IMM Formula® is a blend of concentrated botanical
extracts and thymus extract for supporting immune system health.* Astragalus membranaceus extract and Ligustrum
lucidium extract, Chinese herbs used for centuries to support immune health
and to provide potential support for liver and kidney health.* Echinacea angustifolia extract, enhancing the
activity of various immune system cells and stimulating the production of
molecules that also act to support healthy immune cell responses.* Thymus extract, supporting the functioning of
the thymus gland, one of the immune systems’ key organs.* Support for Healthy Immune System Function:
Astragalus membranaceus, Echinacea angustifolia, and Ligustrum lucidum activate
defense system cells. Thymus extract supports the activity of the thymus gland,
a critical component of the immune system.* This formula includes Astragalus membranaceus
extract (root) (8:1), Ligustrum lucidium extract (root) (5:1), Echinacea
angustifolia extract (root) standardized to contain 4.0% echinacosides, and
thymus extract, derived from a pasture-fed, pesticide-free bovine source. Pure Encapsulations recommends 2-4 capsules per
day, in divided doses, before meals. If pregnant or lactating, consult your physician
before taking this product. According to the German Commission E monograph for
echinacea, people shouldn’t take echinacea if they have an autoimmune illness.
Those who are allergic to flowers of the daisy family should not take echinacea. At this time, there are no known adverse reactions
when taken in conjunction with medications. Yang YZ, Jin PY, Guo Q, Wang QD, Li ZS, Ye YC, Shan YF, Zhao
