Zamboost Immune Support Supplement

This is a sample packet of ZAMboost (original formula). It comes with 2 capsules.

Wonderin' what I've been up to this week?

Boostin' my immune system (and energy levels) with ZAMboost, that's what!

                        

  

     I have had the opportunity to try a few sample packets of ZAMboost, and also obtained some awesome ZAMboost merchandise (pictured down at the bottom).

                

    If you look closely, you can see one of the ZAMboost capsules sitting right on top of the packet. That's the actual supplement. I took a photo of it with the packet so you guys could see it.

What is ZAMboost?

ZAMboost is a supplement (comes in the form of a capsule) designed to support the immune system. Considering vitamin C, Lactoferrin and Beta Glucan are known immune system-boosters, and ZAMboost contains all three, their slogan "give your immune system a fighting chance " is suitable.

*The Lactoferrin in ZAMboost is from dairy milk, and the Beta Glucan from baker's yeast.  

- ZAMboost uses clinically-proven ingredients. 

-ZAMboost comes in a 5 day supply or a 30 day supply.

More about the ingredients and their benefits in ZAMboost:

Beta Glucan (from Baker's Yeast):

Beta Glucan supplements have shown to have benefits that could help high-stressed women stay healthy as well as reduce coughs and colds! It also showed a 58% reduction in symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection (after 12 weeks of supplementing).

Beta Glucan supplements have also been showed to result in mood and fatigue improvements for women. This according to America College of Nutrition.

Oh, and before you think Beta Glucan would be bad for those of us with IBS or candidiasis, think again. I wondered it myself, so I looked into it. Turns out, Beta Glucans can be beneficial in these cases! Apparently because they "stimulate neutrophils and macrophage activity throughout the body" they help with these conditions. That makes me want to take it even more.

 

It's also said to activaty "key immune cells," which would definitely be beneficial for our immune systems.

Natural Lactoferrin:

Here is a study on Lactoferrin, showing the benefits it has on the immune system on males.

Lactoferrin boosts the immune system and digestive system.  It protects from harmful microbes. Lactoferrin has show to increase the number of white blood cells -- the ones that fight infection, including infection cells of the immune system. 

Here's something else really interesting that I read about Lactoferrin:

 Many strains of pathogens need an environment rich in iron in order to reproduce. Lactoferrin decreases the availability of iron to bacteria found in the intestines. This in turn makes it to where the good bacteria (those that fight off the bad bacteria that causes us problems) can thrive.

Oh, and even more interesting, I also learned that when combined with other strains of the good bacterias (Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium -- those you see found in kefir and some yogurts), it increases the benefits of Lactoferrin! So, something to keep in mind (I know I will!) is that when coming down with a cold or something, it would be a great idea to take the ZAMboost supplements along with some kefir to boost things even more.

These ingredients in ZAMboost help prevent a virus' ability to attach to target cells, which means it prevents infection. 

P.S. if you really look into these ingredients, you'll find even more astounding benefits to them. It's all incredibly interesting, so go ahead and do some researching for yourself.

ZAMboost also contains Vitamin D3 and Vitamin C. 

The complete ingredient list: Vitamin C (as Calcium Ascorbate),  Vitamin D3 (as Cholecalciferol), Calcium (from Calcium Ascorbate), Proprietary Immuno Blend.

Supplement Facts for the ZAMboost original formula:
Serving size: 2 capsules 
(Per serving:)
Vitamin C:    1,000 mg

Vitamin D3:  2,000 IU

Calcium:      120 mg

Oh, and while I'm at it, I couldn't resist this one piece of lovely information I found on the ZAMboost website that's very impressive:

 "Our pills won’t win any beauty contests, but they are chock-full of pretty cool stuff. We resisted the temptation to make a flashy, orange and purple pill. This way you don’t ingest any artificial flavors or useless dyes." 

And there's more: ZAMboost capsules are vegetarian. The ingredients are:
Hypermellose, Gellan gum, Rice flour, Magnesium Stearate.

 Also, the capsule is made so that it won't break down as soon as it's swallowed. It actually passes through to your "gut," delivering the good stuff where it needs to be, and then dissolves. ZAMboost designed the capsules to "survive an acid bath" so that it successfully completes its mission in the body.

Zamboost capsules contain no glutens, soy protein, shellfish, eggs, added sugars, artificial coloring, lactose, preservatives or flavoring!
 

Now that's my idea of awesome. I despise the use of artificial dyes for profit because they actually can be harming us, so it's nice to find a product that avoids possibly harmful ingredients for our sake.

Serving size (ZAMboost original) is 2 capsules.

Below is ZAMboost supplement +Energy Boost. I'll explain the difference between this one and the original ZAMboost formula.

Again, you can see the capsule (ZAMboost Energy Boost & Immune Support Supplement) on the packet.

 As you may see on the packet there, it says "with natural Lactoferrin and Beta Glucan + Vitamin C: Credited with providing immune support to newborn babies."

