In Chinese traditional medicine (TCM), andrographis is considered a ‘cold’ herb and is used to rid the body of heat, and resolve ‘ire’ in the lungs and throat.4 In Ayurvedic medicine, andrographis is sometimes referred to as Indian echinacea.4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNowadays, these traditional applications are supported by scientiic research. A systematic review of seven double-blind controlled trials recognise the herb as superior to placebo in alleviating the subjective symptoms of uncomplicated URTIs (the andrographis extract in these trials may differ to the extract found in BioCeuticals Clinical ImmuneForce).5 In vitro studies indicate andrographis has antibacterial and antiviral activity.6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrastis canadensis (golden seal)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to North America, golden seal is traditionally used in WHM to assist in relieving mild dyspepsia and digestive complaints.6 The medicinal value of golden seal is largely attributed to its high berberine content, which has demonstrated signiicant antimicrobial activity against a variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans and helminths in animal and in vitro studies.4,7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInula helenium (elecampane) and Thymus vulgaris (thyme)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an expectorant, elecampane is traditionally used in WHM for persistent mild coughs.6 In the same branch of traditional medicine, thyme is utilised as an expectorant for catarrh of the upper respiratory tract and to help relieve coughs due to mild URTIs.8 Thyme has also exhibited antibacterial (against Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus mutans and Salmonella enterica) and antifungal (against Candida albicans) activity in vitro.4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZinc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdequate zinc intake is essential for the development and function of cells that mediate both innate and adaptive immune responses.9 Human studies have shown that even a mild zinc deiciency can elicit changes in immune status.10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIngredient List: BioCeuticals Clinical ImmuneForce\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable width='100%\"'\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach tablet contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHerbal extracts standardised equiv. to dry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAndrographis paniculata (andrographis) leaf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eequiv. to andrographolide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEchinacea purpurea (echinacea) root\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eequiv. to cichoric acid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHerbal extracts equiv. to dry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThymus vulgaris (thyme) herb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInula helenium (elecampane) root\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydrastis canadensis (golden seal) root\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutrient:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZinc amino acid chelate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62.5mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eequiv. zinc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFree Froms\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFree Froms: BioCeuticals Clinical ImmuneForce\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo Added Dairy, No Added Gluten, No Added Shellfish, No Added Soy Protein, Vegan Friendly, Vegetarian Friendly, No Added Yeast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarnings: BioCeuticals Clinical ImmuneForce\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults only.

indigenous population, where it has long been used traditionally in the symptomatic treatment of mild URTIs, such as coughs and sore throats.1 Perhaps due to its widespread popularity with the native healers of Northern America, the eclectics praised this herb, theorising that it directly stimulated phagocytic activity and white blood cell production.2 Today, echinacea is a popular choice in WHM for its symptomatic relief of the common cold and flu, with cichoric acid being one of its main active constituents.3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAndrographis paniculata

In Chinese traditional medicine (TCM), andrographis is considered a ‘cold’ herb and is used to rid the body of heat, and resolve ‘ire’ in the lungs and throat.4 In Ayurvedic medicine, andrographis is sometimes referred to as Indian echinacea.4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNowadays, these traditional applications are supported by scientiic research. A systematic review of seven double-blind controlled trials recognise the herb as superior to placebo in alleviating the subjective symptoms of uncomplicated URTIs (the andrographis extract in these trials may differ to the extract found in BioCeuticals Clinical ImmuneForce).5 In vitro studies indicate andrographis has antibacterial and antiviral activity.6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydrastis canadensis (golden seal)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to North America, golden seal is traditionally used in WHM to assist in relieving mild dyspepsia and digestive complaints.6 The medicinal value of golden seal is largely attributed to its high berberine content, which has demonstrated signiicant antimicrobial activity against a variety of organisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoans and helminths in animal and in vitro studies.4,7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInula helenium (elecampane) and Thymus vulgaris (thyme)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an expectorant, elecampane is traditionally used in WHM for persistent mild coughs.6 In the same branch of traditional medicine, thyme is utilised as an expectorant for catarrh of the upper respiratory tract and to help relieve coughs due to mild URTIs.8 Thyme has also exhibited antibacterial (against Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus mutans and Salmonella enterica) and antifungal (against Candida albicans) activity in vitro.4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZinc\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdequate zinc intake is essential for the development and function of cells that mediate both innate and adaptive immune responses.9 Human studies have shown that even a mild zinc deiciency can elicit changes in immune status.10\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIngredient List: BioCeuticals Clinical ImmuneForce\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable width='100%\"'\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach tablet contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHerbal extracts standardised equiv. to dry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAndrographis paniculata (andrographis) leaf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eequiv. to andrographolide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEchinacea purpurea (echinacea) root\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eequiv. to cichoric acid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHerbal extracts equiv. to dry:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThymus vulgaris (thyme) herb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInula helenium (elecampane) root\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHydrastis canadensis (golden seal) root\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutrient:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZinc amino acid chelate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62.5mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eequiv. zinc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFree Froms\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFree Froms: BioCeuticals Clinical ImmuneForce\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo Added Dairy, No Added Gluten, No Added Shellfish, No Added Soy Protein, Vegan Friendly, Vegetarian Friendly, No Added Yeast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarnings: BioCeuticals Clinical ImmuneForce\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults only.
