Description

A Comprehensive Immune Support Formula

Physician-formulated EHB contains a proprietary blend of immune enhancing botanicals (whole plant parts and extracts for maximum support), vitamins, minerals and other natural ingredients that have been shown through a long history of use in clinical practice to help strengthen immune function.

Vitamin A increases resistance to infection by enhancing white blood cell function and beta-carotene is an immune-enhancing antioxidant. Vitamin C is an antiviral and antibacterial immune booster that also has antioxidant activity. Stress and illness quickly use up this water-soluble vitamin when our bodies need it most. Citrus bioflavonoids enhance absorption of Vitamin C and they work synergistically making them more effective than when taken alone. Vitamin B6 is an important nutrient for the thymus gland, part of our immune system. The mineral zinc also enhances immune function.

EHB also contains the proteolytic enzyme bromelain. It can help to break up protein-based antigens that can cause allergies and it is effective against E. coli and Candida albicans. Bromelain also reduces inflammation and is very helpful for sinusitis.

EHB stands for echinacosides, hydrastine and berberine. Echinacosides are antibiotic phenols found in various species of Echinacea. Hydrastine is an alkaloid present in goldenseal that is useful for inflammation of mucous membranes. Berberine is another alkaloid obtained from goldenseal as well as Oregon grape and other plants. It has antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial activity.
