Immune Boost Formula

Our Immune Boost Formula tincture is a synergistic herbal extract, handcrafted using a blend of herbs historically called upon for their willingness to support the immune system.

Here on the farm, we use this Immune Boost Formula for supporting optimal immune system health by acting as an immune modulator, for supporting optimal lymphatic system function, and to reduce systemic inflammation.

We personally consume this tincture daily (think daily multivitamin) to improve our overall immune and cellular function. Over the past years, untold damage has occurred to our immune systems through viruses, environment toxins, increased oxidative stress, and the like. We consider this Immune Boost Formula a must for our family, as we attempt to work with the gifts given to us in Nature, to strengthen our health for the days ahead!

Indeed, qualifying it as a Tincture for our Time!

This tincture's effects are most notable, restoring balance & strength, over long-term use. The best effects may be realized by folks who likewise aim to eliminate sugar & alcohol consumption, eliminate processed foods, work to support optimal gut & thyroid health (more probiotic foods & more sea vegetables: see our Bladderwrack capsules)

GIFTS OF THE HERBS:

—Astragalus Root (Astragalus membranaceus)
•Role in Immune Support: Astragalus is a well known immune tonic and adaptogen. It enhances white blood cell production, supports innate immunity, and helps the body resist infections. It’s particularly useful for boosting long-term immune function and energy, rather than acute illness. Astragalus is also an excellent herb for protecting against stress-related immune suppression, which makes it ideal for strengthening overall resilience.
•Active Constituents: Polysaccharides, flavonoids, triterpenoid saponins (astragalosides)
•Actions: Immune modulator, adaptogen, anti-inflammatory, tonic

—Elderberries (Sambucus nigra)
•Role in Immune Support: Elderberries are rich in antioxidants and immune-enhancing flavonoids. They are particularly effective at boosting immune defenses during viral infections, such as colds and the flu. Elderberries work by improving the body’s ability to fight off pathogens. They also have antiviral properties, making them a highly valuable herb in terms of immune support.
•Active Constituents: Anthocyanins, flavonoids, phenolic acids, vitamin C
•Actions: Antiviral, antioxidant, immune stimulant

—Japanese Knotweed Root (Polygonum cuspidatum)
•Role in Immune Support: Japanese knotweed is rich in resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Resveratrol has been shown to modulate the immune system, helping to reduce chronic inflammation and support the body in fighting off infections. Japanese knotweed is also known for its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, supporting immune responses in the brain and helping with immune-related neurological conditions.
•Active Constituents: Resveratrol, emodin, flavonoids, stilbenes
•Actions: Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, immune modulator, neuroprotective

—Reishi (Ganoderma oregonense)
• Role in Immune Support: Reishi is a renowned adaptogenic mushroom that supports immune system balance and resilience. It enhances both innate and adaptive immunity by modulating the activity of macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and T-cells. Reishi also promotes a healthy inflammatory response, making it especially beneficial for individuals with autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, or those seeking to prevent or recover from illness. Known as the “mushroom of immortality,” it supports overall vitality, stress resilience, and longevity.
•Active Constituents: Polysaccharides (beta-glucans), triterpenes, ganoderic acids, sterols
•Actions: Adaptogen, immune modulator, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, nervine, cardiovascular tonic

—Chaga Mushroom (Inonotus obliquus)
•Role in Immune Support: Chaga is a potent immune-modulating mushroom known for its high levels of antioxidants, particularly beta-glucans, which stimulate white blood cells and enhance the body’s immune defense mechanisms. Chaga is particularly effective at boosting the body’s ability to respond to both bacterial and viral infections. It also has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which help protect the body from oxidative stress and chronic inflammation.
•Active Constituents: Beta-glucans, polysaccharides, triterpenes, melanin
•Actions: Immune modulator, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, adaptogen

—Red Root (Ceanothus americanus)
•Role in Immune Support: Red root is a fantastic lymphatic tonic that improves lymphatic circulation and drainage. This is essential for immune function, as the lymphatic system plays a critical role in transporting immune cells and clearing waste products from the body. Red root helps to clear congested lymph nodes and supports the body’s natural detoxification processes, which are essential during immune challenges.
•Active Constituents: Ceanothine, tannins, alkaloids
•Actions: Lymphagogue, astringent, anti-inflammatory

—Ginger Root (Zingiber officinale)
•Role in Immune Support: Ginger is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and warming properties, which make it a valuable herb for immune support. It helps stimulate circulation, improves digestion, and enhances the body’s ability to detoxify. Ginger is also an effective antimicrobial and can help fight off both bacterial and viral infections. Its ability to enhance circulation ensures that immune cells are more efficiently distributed throughout the body.
•Active Constituents: Gingerols, shogaols, zingerone
•Actions: Anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, stimulant, carminative

—Cayenne Peppers (Capsicum annuum)
•Role in Immune Support: Cayenne is a circulatory stimulant, which improves the distribution of immune cells and nutrients throughout the body. It also has antimicrobial and warming properties, helping the body clear infections more efficiently. Cayenne can enhances the body's absorption of the other herbs, adding tremendously to the efficacy of this beautiful formula. It also supports respiratory health, making it useful in preventing or clearing congestion during infections.
•Active Constituents: Capsaicin, carotenoids, flavonoids
•Actions: Circulatory stimulant, antimicrobial, diaphoretic, stimulant
