In an amazing dance, 20 trillion immune cells circulate throughout our bodies to kill bacteria, virus, yeast or cancer cells. Cells throughout the body duplicate all day at a blinding pace. When they are not copied exactly as they should be, an emergency call brings elements of your immune system to find and destroy these abnormal cells. For example, experts agree that most people get cancer, a proliferation of abnormal cells, about 6 times per lifetime. However, only one in three people will develop detectable cancer due to the surveillance of an alert and capable immune system.
Historically, natural "tonics" have been used to effectively stimulate the body to maintain a strong immune response necessary to inhibit the growth of many viruses and microorganisms. Often the benefits of these natural substances are mild, however, in combination the benefits can become significant - so significant that virtually all drugs were originally developed from natural substances until a later synthetic analog could be made in the lab.
A healthy immune system is our best line of defense against disease and the key to vibrant health. Herbal compounds have demonstrated effectiveness in supporting and strengthening the immune system. Our Defense formula combines some of the most efficacious herbs for support of the immune system.
