Astragalus [Immune, Circulatory] root has been used to promote immune function and as a tonic to build stamina. Ancient Chinese texts record the use of astragalus for tonifying the spleen, blood and chi.
 
Astragalus contains saponins, sterols, flavonoids, isoflavones and polysaccharides that have health-promoting benefits.
 
Astragalus root may stimulate the immune system in many ways. It promotes the production of stem cells in bone marrow and lymph tissue and encourages their development into active immune cells. It appears to help trigger immune cells from a “resting” state into heightened activity.

One study showed that astragalus root helps promote and maintain respiratory function. It also enhances the body’s production of immunoglobulin and stimulates macrophages. Astragalus can help activate T cells and natural killer cells.
 
Several studies also show that astragalus demonstrates heart benefits, including protection against oxidative cellular damage. The flavonoids, saponins and polysaccharides found in astragalus root help minimize free radical damage on membranes.
 
Each capsule contains 420 mg of astragalus root.

Take 2 capsules with a meal three times daily.

Garlic, High-Potency, SynerPro® [Immune]. The only problem with getting garlic into the diet has always been the distinct odor it leaves on the breath. Now it is possible to manufacture odorless garlic. The question is, does it retain the potency of fresh garlic? Studies have shown that it doesn’t.

Nature’s Sunshine offers you the finest and most potent garlic on the market with a special coating that helps control the garlic’s odor.
 
When broken open, these tablets have a strong garlic odor unlike “odorless” garlic products. Trade-secret processing and careful preparation of each tablet give NSP High-Potency Garlic a special locked-in freshness coating. It contains chlorophyll, which controls odor while assuring a long, effective shelf-life.
 
Because the tablet does not break down for absorption until it reaches the small intestine, you receive the full nutritional value of garlic without the undesirable taste.
 
Moreover, comparing total allicin potential (TAP) with other leading brands shows that Nature’s Sunshine leads the pack. NSP High-Potency Garlic is valued above all others for its great potency and superb quality.  One 400 mg tablet equals 1,200 mg of fresh garlic, roughly equal to one clove.

Adults: Take 1 tablet with a meal once or twice daily.
Children: take 1/2 tablet with a meal once or twice daily.

Description: Golden Seal [Immune] is native to North America. The plant has been largely overharvested and is periodically in short supply.
 
Its immune-supporting properties are largely due to its hydrastine, berberine and canadine alkaloids. It is said to help support the mucous membranes that line the respiratory, digestive and urinary tracts.
 
Because demand for the herb is high and supplies are low, golden seal is one of the most expensive herbs on the market. For this reason, many herb suppliers are tempted to adulterate supplies of golden seal with other herbs of similar chemical composition, such as Oregon grape.
 
However, only golden seal contains the alkaloid hydrastine.
 
Nature’s Sunshine boasts the technology and expertise needed to test golden seal for hydrastine—thus ensuring a pure, unadulterated supply of this valued herb.
 
Each capsule contains 500 mg golden seal root.

NOTE: Pregnant women should not use golden seal since it may influence uterine muscles.
