History and use of Immune System Defense:

Immune System Defense is a revolutionary formula, bringing the most widely used immune boosters into a single formula. This formula is great for teachers, health care workers and others who are always around groups of people with colds or other illnesses.

Vitamin C is great for helping the body fight off colds. Stress can greatly reduce the amount of vitamin C your body has available which in turn results in a weakened immune system. Vitamin C increases white blood cell production and is important to immune system balance. Ester-C is a specialized form of Vitamin C, which is more easily absorbed by the body and less likely to cause stomach irritation.

Zinc deficiency makes you prone to getting more frequent and longer lasting infections of different kinds. It is essential for a healthy immune system acting as an immune booster, partly by stimulating the thymus gland. As we age the thymus gland starts to shrink and produce less of the hormones that boost the production of infection-fighting white blood cells. Women will also find zinc beneficial in fighting yeast infections.

Astragalus root is an adaptogen. Adaptogens help the body adapt to physical and mental stresses. They are also known to enhance the immune response. Astragalus helps the body function at its best level. It has been shown to stimulate production and activation of the white blood cells, which fight infection. It is highly recommended for preventing and alleviating colds and flu.

Elderberry has been used to help strengthen and maintain the immune system. Many natural practitioners believe it can help prevent colds and flu. When taken at the first sign of a cold it will generally reduce the time of the infection down to one or two days. Elderberry helps the immune system by providing additional amounts of vitamin C, fruit acids and traces of essential oils and anthocyanic pigments.

Cat's claw is an important botanical herb from the rain forest and is used to enhance immunity. Suma also comes from the rain forest and, like astragalus root, is an adaptogen.
