Respiratory Defense Supreme Liquid Extract is a blend of Echinacea (angustifolia and purpurea), Licorice, Oregano, Osha, Schizandra, Skullcap, St. John's Wort and Cinnamon, intended to provide support for the upper respiratory tract.*

• Supports the Lungs and Promotes Respiration*
• Supports Healthy Functions of the Mucous Membranes of the Upper Respiratory System*
• Supports Healthy Function of the Immune System*

Echinacea contains many strong immune supportive compounds. It helps maintain a healthy inflammatory response to seasonal stressors, promotes healthy drainage of the lymphatic system, supports phagocytic activity of macrophage cells, and promotes healthy levels of interferon.*

Licorice contains triterpenoid saponins, notably glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid, as well as a fair amount of flavonoids and flavones like liquiritin and numerous chalcones and isoflavones. Licorice is covered by a positive Commission E monograph and can be used for catarrh of the upper respiratory tract as well as gastric and duodenal ulcers in Germany as an "OTC" medicine.*

Oregano supports healthy immune system function, supports the GI tract, and maintains a healthy inflammatory response to seasonal stressors. It is loaded with volatile oils, and it is thought that the anti-microbial action of these oils in the lungs is achieved when they are exhaled after being metabolized in the bloodstream.*

Osha Root supports the functions of the mucus membrances and the upper respiratory system. Like oregano, it contains many volatile oils. It is noted for its ability to elevate body temperature and induce sweating, which may explain its ability to modulate immune function. The extract also has a local anesthetic effect for which it is well known in Native American cultures, where it is used as a gargle for sore throats.*

Schizandra supports healthy liver function and helps naturally balance endocrine functions. It is classified as an adaptogenic herb, which means it is completely non-toxic to the human body and helps balance and normalize the body's systems, leading to homeostasis and health.*

Chinese Skullcap provides antioxidant protection and supports healthy liver and immune function. The plant is very chemically complex, containing many flavones (antioxidants). The flavones of particular interest have been Baicalin and Baicalein. These antioxidants appear to downregulate the effects of oxidative stress on various tissues in the body including the liver.*

St. John's Wort promotes the body's nerve response during injury and trauma, promotes adaption to stress, and encourages healthy mental attitudes. The flowers contain many antioxidants such as Rutin, Quercitin, and Lutein, which provide important protection from free radical damage.*

Technical Comments
The exact mechanism of E. angustifolia’s effect on the mucosal membranes has not been fully understood until recently. Research conducted by Gaia Herbs and several institutions and Universities has elucidated compounds that have restructured our understanding of how Echinacea works. These compounds are called RxA Factors and represent the alkylamide fractions known as isobutlyamides. RxA Factors are found in the roots of E. angustifolia and purpurea and also in the mature ripe seed of E. purpurea.*

RxA Factors help maintain a healthy inflammatory response. RxA Factors supports the tissues of the sinuses and throat that are exposed to airborne stressors and balance an acutely challenged immune system. Both the pre-inflammatory chemical messengers Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and the RxA factors found in Echinacea compete for the same receptor sites known as canabanoid 2 (CB-2) receptors. When Echinacea is taken at the same time TNF alpha is activated by sinus and respiratory challenges, RxA factors successfully bind to CB-2 receptors and effectively inhibit the uptake of TNF alpha thus promoting a healthy inflammatory response.*


Specific Differentiation of Gaia Herbs Product

Gaia Herbs was the first manufacturer in the United States to use isobutylamides or alkylamides as a marker compound on its product label. Five years of sponsored research and over ten years of independent research have led to the increased understanding of why some Echinacea products work at the onset of respiratory challenge, and why some don’t. If using an Echinacea product at the onset of the common cold, it is imperative to use one highly concentrated in alkylamides. Gaia Herbs cultivates all of it’s Echinacea on the 250 certified Organic Farm in Brevard, NC. It then extracts the material in its adjacent Certified Organic manufacturing laboratory. No other company in North America has invested as much time, resources and effort in researching Echinacea.
