About Herbs for Health Immune System Support
What ingredients are in Immune System Support?
The Immune System Support supplement was formulated with the four most beneficial, most trusted herbs for maintaining a healthy immune system. Each ingredient was carefully considered and chosen with better health and happiness in mind.
- Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea), derived exclusively from a species known as the Purple Coneflower, acts as the primary ingredient in Immune System Support. The plant has a long and honored history, especially within Native American cultures, and was once considered by many different tribes as a “cure-all”. In fact, results of archeological digs indicate that Echinacea was used as long ago as 400 years by Native Americans to treat infections and wounds. The herb’s popularity continued for the treatment of ailments such as bronchitis, diphtheria, congestion, acne, fatigue and more in the United States well through the 19th century, until the introduction of antibiotics brought a shift away from natural medicine.
Echinacea’s function in Immune System Support is to promote a healthy immune function, which works to support your body's natural ability to cope with seasonal illnesses. The herb is also known for its capacity as an antioxidant, which is used to maintain healthy cellular activity throughout the entire body.
- Astragalus root (Astragalus membranaceus) has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a chief energy tonic to stimulate a healthy “chi”, or life force. The root has been used frequently as an immune-support by encouraging normal levels of killer cells and interferon production.
- Larch gum (Arabinogalactan) belongs to an important family of arabinogalactans that are commonly found in certain plants such as radishes, tomatoes, pears and Echinacea to name a few. Immune System Support contains a special variety of arabinogalactans found only in the Western Larch tree, which research has suggested may have immune-supporting abilities.
- Maitake mushrooms (Grifola frondosa), indigenous to northeastern Japan, is also known in Japanese as the “dancing mushroom”. The mushroom’s primary use in Japanese and Chinese medicine centers is to nourish a healthy immune system, including support of our body's natural regulation of blood pressure, glucose and insulin levels.
