No adverse effects have been reported.

Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability. competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. Certain nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and B-complex vitamins are included in high-potency amounts because of the vital roles they play in antioxidant protection, energy production, the maintenance of healthy blood cells, the nervous system, hormonal balance, and more. Minerals and trace elements are provided in their safest and most bioavailable forms.

As an adaptogen, Siberian ginseng is thought to increase the body' s resistance to biological and chemical stresses. Siberian ginseng has been shown to increase phagocytosis and lymphocyte activity in response to biological stress. It has been suggested that Siberian ginseng stimulates the production of interferon, thus enhancing the functioning of macrophages, natural killer cells, and cytotoxic Tcells.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that Echinacea significantly increases the numbers of monocytes and natural-killer (NK) cells in both the spleen and bone marrow within weeks after dietary supplementation. Studies suggest that echinacea enhance immune function by increasing antigen-specific inimunoglobulin production.

Elderberry flowers and berries contains Flavonoids, including quercetin, which account for its therapeutic actions. These flavonoids include anthocyanins that are powerful antioxidants and protect cells against The effect on influenza of a syrup made from the berries of the black elderberry has been studied in a double-blind trial. People receiving an elderberry extract appeared to recover faster than did those receiving a placebo.

Many studies have evaluated the properties of Goldenseal's two primary alkaloids, berberine and hydrastine. Goldenseal also has strong astringent properties which may partially explain its historical use for sore throats and diarrhea. In test tube studies, it has shown a wide spectrum of antibiotic activity against disease-causing organisms, such as Chlamydia, E. coli, Salmonella typhi, and Entamoeba histolytica.

Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice flavonoids, as well as the closely related chalcones, help heal digestive tract cells. They are also potent antioxidants and work to protect liver cells. In test tubes, the flavonoids have been shown to kill Helicobacter pylori, the bacteria that causes most ulcers and stomach inflammation.

Astragalus contains flavonoids, polysaccharides, triterpene glycosides, amino acids, and trace minerals. Several preliminary clinical trials in China have suggested that astragalus can benefit immune function and improve survival in some people with cancer.
