LYMA & Covid-19.

An update from LYMA.

In response to increasing worldwide demand for the lyma supplement, we would like to reassure both new and existing customers that we have sufficient stock in place to ensure uninterrupted supply.

We continue to work with our scientific network and global supply chain to bring you the latest scientific developments as they arise.

"Covid-19 is causing an enormous amount of illness and disruption. This is due to its high transmission rates, long incubation period, and the substantial numbers of people - 15 to 20% of those infected - who become ill enough to require hospitalisation. This last aspect is concerning as no health care system in the world has sufficient resources to cope with such an influx of seriously ill patients.

At the time of writing there are no specific treatments available. The only advice given is to avoid crowds, wash the hands frequently, and not touch the face. Some authorities recommend face masks and gloves; and we are increasingly being recommended to shelter in place.

But there may be more we can do to protect ourselves. Dysnutrition is common, due to our over-consumption of ultra-processed foods with little nutritional value. Supplements have a role to play in improving general nutritional status and general immunity. But we can take that further.

Chronic stress reduces immuno-competence and makes us more vulnerable to infection. Adaptogens such as Sensoril®Ashwagandha in LYMA have the ability to alleviate the damaging effects of stress and have been shown to improve immunity. So have our Wellmune® Blend's 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans, with many hundreds of studies showing that these natural compounds increase resistance to infection.

These are just two elements that may improve our chances in the difficult times ahead.”
