Help your body to protect itself
Be well. Stay well. Help your immune system to perform as it should with our all-natural and vegan food supplement. A proprietary, synergistic blend of beta glucans derived from baker’s yeast, vitamin C from acerola berries and vitamin D3 sourced from wild-harvested lichen, that will help to protect your cells from oxidative stress and actively support a normal immune system.
- Contains vitamin C and D that contribute to the normal function of the immune system. 1 2
- Contains vitamin C and D that contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism 3 and normal psychological function 4
- Contains vitamin D that has a role in the process of cell division 5
- Contains vitamin C that contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress6
We have two immune systems: the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system. Most of the time, the innate immune system is more important in protecting us against infection. It consists of specialized cells and enzymes that are always present and ready to fight microbes at the site of infection as soon as the threat appears. The adaptive immune system can remember specific pathogens so it can provide long-lasting defence and protection against recurrent infections. Vitamin D is crucial to activating all our immune defences, and without sufficient intake of the vitamin, the immune system is less able to fight off infections in the body.
Vitamin D
The most important form of vitamin D for your health is vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). It is produced in your skin when you get enough sunlight, but also occurs in vegan foods like mushrooms and non-vegan sources such as fatty fish, shrimps, egg and beef liver. In the northern part of the world, sun exposure is limited during the winter season, and therefore the skin does not produce enough vitamin D3. Insufficient vitamin D intake is common, and supplements play a crucial role in preventing and treating low vitamin D status. There is only one vegan source for production of vitamin D3, namely lichen. The vegan vitamin D3 in Protect+ is derived from organically grown, GMO-free lichen.
Vitamin C
The oxidative stress in our body varies both in different periods of life and from day to day. In situations when the oxidative stress increases, for example as a result of air pollution, heat and sun exposure, traveling and high-intensity exercise, our body needs more antioxidants. Antioxidants play an important role as internal neutralizers and protect our cells from oxidative damage (rusting). Protect+ contains the highly potent antioxidant known as vitamin C, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
1-3, 1-6 Beta Glucans
The 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans in Protect+ are a specialized and standardized form of beta glucans derived from a proprietary strain of baker’s yeast. The 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans prime innate immune cells, allowing them to work more effectively. 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans are naturally found in foods such as baker’s yeast, shiitake mushrooms, and some cereal grains but these are rarely consumed in today’s modern diet.

General Description
Quina is an extract produced from the bark of Cinchona calisaya, a tree from South America that is found between 1,400 meters and 2,800 meters above sea level. Quina has been used for centuries by native South Americans to treat a number of illnesses including malaria, cancer, fever, dysentery, typhoid, pneumonia, etc. It was one of the first South American medicinal plants to become known outside of the Americas. It was first used in Europe in the mid- 1600's and recognized by the British Pharmacopoeia in 1677. Quinine, one of the four alkaloids in Quina known to have antimalarial properties, has been used to produce medicines to treat malaria for nearly 200 years. Malaria strains have mutated rendering these drugs far less effective causing researchers to re-evaluate the medicinal properties of whole plant extracts of Cinchona species such as Quina.
Quina is utilized by some health care professionals in the U.S. as an important component of a Lyme disease protocol. It has been found to be very effective in treating Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, Babesia and many of the coinfections that are usually associated with this condition.

Patient Reports
“Noni is a very good supplement and helps with immune system.” – M.Z
"I bought this after reading an article about how it can knock out colds and flu within hours. I used it several times when I felt like I was fighting a cold and never got the cold. However, the real test came a few days ago when I was traveling with my 14 and 17-year-old. They both started complaining of bad sore throats and felt like they were getting sick. I pulled out the Noni, (I always know when my kids are actually sick because it is the only time they're willing to take supplements.) Ever skeptical about anything mom gives them, they nonetheless took it and were both amazed when they actually felt better within hours. Great stuff!!" -R.P.

General Description
Mora is a proprietary blend of the extracts of three plants Blackberry, Capirona, and Yarrow. Traditionally, Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) has been used to treat a number of medical conditions. It was used to help stop minor bleeding and to treat wounds, to treat inflammation in a number of conditions, fight fevers, treat gastrointestinal conditions, lessen heavy menstrual bleeding, and improve circulation. Some of the compounds found in Yarrow that may explain its medicinal benefits are apigenin, luteolin, centaureidin, casticin, artemetin, paulitin, isopaulitin, psilostachyin, desacetylmatricarin and sintenin. Traditionally, blackberry leaf tea (Rubus fruticosus) has been used to treat parasites and Capirona (Calycophyllum spruceanum) to treat diabetes, soothe the skin and for fungal, bacterial and parasitic infections.

General Description
Enula is a proprietary blend of the extracts of two plants: Elecampane (Inula helenium), and Jalapa (Ipomoea Jalapa). Elecampane contains inulin which helps promote beneficial intestinal bacteria. This is very important since 70% of the immune system is located in the digestive system. Studies have also shown two other active ingredients in elecampane, alantolactone, and isoalantolactone, to be useful in treating parasites, including roundworm, hookworm, whipworm, and threadworm; this research supports the traditional use of elecampane to treat digestive disorders and parasitic infections. Many practitioners have noted that Enula is effective against certain species of Babesia, a parasite commonly associated with Borreliosis (Lyme disease).

