What has made Wellness Formula America’s number one immune formula? Wellness is uniquely effective because it addresses systems, not just symptoms. Source Naturals recognizes that nutritional symptoms are really body systems out of alignment.*

Wellness is a Bio-Aligned Formula that goes deep to the root cause of body system imbalances. It is expertly designed to support interlocking components of the immune system, including mucous membranes, cell-mediated immunity, and humoral immunity. It also addresses interrelated body systems that impact winter health: antioxidant defense, stress response, and the respiratory system.*

Immune system components addressed by Wellness Formula include protective barriers, such as the skin and mucous membranes; cell mediated immunity involving T-lymphocytes and thymus support; and humoral (body fluid) immunity consisting of B-lymphocytes and macrophage interactions.*

Leaders Of The Wellness Revolution

Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual’s potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn’t exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula, now the industry’s #1 immune support product.

Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple, Mega-Kid Multiple, Inflama-Rest, the Skin Eternal line, Higher Mind, Essential Enzymes, Male Response, and more.

Source Naturals’ comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, they evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Their line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.

Source Naturals nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today’s Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for Wellness is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

Bio-Aligned Formulas: Nutritional Tools Of SystemiCare

Nature abhors imbalance. From the solar system to our internal body systems, the natural world strives for bio-alignment. Symptoms are really systems out of alignment. Only by going deep to the root cause of system imbalances can vibrant health be attained.*

Health concerns often begin as subtle biochemical and cellular imbalances, deep below the surface of our perception, years before problems manifest. SystemiCare is a holistic, early intervention approach to healthcare that utilizes natural compounds to address these system imbalances.*

Source Naturals Bio-AlignedFormulas are critical to the SystemiCare model. They are formulations with potent bio-active nutrients that go deep to the root causes of health imbalances and become powerful tools for vibrant health and well being.*

Bio-Aligned Formulas Balance Your Body Systems
Source Naturals comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas go deep to address the root causes of nutritional symptoms. Their expert formulators exhaustively review the latest scientific research on nutrition and health. Then they design scientifically based formulas that help bring alignment to your multiple, interdependent body systems. Only this in-depth formulation approach can bring you the most effective formulas possible.*

Cardiovascular Symptoms*
Your heart function and circulation can be disrupted by factors including diet, stress, and free radicals. Bio-Aligned Formulas supply nutrients to meet the heart’s energy requirements, nutrients necessary for the maintenance of blood vessels, antioxidants to help control cholesterol oxidation, minerals to support normal electrical rhythms, vitamins for regulation of homocysteine levels, and fibers to help with the exertion of cholesterol.*

Cognitive & Mood Symptoms*
Brain health can be affected by nutrition, lifestyle, and environmental factors, leaving you susceptible to problems in memory, concentration, and perception. Bio-Aligned Formulas provide ingredients such as neurotransmitters for brain cell communication, phospholipids that are components of nerve cell membranes, nutrients to fuel the brain’s energy demands, and herbs for stress response.*

Digestive, Eliminative & Metabolic Symptoms*
Without adequate nutrition, your liver can’t perform its critical functions: detoxification, metabolism, and conversion of vitamins into usable forms. Bio-Aligned Formulas provide antioxidants, herbs that detoxify and promote bile flow, ingredients for the liver’s energy needs, nutrients that support glucose metabolism and pancreatic activity, and digestive enzymes.*

General Symptomatic Conditions*
Daily well-being requires nutrition for your major body systems. While typical multiples supply just enough ingredients to meet minimum requirements, Bio-Aligned Formulas provide nutrients to support energy and liver function, heart-friendly botanicals, herbs that promote circulation to the brain, immune-supporting vitamins, minerals for your skeletal system, and antioxidants for general protection.*

Immune Symptoms*
Appropriate immune response is critical for seasonal health and wellness all year around—but it can be compromised by stress, lack of sleep, and poor diet. Bio-Aligned Formulas supply botanicals that modify histamine release, nutrients for the adrenals, clearing herbs, and antioxidants to defend white blood cells.*

Joint, Bone, and Muscular Symptoms*
Healthy joints, bones, and muscles require continuous nutrition. Bio-Aligned Formulas provide components of joint and connective tissue, bone-building minerals, soothing herbs, and nutrients that support muscular energy.*

