ImmuHerbs™ is a standardized herbal formula
consisting of arabinogalactan, elderberry, olive leaf, maitake mushroom and
garlic extracts. Arabinogalactan, supporting immune system
cells responsible for the body’s first line of defense. This fermentable
fiber contains the active polysaccharide also found in echinacea, as well as
promotes healthy production of lactobacillus and bifidobacteria in the
colon.* Elderberry, providing a rich source of
flavonoids, specifically anthocyanins, and quercetin for antioxidant and
immune support.* Olive leaf, also providing a rich source of
flavonoids, such as rutin, luteolin and hesperidin. These compounds act with
olive leaf’s main constituent, the glucoside oleuropein, to maintain a
healthy intestinal environment and beneficial microflora.* Maitake mushroom, containing 3% of the unique
polysaccharde beta-d-glucan for healthy macrophage activity.* Garlic, providing an odor-controlled aged
extract, is standardized to contain the stable sulfur compound scordinin and
other sulfur compounds such as diallyl sulphide and diallyl disulphide,
contributing to healthy immune system defense.* Immune Support: ImmuHerbs™ offers a
concentrated blend of immune-specific herbs providing flavonoids, unique
polysaccharides, glucosides, and sulfur compounds for wide-range immune
support.* This formula contains: arabinoglactan (Larix spp.)
extract, elderberry (standardized to contain 28% anthocyanins), olive leaf (Olea
europaea l.) extract (standardized to contain 17-23% oleuropein), maitake
