Detailed Ingredient Descriptions:
Andrographisis an herb found throughout india and Asian countries. it has been valued for centuries by herbalists as a treatment for upper respiratory tract infections, fever and sore throat. in the past decade, extensive research has been conducted on androg- raphis as both a preventative herb and a treatment herb for the common cold it has been nicknamed 'indian Echinacea'. As a preventative for the common cold, studies show that andrographis may increase the body's resistance to infection by stimulating the production of antibodies and macrophages - large white blood cells that scavenge foreign matter. the major constituent, andrographolides, are known to possess strong antiviral activity. in a three month trial involving 107 students, 54 of the participants took 100mg of andrographis twice daily, while the remaining students were given a placebo. At the end of the trial, only 16 students in the andrographis group experienced the signs of a cold, compared to 33 in the placebo group.
Reishi mushroomalso known as Ganoderma lucidium, is a medicinal mushroom that has been used in Japan and china for thousands of years for enhancing the immune system.Active constituents from reishi mushrooms are primarily polysaccharides including beta- glucans and triterpenes. reishi constituents seem to have a variety of pharmacological effects including immune modulating, antiviral and antibacterial effects.
Vitamin Cis effective for treating and preventing colds and that has been demonstrated by many studies. Vitamin C, at doses of 200 mg or more at the beginning of a cold, has been shown, in some cases, to reduce the severity of the symptoms of a cold. furthermore, daily intake of vitamin c, at 200 mg or more, has been linked to reduced incidences, dura- tion and severity of the common cold. Studies have also shown a preventative effect, in a combination formula of vitamin c and echinacea, on upper respiratory tract infections.
Echinaceais widely recognized for its immune-stimulating properties and its ability to support and promote the body's own resistance to infections (colds and the flu). tra- ditionally, echinacea was used to fight off colds and the flu and to help relieve sore throats. Studies have shown that this herb can also help promote a faster recovery from illness. Several trials have shown that people who take echinacea as soon as they feel sick, reduce the severity of their cold and have fewer symptoms than those who do not take the herb. one study of ninety-five people with early symptoms of cold and flu (such as runny nose, scratchy throat and fever), found that those who drank several cups of echinacea tea every day for 5 days felt better sooner than those who drank tea without echinacea.
Astragalushas been used in traditional chinese Medicine for thousands of years to strengthen the body against disease. Astragalus is used to support the immune system and combat colds and upper respiratory tract infections. it contains antioxidants which protect cells against damage caused by free radicals (by-products of cellular energy and infection). in addition, studies have shown that astragalus has antiviral properties and stimulates the immune system, suggesting that it is effective at actually preventing colds.
American ginsenghas a long historical use in traditional chinese Medicine. it has been considered especially helpful to the immune system in cases of fever or infectious disease accompanied with a fever. it is also traditionally used to support the lungs and to treat coughs. Several clinical studies demonstrate that american ginseng has immune-stimu- lating effects and improves the function of cells playing a role in immunity.
Zincis an important element that is found in every cell in the body. More than 300 enzymes in the body need Zinc in order to function properly. Mild zinc deficiency is very common and is associated with a decrease in immune system functioning. the NHPd recognizes zinc as an important factor in the maintenance of immune function.
Combination Rationale
cold-Pro immune formula is an all natural antiviral formulation that helps to boost and strengthen the immune system and reduce the duration and symptoms of colds and flus. the most effective and natural way to prevent colds and flus is to strengthen your immune system, adopt a healthy lifestyle and practice good hygiene. canPrev's cold-Pro immune formulaTM combines the immune building herbs of echinacea, astragalus, american ginseng and andrographis which also offer antiviral and antibacterial properties. reishi mushroom in the formulation helps strengthen the immune system and activate t-cells and Natural Killer cells. important immune nutrients such as vitamin c and zinc are also included to maintain proper immune function.
consumers spend billions of dollars each year on over-the-counter cold and flu medicine, yet none of these drugs or remedies address the underlying factors (a weak immune system) that make people so susceptible to the viral infections that cause colds and flus. While over-the-counter drugs help treat cold symptoms, people often remain sick until their bodies' natural immune system rallies to overwhelm the infection.
Healthy immune function is not only critical to a rapid recovery from common viral in- fections, but also determines how resistant people are to contracting infections. When the immune system functions optimally, people are less likely to be infected by the countless bacteria and viruses to which they are exposed each day. taken as a preven- tative, cold-Pro immune formulaTM helps to enhance the immune system so that colds and flus do not get a foothold in the first place!