Men’s & Women’s Symptoms*
The health of men and women can be impacted by diet, stress, and aging. Bio-Aligned Formulas provide phytoestrogens for hormonal balance, calming neurotransmitters, ingredients for metabolic support, and nutritional support for skin, hair, and nails.*

Further Information On Wellness Formula Tablets

Immune System
A healthy immune system is critically important to help you withstand the ravages of winter. The immune system includes barriers that keep foreign materials from entering your body, such as the skin, mucus, and the cough reflex. If these barriers fail, protection is provided by
internal components.*

Immune system components addressed by Wellness Formula include protective barriers such as the skin and mucous membranes, cell-mediated immunity involving T-lymphocytes and thymus support, and humoral (body fluid) immunity consisting of B-lymphocytes and macrophage interactions. Vitamin A is involved in T-lymphocyte activity, mucosal immunity and phagocytosis. Beta carotene is involved in thymus gland function and in white blood cell activity. Vitamin C is concentrated in the white blood cells. Zinc is found in specific protein compounds within the thymus gland that play an important role in the differentiation of T-cells. Research reveals echinacea’s ability to support immune function, specifically the activity of macrophages. Astragalus is a primary supporter of natural defenses with immuno-potentiating effects.*

Respiratory System—Cleansing Mucous Membranes
Our nasal passages, sinuses, throat, and bronchial tubes are protected by mucous membranes, moist layers of connective tissue that are the first line of immune defense. Cleansing the mucous membranes is an important part of winterizing your immune system. Vitamin A is necessary for the secretion of mucin (a constituent of mucus) in the intestinal mucous membranes and for the integrity of connective tissue. The integrity of vessels and membranes is also supported by vitamin C, mullein, copper, and zinc. Astragalus, isatis, garlic, goldenseal,
Oregon grape, and pau d’arco are herbs that cleanse the mucous membranes.*

Respiratory System — Clearing Mucus
As important as mucous membranes are to the immune system, too much mucus can be a problem. Wellness Formula includes herbs that
support the body’s clearing of excess mucus in the upper respiratory system. These include mullein, horehound, polygonatum, goldenseal, Oregon grape, and pau d’arco.*

Stress Response Mechanisms
Science now shows that emotional and physiological stress significantly impact the immune system. Wellness Formulasupports our bodies’ overall response to stress. Siberian ginseng is an adaptogen whose key constituents, saponin glycosides, support the body’s stress response. The herb astragalus and the minerals calcium and magnesium also support stress response.*

Antioxidant Defense
While carrying out their immune functions, white blood cells generate free radicals, highly reactive molecules that can damage the very white blood cells that produce them. Vitamin C, a free radical scavenger, is concentrated in certain white blood cells, providing them with a built-in defense mechanism. Bioflavonoids act as cofactors that complement the action of vitamin C. Additional antioxidant support is provided by vitamin A, beta carotene, copper, selenium, hawthorn, and pau d’arco.*

Strategies for Wellness Immuno-Support Plan:
Simple nutritional choices and lifestyle patterns are important to your strategy for winter wellness. The following strategies support immune system strength and good health all year round.*

Wash Your Hands
A study evaluated the impact of a one-hour educational session on handwashing for staff members of senior day-care centers. Attendees experienced significantly fewer winter health difficulties. Handwashing for 10 to 15 seconds with soap and water reduces the spread
of germs.*

Eat Your Veggies—Skip the Sugar
Studies show that regular meals and consuming green vegetables are associated with a stronger immune response by white blood cells. Conversely, consumption of simple carbohydrates and sweets decreases white blood cell activity. So, eat your greens—and go easy on
holiday treats!*

Early toBed, Early to Rise
Sleep does more than make you feel rested. Two studies with healthy volunteers demonstrated suppression of immunological function after one night of modest sleep deprivation. The activity of certain white blood cells and the production of chemicals essential for immune system
performance significantly decreased. Most U.S. adults get less than seven hours of sleep per night during the work week, while research has determined that certain parameters of immune function are enhanced by more than seven hours of sleep.*

Stress, Conflict, and Emotional Support
Stressful situations drain our energy and emotions. Science now shows that our immune systems and our physical health are also affected. A supportive approach to resolving conflicts or a strong social/emotional support system ameliorates the impact of stress.*

Exercise and Immune Function
Moderate exercise is good for your health. In studies examining the effect of near-daily brisk walking over a 12 to 15-week period, active subjects had half as many sickness days as inactive subjects.*
