Echinacea: Modulates the immune system of the body by the enhancement of the following: Macrophage function in phagocytosis, leukocytes, TNF-α, IL-1, IL-6, IL-10 and antibody production. Echinacea also works through several other mechanisms: Inhibition of ICAM-1 (to prevent penetration of microorganisms into human cells), inhibition of IL-6 and increasing of IL-10 production (anti-inflammatory).
Chicoric Acid (Phenolic component in Echinacea): Inhibits integrase enzyme in viral replication, and also as an antioxidant. Isobutylamide (Alkylamides in Echinacea): Inhibits cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes as an anti-inflammatory agent; phagocytosis stimulation.
Black Elderberry: Prevention of virus replication by neutralizing viral neuraminidase enzyme and inhibiting virus hemagglutinin activation. Modulates the body's immune system by the enhancement of cytokin IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α production at the beginning of infection, then regulating down by anti-inflammatory effects from IL-10 and IFN-β.
Zinc Picolinate: Inhibits virus replication, as an intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) inhibitor, and also helps in maturation of T and B lymphocytes cells.
Helps maintain immune system.
