Immune System Booster
- Natural Defense Formula

Your immune system is the most complex system in the human body; it is what guards you against illness from viruses, bacteria and disease. If it weren't for your immune system, every cold, flu or even a small cut on your finger could be fatal. It manufactures the antibodies needed to fight substances, which can cause disease and must be kept strong to do its job effectively. Age, poor diet, stress and external germs can weaken the immune system. Also, the nutrients found in foods for a healthy immune system are weaker due to environmental toxins in the air, water and chemically treated agricultural soils. IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTER combines proven effective Guaranteed Potency Herbs, herbal extracts and phytonutrients to stimulate the immune system and aid your body in fighting illnesses.
IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOSTER'S natural defense formulation combines herbs that boost immune system function, kills bacteria and helps your body adapt to the change of season.

What is in Immune System Booster?

Astragalus- enhances bone marrow, which is important in producing white blood cells. Our first line of defense against foreign microorganisms. Astragalus neutralizes toxins in patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

Echinacea- beneficial for reducing temperatures and improving circulation. It acts on the kidneys, the skin, and the bowels by opening them up and allowing for elimination of poisonous matter. It's a blood purifier and helps detoxify and pull waste out of the lymph glands.

Goldthread- fights bacteria in the body. Kills bacteria and fungus. (Related to goldenseal, goldenseal is an endangered plant due to over harvesting) goldthread supplies are not threatened and is just as effective.

Licorice- you may have enjoyed licorice candy, as a child the source of this candy is licorice root. Licorice is one of the oldest and most effective remedies for constipation in children. It helps increase the flow of saliva and mucus. It helps soften, soothe, nourish and lubricate the intestinal tract. Licorice is full of vitamins and minerals including vitamin E, phosphorus, B complex, biotin, niacin, manganese, iodine, chromium, zinc and lecithin.
Lecithin can be found in every living cell and the body cannot produce lecithin.

Ginseng- the benefits of Ginseng are widespread. In China Gin means "man" because of the herb resemblance to the human body. Seng means "slippery root". The Native American Indians considered the root sacred. Energy boosting, Ginseng improves endurance, respiration, consumption of oxygen, muscle strength and helps the heart stay healthy.

Ginger- provides adaptogenic support for increased stamina and energy. Ginger compliments licorice's action in the body.

Immune System Booster is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.


What are Standardized Herbs?

Standardized Herbs are more synergistic than isolates.
Isolates are single ingredients synthetically reproduced or extracted from herbal material. The rest of the plant is not used. However the full effectiveness of a Standardized Herb often depends upon the complicated interaction with other parts of that plant. Standardized Herbs retain their synergistic activity to provide maximum therapeutic effectiveness and prevent side effects naturally. Each tablet, regardless of its batch contains the same level of potency. Each dose is of equal strength. When you take a Standardized Herbal product, you know you are getting consistent, natural treatment.

Ten Ways to Help Keep Your Immune System Healthy:

1. Eat a low-fat high protein diet.
Your immune system relies on adequate protein in the diet to work properly. And studies show that consuming a low-fat diet may actually improve immune system function.

2. Keep your weight in check.
Being overweight places an extra burden on your immune system, and lowers levels of bacteria-fighting immune cells.

3. Avoid excess sugar.
Too much sugar actually impairs your body’s ability to produce specialized cells needed for immunity.

4. Avoid coffee and alcohol.
Heavy coffee and alcohol drinkers show lower levels of many important immune system cells.

5. Avoid toxic chemicals.
Exposure to toxic household products can lower your immunity. Instead, use non-toxic chemicals whenever possible.

6. Avoid stress. Studies show stress can be a causative factor in many illnesses.

7. Get plenty of rest.
When you’re asleep, your immune system goes into high gear, fighting off invading bacteria and viruses.

8. Drink lots of fluids.
Fluids help the lymph system filter and remove bacteria and viruses. Choose soups, herb teas and vegetable juices over sugar-containing beverages and fruit juices.

9. Take a multivitamin.
Many parts of the immune system, including the thymus gland, require adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals. These can be found in our BioVita vitamin and mineral supplement.

10. Supplement with immune supporting herbs.
Herbs such as Echinacea, Astragalus, Goldthread, Licorice and Ginseng have been shown to boost immune system function as well as directly attack viruses and bacteria. These are all found in Immune System Booster by BioGreen.
