Highly purified herbal extracts are combined in this formula to promote the body’s natural defenses through various mechanisms. Arabinogalactan, derived from larch trees, is the active polysaccharide also found in echinacea. Immune system cells responsible for the body’s first line of defense are activated by arabinogalactan. As a fermentable fiber, arabinogalactan also promotes healthy levels of lactobacillus and bifidobacteria in the colon.

Elderberry is a rich source of flavonoids, specifically anthocyanins, and contains quercetin, providing important antioxidant and immune support.

Also rich in flavonoids, olive leaf extract contains 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 is a 4:1 extract that contains 3% of the unique polysaccharide beta-d-glucan and supports macrophage activity.

Garlic 100:1, 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 defense. One serving of ImmuHerbs provides the equivalent of approximately 25 grams, or one head of garlic.

For many people the principal source of Vitamin D is through exposure of the skin to sunlight. Cholecalciferol, also known as vitamin D3, is formed from 7- dehydrocholesterol in the skin after exposure to UV light. Unfortunately, due to risk of skin cancer, many individuals are limiting sunlight exposure or using liberal amounts of sun protective factors (SPF) in sun tanning lotions, both of which limit vitamin D production in the skin. In the body cholecalciferol is hydroxylated to calcifediol in the liver and then to calcitriol in the kidneys, which are the active forms of vitamin D. The active forms of vitamin D work with parathyroid hormone and calcitonin to regulate serum calcium and phosphorus concentrations.

Vitamin D deficiency causes increased parathyroid hormone activity, which acts to maintain serum calcium and phosphate concentrations, at the expense of skeletal calcium.
