Bee Propolis is naturally formed by bees through the combining of resin from leaves, tree bark, pollen, nectar and wax. Its health capabilities have been known for over 2,000 years.
Today it is used as a natural, powerful antibiotic. It offers a boost for the immune system and helps stimulate the generation of antibodies. Not only this, but it is packed with nutrients. It has every vitamin except Vitamin K and it contains calcium, bioflavinoids, magnesium, zinc, and iron, totaling 180 different compounds. Propolis has been shown to be effective against harmful micro-organisms, including bacteria and viruses.
The flavonoids in propolis are known to be potent antioxidants, providing antiviral activity and helping to fight off free radical damage.
Beta Glucan, an immune system stimulant, works differently than many other immune system boosters. Some of the agents may over-stimulate the immune system, which can actually be counterproductive for those with allergies, yeast infections, or autoimmune diseases.
Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan by Vitabase boosts the immune system without over stimulating it. It does this through boosting the activity of macrophages, which help destroy harmful material and organisms in the body. This increased activity helps reduce infection and wound recovery time. Studies showed that Beta Glucan reduced the chances of infections forming around wounds.
Beta Glucan may also benefit those who suffer from allergies. It can also limit the progression of tissue damage in arthritis. It may help reduce LDL cholesterol and benefit blood glucose levels.
Candida albicans is a species of bacteria that is part of a normal functioning colon. The fungus itself is benign, but it can begin to overgrow and cause health problems. Stress, overuse of antibiotics, decreased immune system function as well as oral contraception can help spread Candida.
All systems of your body can be affected. Symptoms may include jock itch, vaginal infections, thrush or intestinal upset.
Candida Clear by Vitabase has been shown to help maintain a normal balance of Candida in the intestines. Four ingredients, Caprylic Acid, Pau d’Arco, Black Walnut and Oregano Oil, have demonstrated an ability to work together very effectively. Caprylic Acid is a fatty acid that is easily absorbed into the intestine and demonstrates high fungicidal activity.
Pau d’Arco comes from the inner bark of an Amazon tree. It demonstrates anti-viral and anti-microbial properties. It destroys fungi by boosting the supply of oxygen to body cells.
Based on one study, the hull and leaf of the Black Walnut did a better job at destroying Candida than a common prescription drug. Oregano Oil has been shown repeatedly to destroy Candida.
Immune System Defense provides powerful immune system boosters. It increases overall health, helps the body adapt to stress and fights infections. Immune System Defense combines some of the most popular immune system boosters into one formula.
Vitamin C is popularly known to help the body heal from colds. Too much stress can deplete your body of Vitamin C, resulting in a weak immune system. Ester-C®, a special form of Vitamin C, is easily absorbed by the body and more easily digestible.
If you are experiencing longer lasting and more frequent infections, you may be deficient in zinc. Zinc is necessary to support the immune system, and acts as an immune system booster through its stimulation of the thymus gland. This gland begins to shrink as we age and it produces fewer hormones that help fight off infections.
Astragalus root is popularly known as an adaptogen. This means that it can reduce mental and physical stress. It can also boost the immune system response. Elderberry has been used for many years to help maintain and boost the immune system. There are many natural doctors who hold that it can prevent the flu and colds. Elderberry has been known to reduce the duration of a cold to one or two days, if taken at the first sign.
