Ingredients in Immunitone Plus and How They Support the Immune System
Echinacea (Echinacea angustifolia) – native plant of North America, was sidedly used medicinally by Native Americans. Its roots and aerial parts have been used traditionally for colds, respiratory infections, bacterial infections, and wound healing. The extracts possess antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunostimulatory properties.
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) – one of the most important and widely utilized adaptogenic herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Extracts made from the roots of Astragalus membranaceus have been shown to promote functions in both the innate and acquired immune responses. It also enhances mucosa immunity by increasing secretory IgA in the GI tract and has antiviral effects.
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) – also commonly referred to as European elder, is grown in most parts of Europe, North Africa, West Asia, and now the U.S. The flowers and berries of Sambucus nigra are most often used medicinally and contain a variety of flavonoids that have been found to possess biochemical and pharmacological actions such as anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-carcinogenic, antioxidant and immunologic properties.
Andrographis (Andrographis paniculata) – an annual herb that was regularly used for the common cold as part of traditional medicinal systems for centuries.
Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis)- has been standardized to contain 98% polyphenols and 45% epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg). EGCg is the most powerful bioactive constituent among green tea extract; it has been shown to be one of the most potent immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory flavonoids.
Larch Arabinogalactan (Larix laricina) – supports the immune system in several ways including enhancing beneficial gut microflora that in turn support the immune system. An essential part of a strong immune system requires a healthy digestive tract consisting of beneficial gut microflora.
Lauric Acid (LA) – saturated fatty acid primarily found in coconut oil, coconut milk, and palm kernel oil that has been shown to have antimicrobial properties.
Medicinal Mushrooms – a rich source of immune-enhancing compounds. Immunitone Plus contains extracts of cordyceps, shitake, maitake, and reishi mushrooms, each with their own immune supporting benefits.
Beta 1,3 Glucan – a soluble fiber derived from the cell walls of algae, bacteria, fungi, yeast, and plants, and is commonly used for its immuno-modulating effects.
