Pivot 8

Description

Astragalus contains compounds known as polysaccharides, which have been shown to stimulate the immune system by increasing the production and activity of white blood cells, such as T-cells and macrophages. These immune cells play crucial roles in identifying and neutralizing pathogens, thereby enhancing the body’s ability to defend against infections.

Chaparral is rich in antioxidants, such as nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), which possess potent antimicrobial properties. NDGA has been found to inhibit the growth of various bacteria, viruses, and fungi by disrupting their cellular processes, making it potentially effective in combating infections and supporting overall immune function.

Cat’s Claw (Una de Gato) contains compounds called oxindole alkaloids, which have immune-modulating effects. These alkaloids can help regulate the activity of immune cells, such as T-cells and B-cells, optimizing the body’s response to pathogens without overstimulating the immune system, thus enhancing its ability to ward off infections.

Olive Leaf is rich in polyphenols, particularly oleuropein, which exhibits strong antimicrobial properties. Oleuropein works by disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, inhibiting their growth and replication. Additionally, olive leaf extract has been shown to stimulate the production of nitric oxide, a compound that helps regulate immune function and promote the elimination of pathogens.

Cryptolepis contains alkaloids, such as cryptolepine, that possess antiparasitic and antimicrobial activities. Cryptolepine has been found to interfere with the DNA replication and protein synthesis of pathogens, thereby inhibiting their ability to proliferate and cause infections. Additionally, cryptolepis has been shown to stimulate the immune system by increasing the production of cytokines, which are signaling molecules involved in immune responses.

Elderberry is rich in flavonoids, particularly anthocyanins, which exhibit potent antiviral effects. These compounds interfere with the ability of viruses to infect host cells by blocking viral attachment and entry, as well as inhibiting viral replication and assembly. Additionally, elderberry stimulates the production of cytokines and enhances natural killer cell activity, further bolstering the immune response against viral infections.

Lemon Balm contains compounds, such as rosmarinic acid and flavonoids, that possess antiviral properties. These compounds interfere with the replication of viruses by inhibiting viral enzymes and interfering with viral protein synthesis. Lemon balm also exerts anxiolytic effects by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain, promoting relaxation and reducing stress, which can indirectly support immune function by mitigating the negative impact of stress on immune responses.

Licorice Root contains glycyrrhizin, a compound with potent antiviral and immune-stimulating properties. Glycyrrhizin inhibits the replication of viruses by interfering with viral attachment, entry, and gene expression. Additionally, licorice root contains flavonoids and triterpenoids that have been shown to modulate immune responses by regulating the activity of immune cells and cytokines, thereby enhancing the body’s ability to combat infections and reduce inflammation.
