Why Immune Support Matters During the Holidays

The holiday season is full of travel, gatherings, late nights, and indulgent foods — all of which can place extra stress on the body. At the same time, cooler weather means less sunlight and more time indoors, where germs spread more easily. By proactively supporting your immune system, you can help reduce the chances of feeling run down and instead focus on enjoying the moments that matter most.

A Morning Ritual: Immune Boost Shot with AHCC®

One of the best ways to start your day strong is with a nutrient-packed wellness shot. This quick recipe combines immunity-supporting ingredients with AHCC®, a proprietary mushroom extract known for strengthening natural defenses.*

Immune Boost Shot Recipe

• ½ cup orange juice (fresh-squeezed if possible)

• 1 teaspoon grated ginger

• ½ teaspoon turmeric

• Pinch of black pepper (to enhance turmeric absorption)

• Optional: ½ teaspoon honey for sweetness

• 1 daily serving of AHCC® supplement (either open capsules and blend into shot or take it alongside to create a habit)

Mix all ingredients in a small glass. Drink it in the morning for a refreshing boost, and follow with your AHCC® supplement if you're taking it alongside the shot to give your immune system advanced daily support.*

Immune-Boosting Nutrition and Habits

Beyond a morning boost, consistent habits make all the difference for immune strength:

• Eat antioxidant-rich foods like citrus, berries, leafy greens, and mushrooms.

• Stay hydrated to keep your system functioning optimally.

• Prioritize sleep, since rest is when your body does much of its repair.

• Move your body daily, whether it’s a brisk walk, yoga, or strength training, to keep circulation and immune cells active.

These simple choices set a strong foundation for wellness, even during a busy season.
