OCTANE: Your Body's Ultimate Defence Shield
In a time where immunity and protecting your health is being discussed by everyone, it’s easy to forget that the first line of defence starts with what you ingest into your body. Unfortunately, we are right in the middle of a scary health pandemic that is completely out of our control. What is within our control is staying as healthy as possible during this time and improving our bodies' resilience to fight any diseases or viruses that we may come into contact with.
When we were creating Octane, the first physiological property we wanted to promote was immunity. Just like combat sports, it's important to think of the lines of defence when it comes to immunity.
The first line of defence includes physical and chemical barriers that are always ready and prepared to defend the body from infection. These include your skin, tears & mucus.
The second line of defence is a group of cells, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body. This is the immune system; and where CMBT’s range of nutritional products use specific ingredients to help boost the immune system.
One of these ingredients that you may not have heard about that is extremely effective in keeping your body firing on all cylinders is Cell Charge. Cell Charge is a fulvic acid blend that literally comes from the dirt. It’s an organic compound found in water and soil, made when plants and animals decompose. You’re probably thinking how could this be good for me? Read on to find out why this key ingredient could be the thing to keep you pushing through all the viruses and nasties that are currently going around.
You might not hear fulvic acid named quite as often as probiotics, fish oil, or kombucha for your health, but it’s extremely important for helping to boost the effectiveness of the immune system, aid digestion, detox, and protect your overall health.
Because we’ve depleted our soils (through pesticides, herbicides, and reusing the dirt for multiple crops without replenishing organic nutrients), our bodies are lacking the fulvic and humic acids they need for optimal health. Farmers used to reintroduce compost and organic compounds to the soil after a round of crops, in addition to rotating crops to ensure nutrients were getting back into the soil. This is more sustainable, better for the environment, and better for those consuming the crops grown.
Now, with commercialised farming, there’s no time to let the soil rest between crops. “Constant-cropping” in quick succession can lead to an overgrowth of detrimental pathogens, and a reduction in beneficial ones. In the end, this could mean more pesticides (to keep the bugs in line), less nutrients, and more chemicals in our food. (Chen) It’s a vicious cycle.
Octane contains a rich dose of fulvic acids found in a trademarked ratio known as Cell Charge. The biggest benefit of Cell Charge can be found in its immune-boosting properties.
