Herbamune is a complex herb, vitamin, and mineral formula designed to support the immune system. Includes Echinacea, Astragalus Root, Odorless Garlic, Reshi mushroom and much more. Herbamune's Ingredients scientifically proven to support the body's immune system to promote overall health and wellness.

 

The immune system is an intricate network of cells, organs, specialized tissues, and chemicals. The lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, thymus gland, and tonsils all play a role, as do antibodies as well as specialized white blood cells known as natural killer cells (NK cells), T cells, and B cells (collectively known as lymphocytes).

 

Two types of immunity protect the body; innate and adaptive. Innate immunity provides the first barrier against microorganisms and is present at birth. The skin, mucus, and stomach acids are examples of innate immunity that keep unwanted germs, viruses, bacteria, and parasites from vulnerable tissues. Adaptive immunity is acquired throughout life, such as after immunizations or successfully fighting off an infection.

 

Symptoms of decreased immune function include frequent colds and flus, recurring parasitic infections, infections that escalate from mild to serious, as well as infections that are usually well controlled by a healthy immune system. Dietary and health factors also affect immune function. For instance, all forms of sugar interfere with the ability of white blood cells to destroy bacteria; studies suggest diets high in sucrose (table sugar) impair immune function. Alcohol intake, including single occurrences of moderate consumption, also interferes with a wide variety of immune defenses. Moreover, excessive thinness and obesity are associated with impaired immune responses.

 

Product Ingredients

 

Vitamin A

Vitamin A, helps cells reproduce normally, a Vitamin A deficiency impairs innate immunity by threatening regeneration of protective cells and organs damaged by infection. Vitamin A also plays a role in adaptive immunity because a deficiency diminishes the body's ability to produce anti-bodies which fight infection.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant and cell protector, stimulates the immune system by both elevating and enhancing the activity of certain immune cells. A review of 20 double-blind studies concluded that Vitamin C, when taken at the onset of a cold, significantly reduces the duration of a cold.

Vitamin E

As an antioxidant that protects cell membranes and other fat-soluble parts of the body, Vitamin E also enhances some measures of immune-cell activity. A preliminary study recorded improved immune function when a combination of antioxidants Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E were taken together, specifically improving immune cell numbers.

Riboflavin

Riboflavin (also known as Vitamin B2) is needed to process amino acids and fats, activate Vitamin B6 and folic acid, and help convert carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is the fuel the body runs on. In some instances, Riboflavin can also act as an antioxidant.

Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential mineral to the human body. It is needed for bone, protein, and fatty acid formation, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting blood, forming ATP, and making new cells.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential mineral and is needed to boost immunity among its many other functions. Zinc interferes with viral replication and therefore may interfere with the ability of viruses to enter cells of the body, may help immune cells to fight a cold, and may relieve cold symptoms.

 

 

Selenium

Selenium is an essential trace mineral which supports healthy immune function. One double-blind trial demonstrated that selenium, when taken with zinc, boosted immunity health by reducing infections. Studies suggest that trace minerals such as selenium may be the most important micronutrients for enhancing immunity and preventing infections.

Echinacea

Studies have found that echinacea stimulates the function of a variety of immune cells, particularly NK cells. Evidence from studies also suggests that echinacea speeds recovery from the common cold through immune stimulation (as opposed to killing the cold virus directly).

Astragalus

Complex polysaccharides present in astragalus appear to act as an immunomodulator. Immunomodulators possess the natural ability to increase the body's production of messenger cells that regulate the immune system. The overall effect is a more efficient immune system. Studies on astragalus indicate that it can prevent white blood cell numbers from falling in people given chemotherapy and radiotherapy and can elevate antibody levels in healthy people.

Garlic

Recently, garlic has demonstrated powerful immune-boosting qualities and has been shown to aid the process of phagocytosis in which white blood cells engulf (or eat) invaders.

Korean Ginseng

Panax ginseng, commonly known as Korean or Chinese ginseng, is a member of the Araliaceae family, which also includes the closely related American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) and less similar Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus), also known as eleuthero. Research suggests that ginseng supports the adrenal glands, thymus and spleen (thus boosting immunity).

Eleutherococcus senticosus (Eleuthero)

Common names for this herb include Siberian ginseng, Touch-me-not, and Devil’s shrub. Eleuthero has been shown to improve athletic performance, stimulate the nervous system, enhance memory and concentration, as well as support immunity health.

Reishi Mushroom

Though used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for at least 2,000 years, only recently has reishi mushroom received much attention due to its apparent immune-enhancing activities. Studies have shown that reishi may transform many components of the immune system including NK cells. Moreover, one study concluded that reishi's effect on such immune-related cells as T and B cells yielded further evidence that reishi's value comes from it's ability to enhance immunity response.

 

Recommended Dosage

Take 2 capsules daily.
