Give Your Immune System a Boost – with Biotta

Biotta juices are an all-natural way to get the recommended number of fruit and vegetable servings. In addition, certain juices are specifically believed to boost the immune system.
Biotta Beet Juice
Beet juice is fresh, crisp, smooth and refreshing—and great for you! Beetroot juice contains betacyans, which strengthen the immune system. Beet juice is Biotta’s most popular juice, rich with natural minerals and vitamins. Many articles have been written about the benefits of beet juice, including some recent studies that have found that beet juice may reduce blood pressure. Beet juice also helps maintain cell functions and strengthens your body’s own natural resistance to disease.
Biotta Elderberry Juice
A recent study, cited in a PRWeb® press release** noted that some Americans, particularly young adults, are more prone to illness during the change of seasons. In addition to other measures, the article cited the benefits of elderberries in boosting immunity. Elderberries have twice the amount of antioxidants as blueberries and cranberries. Elderberry juice also supplies vitamin C to assist in the prevention and treatment of colds; it’s been medically proven as a strong anti-viral and immune system enhancer. Biotta’s Elderberry Juice is made from freshly gathered, sun-ripened organic elderberries and is available in an 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottle.
Biotta Carrot Juice
The benefits of drinking organic carrot juice are many. Carotene is an anti-oxidant that has health benefits that may positively affect a variety of conditions and diseases, including building the immune system.

Biotta’s Carrot Juice is available in 16.9 and 8.4 fl. oz. recyclable glass bottles. **

What is the Immune System?
WebMD gives this explanation:
In simplest terms, the immune system is a balanced network of cells and organs that work together to defend you against disease. It blocks foreign proteins from getting into your body. If a few happen to sneak by your biological sentry, not to worry. With a powerful "search and destroy" task force, your body deploys a host of additional immune cell forces designed to hunt down these unwanted invaders and ultimately works to destroy them.*
The good news is that you can make a difference and strengthen your immune system through healthy habits and good nutrition. You can bolster your body’s innate ability to manufacture antibodies that will counter harmful viruses and bacteria with which you come in contact.
