Esberitox

Research has shown that the Esberitox combination provides a broader range of activity than any individual component alone.† This additive effect is produced via the actions and interactions of the concentrated botanical extracts. Although the activity of the individual components overlap in some way, each herb is unique in how it enhances immune function.†¹

The following table summarizes the key benefits of each ingredient:¹

Ingredient	Benefits
Echinacea purpurea and pallida	Increase interferon production† Stimulates B-cell and antibody production† Increases interleukin-1 production† Increases production of tumor necrosis factor†
Wild indigo (Baptisia tinctoria	Increases interferon production† Stimulates B-cell and antibody production† Increases interleukin-1 production†
Thuja occidentalis (white cedar leaf)	Enhances T-4 helper cells and increases interleukin-2 production†
Esberitox®	Increases chemotaxis of white blood cells† Increases phagocytosis rate and killing capacity of neutrophils† Activates macrophages† Increases phagocytosis of macrophages†

Clinical Research Findings
The safe and efficacious use of Esberitox in both children and adults has been documented in over thirty clinical and scientific studies. Unlike Echinacea, which has generated both negative and positive results, studies on the Esberitox combination have yielded only positive findings.

Immune System Support
Several studies have examined the ability of Esberitox to quickly and effectively enhance immune system function.†^2-8 The powerful combination promotes the body's resistive functions by stimulating the production and activity of critical immune cells.†

One randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center study involving 263 adults, found that improvement was noticeable after only two days of supplementation - three days earlier than the placebo group.†² Similar benefits have been noted in children, where safety and tolerability have been established for those as young as two years of age.†³

Esberitox is especially beneficial when extra immune system support is desired.† Clinical research has demonstrated that supplementation increased the rate of phagocytosis by 7.4%, whereas the rate in the placebo group decreased 3.2%.†^1,4 Phagocytosis is a process through which immune cells rid the body of waste and foreign bodies. Esberitox has also been shown to double the level of killer cell activity and the lymphocyte count in individuals in need of immune support.* These findings provide strong evidence of Esberitox's ability to stimulate the immune system.†⁵

Safety
Numerous studies have been done with various dosages and preparations of echinacea. Research indicates that echinacea preparations are generally considered very safe, and few adverse effects have been reported in the literature.†

However, because of the documented immune-stimulating action of echinacea, there is potential for a theoretical interaction in individuals for whom immune system enhancement is contraindicated. Therefore, we have included the following cautionary statement on the label as a conservative measure for our consumers: “Not recommended for individuals with autoimmune diseases, HIV infection, progressive systemic disease, or who are allergic to echinacea or other flowers of the same Compositae (or Asteraceae) family”.

The potential for interaction was examined at the 1999 American Herbal Products Association International Echinacea Symposium. The conclusion drawn following an extensive review of the literature was that these precautionary warnings are based more on theoretical arguments than on specific scientific data.⁹

Conclusion
Esberitox has a long history of safe and effective use. This unique combination of herbs possesses a broader spectrum of activity than Echinacea alone, and when taken initially, can dramatically enhance the function of the immune system.†

Esberitox should be taken when extra immune support is needed.† It should not be taken on a daily basis for an extended period.

If pregnant, nursing, or taking prescription drugs, consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use.
