Resistance Support Formula provided by Douglas Laboratories is a synergistic and comprehensive combination of vitamins, minerals, herbals, and other nutrients carefully formulated and specifically designed to offer nutritional support to improve a healthy immune system's resistance to damaging stresses.*
Studies show that a high percentage of adults in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimumdaily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management of the body’s structure as well as the optimum functioning of its various systems, including the immune system.*
The Resistance Support Formula has been carefully developed to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients without danger of toxic build-up or other side effects. 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.*
Resistance Support Formula contains not only the base formula of Douglas Laboratories' Ultra-Specific Nutrition 2000 Series that offers intensive support for the healthy functioning of the body in general, but also a blend of herbs and additional nutrients specifically formulated to offer additional support of the body’s mechanisms that maintain a healthy and effective immune system.*
Eleutherococcus senticosus has been used for centuries as a panacea in Russian traditional medicine, to maintain and stimulate the function of the body’s various systems, including its immunological defenses. As an adaptogen, Eleutherococcus is thought to increase the body’s resistance to biological and chemical stresses. Eleutherococcus has been shown to increase phagocytosis and lymphocyte activity in response to biological stress. It has been suggested that this herb can stimulate the production of interferon, thus enhancing the functioning of macrophages, natural killer cells, and cytotoxic T cells.*
Echinacea was traditionally used by Native Americans to treat a variety of disorders where enhancement of the immune system was needed.
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 also suggest that echinacea may enhance immune function by increasing antigen-specific immunoglobulin production. Echinacea-treated animals show a significant enhancement of their IgG response to antigen. Echinacea's enhanced production of the immune system cells on the first line of resistance against invading pathogens suggests an important prophylactic role for this botanical.*
