Nutritional Frontiers' Immune Herbal Tincture is a carefully crafted herbal blend designed to support immune system function.

Echinacea Angustifolia Root (Echinacea angustifolia) is renowned for aiding the body in recovering from acute infections. This wildflower, native to North America, was historically used by some Native American tribes to treat venomous bites. Echinacea activates white blood cells and may enhance interferon production, which is crucial for combating viral infections. It is particularly beneficial for those who are fatigued and have swollen lymph nodes. Recent studies suggest that echinacea is most effective at the onset of acute infections rather than for cold and flu prevention.

Astragalus Root (Astragalus membranaceus) is native to China and extensively utilized in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a Qi (chi) tonic. It is believed to act as an immune tonic, increasing bile flow to improve appetite and digestion, making it especially suitable for individuals in a weakened state. Astragalus is also used to treat hepatitis and as an adjunctive therapy for cancer patients.

Pau d'Arco Bark (Tabebuia impetiginosa) is a Latin American herb with potential applications for both acute and chronic illnesses, including infections and cancer. In vitro studies indicate its antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Indigenous peoples in Central and South America, as well as Caribbean healers, traditionally use pau d’arco for infectious diseases, wounds, and other health issues.

Cat's Claw Bark (Uncaria tomentosa) is another South American herb known for its traditional uses in treating rheumatism, intestinal complaints, and wound healing. In vitro studies suggest that cat’s claw bark stimulates immune function and has been clinically shown to improve symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Maitake Mushroom (Grifola frondosa), Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), and Shiitake Mushroom (Lentinus edodes) contain complex polysaccharides that enhance immune function and are traditionally classified as immune modulators. Reishi mushrooms are noted for their wide-ranging benefits beyond immune support, including lowering blood pressure and LDL cholesterol, and improving health outcomes for individuals with hepatitis B, cancer, and diabetes. Shiitake mushrooms have also been found to reduce the recurrence of genital warts and improve survival rates in some cancer patients.

Schisandra Berries (Schisandra chinensis), native to China, Russia, and Korea, are used as an adaptogen, helping the body adapt to stress. Recent research indicates that some lignans in schisandra may have immune-modulating effects.

Teasel Root (Dipsacus fullonum), introduced to colonists by Native American tribes, is traditionally used to break fevers. Animal studies have demonstrated its anti-inflammatory properties and effectiveness against Plasmodium falciparum, the malaria-causing parasite.
