Herbal Extracts Plus has combined three of the finest all-natural medicinal extracts in an effective herbal product called Immunity Boost III, using only premium quality plant extracts. Echinacea Purpurea, Astragalus Root and Reishi Mushroom have been carefully selected as exceptional immuno-stimulants – herbal supplements that specifically target the body's resistance to infection and invasive disease. The immune system is a complex one whose chief function is to identify and eliminate destructive foreign substances, such as harmful bacteria and viruses, etc., before they damage healthy cells and cause disease and illness. Because germs are the cause of many disorders, strengthening the body's ability to fight against bacterial and/or viral infections will not only help repel disease, but also to recuperate more efficiently. When our resistance is low, we feel fatigued with little energy, and even our immune systems seem too depressed to combat colds, flu and other, more serious conditions. Many researchers say that a hardy system may be able to resist invasions and microbes that weaker host systems may not, so if you wish to enhance your body's resistance to illness, don't wait for infection to happen. Build your immunity, stamina, energy and general good health with Immunity Boost III now! Your body will thank you for it.

Purpose of Formulation:
The all-natural plant extracts in Immunity Boost III support the immune system's ability to resist infection and disease by either destroying viruses and bacteria or increasing the ability of important antibodies and immune cells that engulf and destroy unhealthy cells to prevent invasive disease.

Ingredients:
A mixture of 60% Echinacea Purpurea (4% Total Polyphenols), 20% Astragalus Root (0.3% Astragalus), and 20% Reishi Mushroom (10% Polysaccharides)

Thought to be Nature's best immune system enhancer, Echinacea Purpurea is believed to be the most powerful natural antibiotic. It helps stimulate the body's resistance to infection, diseases, fever, blood poisoning, common colds and flu. Echinacea Purpurea works by helping to crank-up the immune system to ward off disease and infection. There is evidence that it may mimic the action of interferon, a natural chemical in the body that is capable of shielding cells from viral invasion. Considered an antiviral and antibacterial, Echinacea not only kills bacteria and viruses but also actually strengthens immunity by increasing the number of white blood cells in the blood stream.

Astragalus Root promotes resistance to disease and is said to help strengthen and restore normal immune function in seriously debilitated patients. Researchers claim that the herb appears to increase the production of the body's T-cells (white blood cells), which attack the invaders that cause disease, and seems to protect healthy cells while defending against unhealthy cells. Astragalus works to increase the body's level of antibodies and interferon (the protein compound that slows the course of viral infection) in the body and is said to be useful in treating immune-deficiency related problems, including the debilitating effects of AIDS, by stimulating the activity of T-helper cells that are depleted by AIDS. The herb acts as a tonic that protects the immune system and is said to reduce the number of colds and flu by protecting against infection or at least shortening their duration.

Reishi Mushroom is believed to be a powerful immune system stimulant that wards off many types of diseases by enhancing the activity of key immune cells known as T-helper cells or CD4 cells. It should also be mentioned that Reishi does not produce some of the negative effects associated with the use of antibiotics, which can often stop the invasion of microbes, but will further weaken the immune response after continued use and are also ineffectual in cases of viruses, pollens and malignant cells. Reishi Mushroom is used in alternative medicine as a tonic that will not only improve vitality, but it is also thought to strengthen internal organs and normalize body functions. It is considered an “adaptogen,” an herb that maintains health by increasing the body's ability to adapt to environmental and internal stress, restoring optimum health, and generally works by strengthening the immune system. Reishi apparently does not simply stimulate the immune system, it regulates it. If the immune system is excessive, as in the case of auto-immune ailments and allergies, Reishi can have a significant positive influence. If it is deficient, as in cases of colds, flu, chronic fatigue syndrome or hepatitis, Reishi activates the immune response. Reishi Mushroom has shown particular efficacy against wasting and degenerative conditions, such as the effects associated with the AIDS virus in laboratory tests. Researchers claim that Reishi Mushroom stimulates the body's production of interferon and interleukin-1 and -2, which combat several types of serious health conditions, and the polysaccharides activate macrophages (immune cells that are our first line of defense against intruders). They attack unhealthy cells but not healthy ones. (Click here for more information on Reishi Mushroom)