MICROBIAL DEFENSE - Barberry derives from the Oregon Grape root, and may offer microbial defense properties.
General Description
Barberry is an extract produced from the root of Mahonia aquifolium, commonly known as Oregon Grape Root. The Mayo Clinic in 1999 published research proving that chronic sinusitis is caused by an underlying fungus in the sinuses with a superimposed bacterial infection. Only the acute superimposed bacterial infection is eliminated when a patient is treated with a standard pharmaceutical antibacterial; the underlying chronic fungal infection in the sinuses is not addressed.
BARBERRY addresses both the bacterial and fungal infections. Many patients that have asthma and bronchospastic disease have chronic sinusitis and/or chronic bronchitis as an underlying cause. Since BARBERRY addresses the underlying infectious causes so well, it usually helps resolve the bronchospasm and asthma. Many practitioners have also found that atherosclerotic disease appears to be primarily an infectious disease caused by bacteria, fungi and sometimes viruses; those practitioners have found BARBERRY to be very helpful in resolving the infection which then causes atherosclerosis to diminish and resolve. BARBERRY effectively treats Chlamydia pneumonia, mycoplasma, many herpes viruses of different types and mucor; peer-reviewed literature states that all of these are known to contribute to atherosclerotic disease.

General Description
Cumanda is an herbal extract made from the bark of the Campsiandra Angustifolia tree, found in South America. It has been used by indigenous groups in that region for hundreds of years. Cumanda is very effective in treating the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria and practitioners are now using it in conjunction with Samento to treat Lyme Borreliosis with co-infections. Lyme Borreliosis has been linked to hundreds of medical conditions. Many researchers and physicians believe that Lyme Borreliosis may be a factor in most chronic conditions. One of the most impressive benefits of Cumanda is its antifungal action. Physicians report that it is effective in treating many difficult to treat fungi including Mycosis fungoides, Candida krusei, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger, to name a few.

MICROBIAL DEFENSE - Cat’s Claw may offer microbial defense properties. This concentration is Non-GMO, vegan, and contains no corn, gluten, yeast, or soy.*
General Description
Awareness is growing that the rainforests are one of the world’s greatest natural resources. Based on current knowledge, it is estimated that the rainforests contain 170,000 of the world's 250,000 known plant species, and more are still being discovered. Continuing scientific studies are revealing many to be greatly beneficial for a broad number of medicinal uses.
As you will find in the study abstracts that follow, one of the most unique in its diversity and potential in medicinal applications is SAMENTO, also known as TOA-Free Cat's Claw. SAMENTO is a rare chemotype of the medicinal plant commonly known as Cat's Claw, Uncaria tomentosa.
Samento was approved as a medicine in Ecuador in 2004. Government officials have allowed 3 drug claims to be used: anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and immune system modulator. The Hungarian National Institute of Pharmacy (OGYI), the Hungarian equivalent of the FDA in the US, also approved SAMENTO in 2001 as paramedicament (OTC) pharmaceutical preparation as a “sole or adjunct therapy for rheumatoid diseases, arthritis, and locomotor conditions. It is also approved as a sole or adjunct therapy to enhance immune system function.”
Unlike traditional Cat's Claw products, the SAMENTO chemotype does not contain Tetracyclic Oxindole Alkaloids (TOAs), a group of chemical antagonists that act upon the central nervous system and can greatly inhibit the positive effect of the Pentacyclic Oxindole Alkaloids (POAs). The POAs primarily affect the immune cells responsible for nonspecific and cellular immunity and demonstrate powerful immune system modulating properties. According to research conducted in Austria, traditional Cat's Claw products may contain as much as 80% TOAs, and as little as 1% TOAs can cause a 30% reduction in the immune system modulating properties that POAs provide.
As a result of these phytochemical differences between SAMENTO and Cat's Claw, SAMENTO can be safely used in a broader range of medical conditions. Cat’s Claw acts as an immune system stimulant making it contraindicated in patients with autoimmune disorders, whereas SAMENTO is an immune system modulator. For this reason, SAMENTO can be used to treat all autoimmune disorders.
TOA-Free Cat’s Claw (SAMENTO) and isolated POAs such as mitraphylline, isomytraphylline, isopteropodine, and pteropodine continue to show promising results as they have been studied. The studies below reveal the exciting potential for the use of SAMENTO in various applications.

Patient Reports
"A 'must have' in your Lyme-treatment arsenal." -G.W.
"Found out about Samento from my dogs' veterinarian. I'm adding it to her raw food diet because of H. pylori and lime disease that she had. Also, I'm taking it as well, since we live under one roof and H. pylori are contagious." -F.L.
"This stuff is amazing for Lyme's Disease. It really does work and I notice rheumatic and arthritic pain beginning to go away in my joints." -S.O.
“Have been taking this daily for the past 22 years... keeps you healthy. You can fight off colds and flu fast and most of the time you never get them” – D.K
“I've been using Samento when needed for about 8 years. I have an auto-immune disease and get frequent bladder infections. Samento will clear up most of them. Follow directions! It may be OTC but still powerful. Don't take 2x suggested dose thinking it will work faster. Notice it says to let sit in water for 1 minute before taking”. - K.B
Dosage Information
30 drops twice daily at least 30 minutes before meals (start with 1 drop in 4 oz. of water adding a drop with each dose).
Safety Information
An acute oral toxicity study was conducted by the University of Guayaquil, Ecuador concluding that Samento did not produce toxic effects, thus the product is considered practically innocuous for humans when administered in the acute form. Therefore; studies of acute toxicity at higher doses in humans are not necessary. Full Article
