Wellness Formula : Bio-Aligned Formula Contrary to popular belief, there is no magic bullet to protect you during the cold weather season. WELLNESS FORMULA is effective because it addresses multiple systems that impact immune and upper respiratory health. Immune System The immune system is a series of interlocking functions, tissues, and cells that protect your health by responding quickly to outside influences. Immune system components addressed include the skin and mucous membranes, cellmediated immunity involving T-lymphocytes and thymus support, and humoral immunity consisting of B-lymphocytes and macrophage interactions. Astragalus, boneset, echinacea, isatis, propolis, selenium, zinc, vitamins A & C, and beta carotene all support the immune system. WELLNESS FORMULA : A Bio-Aligned Formula Multi-System Immune Support Immune System Respiratory System: Cleansing Mucous Membranes Respiratory System: Clearing Mucus Stress Response Mechanisms Antioxidant Defense Astragalus, Boneset, Echinacea, Isatis, Propolis, Selenium, Zinc, Vitamins A &C, Beta Carotene Astragalus, Echinacea, Garlic, Goldenseal, Isatis, Mullein, Oregon Grape, Pau d Arco, Propolis, Copper, Zinc, Vitamins A & C Angelica, Cayenne, Goldenseal, Horehound, Mullein, Oregon Grape, Polygonatum Siberian Ginseng, Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin C Astragalus, Bioflavonoids, Hawthorn, Pau d Arco, Selenium, Zinc, Vitamins A & C, Beta Carotene
Respiratory System Cleansing Mucous Membranes Our nasal passages, sinuses, throat and bronchial tubes are protected by moist mucous membranes, which are the first line of immune defense. With nutritional support, these membranes protect us and cleanse the body of outside influences. Herbiotics also help cleanse mucous membranes. Astragalus, echinacea, garlic, goldenseal, isatis, mullein, Oregon grape, pau d arco, propolis, copper, zinc, and vitamins A & C all support mucous membranes. Respiratory System Clearing Mucus Herbs including angelica, cayenne, goldenseal, horehound, mullein, Oregon grape, and polygonatum support the clearing of mucus. Stress Response Mechanisms Science now shows that emotional and physiological stress significantly impact the immune system. WELLNESS FORMULA supports our bodies overall response to stress. Siberian ginseng is an adaptogen whose key constituents, saponin glycosides, support the body s stress response. The herb astragalus, and the minerals calcium and magnesium also support stress response. Antioxidant Defense While carrying out their immune functions, white blood cells generate free radicals, highly reactive molecules that can damage the very white blood cells that produce them. Vitamin C, a free radical scavenger, is concentrated in certain white blood cells, providing them with a built-in defense mechanism. Bioflavonoids act as cofactors that complement the action of vitamin C. Additional antioxidant support is provided by vitamin A, beta carotene, copper, selenium, hawthorn and pau d arco.

Cold & Flu Season: Healthy Lifestyle Tips Wash Your Hands! A study evaluated the impact of a one-hour educational session on handwashing for staff members of senior day-care centers. Attendees experienced significantly fewer winter health difficulties. Handwashing for 10 to 15 seconds with soap and water reduces the spread of germs. Eat Your Veggies Skip the Sugar: Studies show that eating regular meals and lots of green vegetables is associated with a stronger immune response by white blood cells. Conversely, consumption of simple carbohydrates and sweets decreases white blood cell activity. So eat your greens and go easy on holiday treats! Early to Bed, Early to Rise: Two studies with healthy volunteers demonstrated suppressed immune function after one night of modest sleep deprivation. The activity of certain white blood cells and the production of chemicals essential for immune system performance significantly decreased. Most U.S. adults get less than seven hours of sleep per night during the work week, while research has determined that certain parameters of immune function are enhanced by more than seven hours of sleep. Stress, Conflict and Emotional Support: Stressful situations drain our energy and emotions. Science now shows that our immune systems and physical health are also affected. A supportive approach to resolving conflicts and a strong social/emotional support system ameliorate the impact of stress. Exercise and Immune Function: Moderate exercise is good for your health. Studies examining the effect of brisk walking for 30 minutes daily showed that active subjects had fewer winter illnesses than inactive subjects.
