Key Ingredients:
Echinacea Angustifolia
The exact mechanism of E. angustifolia's effect on the mucosal membranes has not been fully understood until recently. Research conducted by Gaia Herbs and several institutions and Universities has elucidated compounds that have restructured our understanding of how Echinacea works. These compounds are called RxA Factors and represent the alkylamide fractions known as isobutlyamides. RxA Factors are found in the roots of E. angustifolia and purpurea and also in the mature ripe seed of E. purpurea. RxA Factors help maintain a healthy inflammatory response. RxA Factors supports the tissues of the sinuses and throat that are exposed to airborne stressors and help support an acutely challenged immune system.
Astragalus
There is a great deal of research interest in Astragalus. The triterpenoid sapponins known as astragalosides support the integrity of mucous membranes and epithelial cells in the respiratory tract through an antioxidant mechanism. The polysaccharides are of particular interest for their immune supporting properties. It also supports deep immune function by promoting normal levels of specific immune cells and aids in their function. It appears especially effective when immune function is stressed by environmental or endogenous challenges.
Maitake Mushroom
Maitake mushroom is thought to exert its effects on white blood cells and other immune inhancing substance to improve the body's ability to fight illness. There is some evidence that it can lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, lower blood sugar levels, and reduce weight in rats, but this has not been shown for humans yet.
