PREPARE YOUR CHILD'S IMMUNITY BEFORE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL
Discover Japan: the secret of rice balls
Do you know why so many children get sick in the first few weeks after school starts? The answer is simple: their immune systems are not prepared to cope with the "microbial shock" of returning to a group setting.
IN ADVANCE?
Japanese research shows that the immune system needs about 2-4 weeks to optimize its defensive functions. It is precisely during this period that:
- NK (Natural Killer) cells increase their activity
- Communication between different immune cells improves
- The immune response becomes more balanced and effective
Waiting until the start of the school year to take action is already too late! The body needs time to build up its defences.

THE JAPANESE PERSPECTIVE
In Japan, seasonal preparation of the body is a thousand-year-old tradition. The concept of "Shiki-Iji" (four seasons medicine) teaches that each transition between seasons requires the body to adapt.
The Japanese consider the end of summer to be a particularly critical period when the body must be prepared for the challenges of fall. This is why supplements made from mushrooms and fermented rice are traditionally consumed starting in August.
