Deep immunity references that not only does it strengthen initial immune response via circulating white blood cells in the blood, but it also stimulates white blood cells in the lymph which are secondary and a deeper immune response. It strengthens the immune system, protects against microbial invasion and attacks microbes that have taken residence in the body. Immune Acute Complex can be used for those wanting to avoid getting sick or those trying to push an illness out of the body. It has broad- spectrum effects that stimulate immune activity, modulate the immune system, fight bacterial and viral conditions, and open up nasal passages. It is also an excellent tonic for those who are prone to getting colds and flu, and can be used in acute situations when the immune system needs an extra boost. It can also be used by those with chronic infections to strengthen and rebuild the immune system and protect against further immune breakdown. Astragalus, Maitake, and Shiitake are well known for their ability to stimulate deep immunity. They are great for those prone to getting sick or those who have chronic immune deficiency that needs support. Astragalus contains polysaccharides, saponins, flavonoids, and phytosterols which contribute to its immune enhancing affects. It increases the number of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue and encourages their development into active immune cells. One of the most active constituents in Maitake and Shiitake mushroom is believed to be a beta glucan polysaccharide that powers up the immune system. Beta glucan, which can also be derived from yeast, acts as a “biological defense modifier” to stimulate and modulate various immune responses. It has been heavily researched for its immune enhancing properties and its ability to activate macrophage immune cells, NK-Cells, T-Cells, B-Cells, and cytokines. A study from Harvard Medical School found animals treated with beta glucan were more resistant to bacterial, viral, and fungal inundation. Beta glucan treatment stimulated proliferation of white blood cells and increased phagocytic macrophage activity. A concentrated beta glucan extract is added to Immune Acute Complex to further increase the formula’s immune enhancing properties. Echinacea excites the immune system to fight off microbes before they dominate an organ system and create illness. Numerous studies show Echinacea to have positive effects for colds, flu, and upper respiratory tract infections. It stimulates phagocytosis and helps ward off oncoming infections. As a long-term tonic it can boost immunity and help rebuild a healthy immune response. Forsythia Fruit, Honeysuckle Flower, and Isatis Root are traditional Chinese herbs used to help the body to resolve illness and clear toxins. These herbs are powerful anti-virals and are extremely effective in the early stages of colds and flu. Licorice is added as an expectorant to thin mucus in the lungs to clear congestion. It brings down inflammation and soothes sore throats. Colloidal Silver has been used throughout history as an antibiotic and disinfectant. It destroys the enzymes responsible for oxygen metabolism in bacteria, viruses, and fungi, thus cutting off oxygen to these harmful pathogens and suffocating them. Colloidal Silver kills bacterial, viral, and fungal organisms upon contact, yet leaves the good bacteria in the body unharmed. Garlic also acts as a natural antibiotic and antiviral agent. It fights chronic or recurrent infections and is indicated for those with low resistance to infection. It has a long history of relieving the symptoms of upper-respiratory illnesses, and can bring down inflammation in the mucus membranes of the nose and throat. Eucalyptus Oil and Menthol Crystals are airborne aromatics added to the formula to clear the sinuses and open up breathing. Their soothing vapors stimulate the opening of respiratory and nasal passages, improving airflow and encouraging the release of mucus.

Product Reference Guide: Willner Chemists Phyto-Tech™ Herbal Supplements A stragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) and angelica sinensis (Dong Quai) improve running times. Chinese medicine uses these two herbal nutrients to boost energy and circulation. In this study, 36 men, aged 20 to 30, took a placebo or an extract containing 5,000 mg of astragalus with angelica sinensis per day, for 11 days. On the eighth day, the men ran 13 kilometers at maximum effort. Compared to placebo, the men taking the plant-based extract finished 12 minutes, or 14 percent, sooner. Iron levels were also 63 percent higher immediately after the race, and were still 31 percent above placebo levels 72 hours later. Doctors explained that hepcidin, a hormone that regulates iron, was suppressed in the astragalus-angelica group, allowing the runners higher iron levels, and accelerating recovery from the exercise. The men also had fewer signs of oxidative stress compared to placebo. (Reference: Nutrients; 2018, Vol. 10, No. 9, nu10091318; Published Online) Herbs Improve Running Speed T he adrenal gland in men and women produces the hormone DHEA, or dehydroepiandrosterone, which helps create other hormones including testosterone and estrogen. But naturally produced DHEA levels peak in early adulthood and slowly decline with age. In this study, 50 infertile premenopausal women, average age 41, took 25 mg of DHEA three times per day for a minimum of six weeks before starting any other infertility treatment. At the start of the study, and four to eight weeks later, the women completed a standard female sexual function index (FSFI) questionnaire. Overall, androgen hormone levels including DHEA and testosterone increased, and FSFI scores improved 7 percent. Individual attributes including desire, arousal, and lubrication increased 17, 12 and 8 percent, respectively. Among women who began the study with the lowest female sexual function index scores, overall improvement was 34 percent, with larger improvements in desire, arousal and lubrication, a 54 percent increase in orgasm, and less pain compared to pretreatment.
