could all do with that extra support, don’t you?
