Immune Support

In addition to serving as a delivery system for the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of waste material, the intestinal tract also plays important roles in maintaining healthy immunity and providing resistance to pathogens. The GI tract is populated by billions of cells of beneficial bacteria (probiotics) which help us digest and absorb our food, maintain a healthy intestinal pH (acid content), protect us from pathogenic bacteria, and provide an environment conducive to the continued health of the intestinal tract.* This formula offers a very high potency of powerful probiotics that can effectively intervene in acute gastrointestinal and immune conditions and or help support long-term intestinal health.*   Features: 12 probiotic strains from Danisco, a world leader in probiotic research and manufacturing. Very high potency at 100 billion viable cells per capsule. Bioenhanced Acid Resistant Strains (BEARS) ensures survivability in both low (acid) and high (alkaline) pH environments. The BEARS strains in this formula are designed to withstand the acid conditions present in the stomach during digestion without the need for an enteric coating. Danisco selects strains that have been cultivated under harsh conditions, and have developed the ability to adapt to extreme changes in the environment (“survival of the fittest”) i.e. pH, temperature. Probiotic strains are manufactured using a patented poly matrix preservation system, to preserve and ensure stability without the need for refrigeration. The prebiotic blend consists of FOS (food source for probiotics), and FiberAid®arabinogalactans (patented prebiotic from Lonza® that helps support the growth of probiotics).   Benefits: The 12 strains used in this formula have been studied for their ability to support gastrointestinal and immune health.* High potency formula helps to quickly reestablish healthy levels of probiotics in the GI tract.* Once established, a normal, healthy intestinal microflora helps to create an environment that is unfavorable for the growth of pathogenic bacteria.* Helps stimulate the growth of probiotics which have been diminished by the use of antibiotics.*   Ingredients

Women have specific needs when it comes to protecting the health of their bodies; particularly when it relates to maintaining healthy genitourinary organs. The health and integrity of the vagina, urethra and bowel are all heavily dependent on the micro flora which inhabits them. Lactobacilli bacteria, for example, are most abundant in the vagina and they provide a defense against the overgrowth of bad bacteria that can arise from the use of antibiotics, stress, excess sugar in the diet and other lifestyle factors. Therefore, ensuring a positive balance of these beneficial bacteria is of the utmost importance. Our Women’s Probiotic Formula is combination of proprietary Lactobacilli and Bifidobacterium blends that provide 15 Billion live cultures per capsule. Together these probiotic species have been shown to support healthy vaginal and urethral bacterial balance.*   Features: Strains used in the proprietary blends are exclusively from Danisco, a world leader in probiotic research and manufacturing.

Background: The adrenal glands produce hormones that support the biochemical and physiological mechanisms for dealing with mental and physical stress, and also secrete chemicals involved in nutrient metabolism and energy production.  Chronic anxiety, nervous tension and other types of stress may lead to an excess production of cortisol, a hormone involved in stress response.  Excess intake of stimulants such as caffeine and sugar can exacerbate stress and lead to adrenal “fatigue”.  The constant stimulation of the adrenal glands may eventually result in an abnormal stress response, low energy and poor immune function.  Our Adrenal Support formula is a synergistic combination of nutraceuticals designed to support healthy adrenal function.* Features: Siberian eleuthero root extract standardized to 0.5% eleutherosides, from India, a leading manufacturer of botanical extracts. Ashwagandha root extract standardized to 1.5% withanolides, a botanical extract manufactured by Sabinsa, a recognized leader in the manufacturing of botanical extracts. Russian source of Rhodiola rosea. This source of Rhodiola is standardized to 3% rosavins (the most efficacious component) and 1.5% salidrosides. Water-soluble vitamins B6, pantothenic acid and vitamin C. Ginger, licorice, astragalus, gotu kola and schizandra all have documented adrenal support functions.* Benefits: Tyrosine for the synthesis of adrenal hormones. The adrenal hormones epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (noradrenaline) are derived from the amino acid tyrosine and are required for energy production and stress response.* Eleuthero is known for its adaptogenic benefits, including managing fatigue and supporting healthy corticosteroid levels in response to mental and or physical stress.* Studies demonstrate the anti-stress, immune supporting and rejuvenating benefits of ashwagandha.* Rhodiola rosea is a premier adaptogenic herb.  Its effects include the support of healthy cortisol and energy levels, managing the negative effects of stress on the body and contributing to an overall feeling of well being.* Vitamin B6 helps to protect the body from the negative effects of glucocorticoid hormones such as cortisol, which is secreted during times of physical and mental stress.* Pantothenic acid and vitamin C have a supporting role in maintaining healthy adrenal gland function.* Licorice root, astragalus, gotu kola and Schizandra all provide a synergistic effect by supporting normal, healthy adrenal function and help the body better deal with the effects of stress.*   Ingredients

In addition, calcium ascorbate provides the body with calcium, an essential mineral for bone health. Here are some of the potential benefits of calcium ascorbate over ascorbic acid: Better absorption: Calcium ascorbate is better absorbed by the body than ascorbic acid, especially in people with low stomach acid. Less acidic: Calcium ascorbate is less acidic than ascorbic acid, making it more gentle on the stomach and less likely to cause diarrhea.

Astragalus membranaceus, more commonly known as Astragalus, or huáng qí, is an herb that has been traditionally used in Chinese Medicine for Centuries, and sometimes used through Intravenous(IV) Therapy in a hospital setting. Although there are about 2,000 varieties of Astragalus, Astragalus membranaceus, is one of the primary ones that are used for its benefits. Astragalus herb is traditionally used in its dried powdered form or as a strong decoction, made from boiling the dried root in water. The many phytochemical compounds found in specifically the Root of Astragalus, are believed to harness its various uses for potential health benefits.     Benefits:  Astragalus contains compounds & polysaccharides that may aid in boosting the immune system. In vitro studies have demonstrated that Astragalus promotes B-cell proliferation and antibody production and enhances CTL (Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes) activity. So it may suggest an immuno-stimulating effect. Contains Astragalosides (antioxidants), which support the integrity of the respiratory tract. In Chinese Medicine, one of its primary uses has been as a lung tonic, and may help in resistance against respiratory tract infections. Antioxidants found in Astragalus have been found to increase superoxide dismutase (Enzyme that helps break down potentially harmful oxygen molecules in cells) and decreasing lipid peroxide activity (Lipid Peroxidation Products depending upon their concentration, cause selective alterations in cell signaling, protein and DNA damage, and cytotoxicity, therefore potentially reducing the possibility). Astragalus has been used in Chinese Medicinal recipes for the aid of kidney disorders and its diuretic effect. Proteinuria is a condition in which abnormal amounts of protein are found in urine, a sign that the kidneys may be damaged or not functioning correctly. Astragalus was found to reduce and improve Proteinuria in several studies. May also aid in reduction of infection with individuals with decreased renal function.   Suggested Use: Take 1 Cap, 1-3 times per day or as directed by a health care professional. Label
