    Astragalus has been used in Traditional Chinese medicine for hundreds of years, bestowing the benefit of nourishment and strengthening of the immune system. Its wide array of constituents include flavonoids, sapponins, polysaccharides, amino acids, essential fatty acids and trace minerals. The triterpenoid sapponins, known as astragalosides, support the integrity of mucous membranes and epithelial cells in the respiratory tract through an antioxidant mechanism. Astragalus has also been shown to promote macrophage and monocyte function as well as increased interferon production. It also supports deep immune function by promoting natural killer cell and T-cell function. Astragalus appears especially effective when immune function is stressed by environmental or endogenous challenges.

    Echinacea pallida possesses many different immune stimulating properties, but one in particular is the increase in a process called phagocytosis. Phagocytosis is the first line of defense of the cellular immune system, a process that helps prevent the invasion of foreign substances in to the body.

    An additional benefit of Echinacea is that it possesses mild antibiotic activity and slows the spread of bacterial growth. Echinacea also stimulates complement, a blood protein complex, which helps organize the immune system to block the ability of viruses and bacteria to infect white blood cells. Echinacea works on a multitude of levels to help the body defend itself against winter season illnesses. Planetary Herbals Echinacea Defense Force provides a potent amount of echinacea and other immune strengthening herbs.
