ImmuneSelect
The immune system, which is made up of special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs, defends people against germs and microorganisms every day. In most cases, the immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing infections. But sometimes problems with the immune system can lead to illness and infection.
What the Immune System Does
The immune system is the body's defense against infectious organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and substances that invade our systems and cause disease. The immune system is made up of a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body and it is important to strengthen your immune system with additional supplementation especially at times when your immune system is susceptible to attack.
ImmuneSelect contains a combination of herbs, Echinacea, Goldenseal and Elderberry, blended with Vitamin C, Bioflavonoids (found in Elderberry), Vitamin A, Vitamin E, B Complex Vitamins (found in goldenseal) and important anti-oxidant minerals like Zinc and Selenium.
All the nutrients work together to boost the immune system, especially against cold and flu.
The use of herbs, vitamins and minerals that stimulate the immune system at the first sign of cold and flu can assist in minimizing symptoms, shortening the duration of the illness and reducing complications.

Echinacea is mostly used as an immune modulator to aid the body in fighting or preventing infections, such as the common cold, flu, and chronic infections such as respiratory and lower urinary tract infections. Echinacea may also strengthen human cell walls so bacteria and viruses have a harder time getting into cells.
Elderberry reduces the symptoms and duration of influenza infection when given within 48 hours of initial symptoms. Significant symptom relief occurs within 2 to 4 days of treatment for most patients. On average, elderberry extract seems to reduce the duration of symptoms by about 56%.
The anti-infective chemicals in goldenseal are effective against infections caused by bacteria and fungi.
