Breathe Easier

Defend yourself naturally against pollen,
seasonal allergies & other immune stresses.
Specialized cells of the immune system release histamine when challenged by substances such as pollen, dust, dander, etc. – things we can breathe, eat, or touch.
But histamine is not the root of the body’s response.  Histamine may cause the outward responses you see and feel – but the problem stems from a shift in the body’s defense systems.  Building up these defenses helps keep histamine at acceptable levels.
Histamine’s effects on the Body
Many body systems are affected when histamine levels go unchecked.  These include the immune and respiratory systems, liver, and adrenal glands.
Immune System – When the body comes in contact with an intruder, it begins to manufacture antibodies (IgE).  After these antibodies encounter the invader, a large amount of histamine is released.  This causes the surrounding blood vessels to dilate, which allows fluid and cells to migrate to the site of the insult.  The body can overreact to these intruders, causing stress on the immune system.
Allerplex – with the help of vitamin A and C complexes, supports the body’s immune response to seasonal, environmental, and dietary stressors. Also formulated to maintain healthy liver function – the body’s natural cleansing system.
Cal-Amo – provides chlorides (calcium and ammonium) for maintaining proper pH balance, which helps support immune system efficiency and enhance respiratory function.
Respiratory SystemHistamine causes muscle constriction in the lung’s bronchial tubes, which may affect normal breathing.
Fen-Gre – maintains the body’s natural function of supporting healthy levels of mucous and phlegm in the lungs and bronchial tubes.
Liver – When bombarded with histamine, the liver becomes weakened and its ability to remove toxins is compromised, which slows down the release of invaders from the body.
Antronex – supports the liver and the body’s natural antihistamine function.  Can be combined with Cal-Amo for more immediate support.
Adrenal Glands – If the body is under stress, these glands secrete cortisol to regulate histamine levels and assist with the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response – helping to combat the symptoms experienced with pollen, seasonal, and other stresses.
                Drenamin – helps body maintain its natural anti-inflammatory response. 
Plan ahead for Seasonal Challenges – the earlier you start preparing your body, the better.