The ZAMboost Energy Boost supplement comes with 3 capsules in a packet.

This one, the ZAMboost + Energy contains the same ingredients, same benefits as the original ZAMboost, but along with B vitamins and Taurine to help boost energy.

I have to say, I'm really fond of these! Of course I love the Original ZAMboost, but something that gives me a little energy is even more amazing in my eyes. I actually didn't even think this would really provide any extra energy for me. That is until I was up and going and thought "where did that come from?" After taking the ZAMboost energy supplement. I eventually remembered that I'd taken it and figured that's what gave me some pep. Kudos to ZAMboost for the energy benefit, too!

The ZAMboost energy supplement serving size is 3 capsules.

Per serving, it contains 1,000 mg Vitamin C

2,000 IU of Vitamin D3

20 mg of Niacin (B3)

10 mg of B6

400 mcg of Folic Acid

30 mcg of Vitamin B12

120 mg of Calcium

Some last thoughts about ZAMboost:

After learning what I have about the awesome ingredients in ZAMboost (and failing time and again with trying only Vitamin C supplements for immune-boosting), I think I'm going to make an effort to take ZAMboost for a bit longer periods of time.

The ingredients in ZAMboost are very new to me, someone who has experimented a lot with immune boost (and many other) supplements. The possible benefits of Beta Glucan have me even more interested. Plus, this is going to be my go-to for fighting colds when that time comes again.

I absolutely love the ingredients in the ZAMboost products, especially the ZAMboost + Energy Boost because it contains garlic extract, Beta Glucan, Rosea Root Powder, Grape Seed Extract, L-Taurine, Lactoferrin, Pomegranate fruit Extract, Acai Extract, Asian Ginseng Root Extract, Elder Fruit Extract.

The reason I love that is because those ingredients have some pretty fantastic health benefits and as I've said previously, Beta Glucan is great for your immune system and mood! Then there's the energy that I like too. There's so many benefits of these ingredients that I couldn't even list them all, but I encourage you guys to look into them!

A little about ZAMboost

ZAMboost was created by professional track athlete Shannon Leinert and her mother, Barbara Leinert as well as research biologist Pat Leinert Sr. (Barbara's husband and Shannon's father.)

Now, the ZAMboost merchandise:

Awesome large orange/purple ZAMboost water bottle -- that doesn't leak! And some stylish shades with bright orange "legs" that say "ZAMboost."

UPDATE (9/14/13)

I've been taking both the ZAMboost energy and ZAMboost original supplement this week. I've gone through 3 sample packets and apparently, I've been doing some other kind of healing that I wasn't even fully aware ZAMboost would do! 

Candidiasis. IBS. 

I've suffered severely with IBS/candida since my teen years. You guys know the details -- severely ill from it, finally began recovering 2 years ago and having a normal life -- due to the use of things like aloe vera and wheatgrass.

Well, I noticed the very day after I started taking ZAMboost that there were some minor changes in my digestive stuff. I won't go into too many details, but I will say that it sure seemed to do a lot of cleansing for me. And it hasn't stopped. Things just keep getting better and better & I'm pretty positive the ZAMboost is actually "cleaning" out the remaining Candida/IBS issues that were still lingering. Seriously, with everything I've tried over the years, I've experienced nothing like this.

Each day, I've been waking up feeling better and better. I thought maybe I was just having some weird spell of feeling great. I also thought perhaps my recent week-straight of oil-pulling had something to do with it. 

I got to looking into all the ingredients in ZAMboost and learning that almost every single one of them are very, very beneficial for those who suffer from IBS & candidiasis. ZAMboost does not make any claims to heal or treat these things, but with the massive changes & benefits I've been experiencing, I really couldn't go on and not share with you guys. I actually think taking ZAMboost could be extremely useful for candidiasis sufferers. Some of the things that I've notice:

- Sudden and complete "regulation" (digestive wise) I'm talking on the dot, same time each day! This leads me to think it would be extremely helpful for those with IBS-C (IBS constipation.) 

- Lots of digestive "cleansing" taking place. This happened quickly, too & very impressive!

-A strange sense of well-being. I've started feeling really good just all over. I don't think I realized just how much the remaining "bits" of these conditions were affecting me until now.

-Do some searching on the ingredients. Grape Seed Extract, for instance, is really good for candida. 

Candidiasis is an overgrowth of yeast, a fungus. Many of the ingredients in ZAMboost are very effective anti-fungals. 

I won't go on and on about this, but I figured I should mention these benefits as I noticed them just in case it could be helpful for someone else out there. As long as the ingredients are safe for you to take (no allergies or anything), then I would actually suggest other candida/IBS sufferers try ZAMboost. Like I said, I've only been taking it less than 6 days and have had quite the experience! If you guys are interested, I'll continue to update on how things progress. I definitely plan to continue taking ZAMboost.
