BODY ARMOURÔ Oral Immune System Fortifier Bio-T Herbal’s BODY ARMOUR is scientifically formulated to provide the optimum phytonutrients to assist in optimizing immune system health. Each ingredient was especially selected for its immune system enhancement. Many of the ingredients are known antiviral, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agents, which work synergistically with one another to help reduce the effects of viral and bacterial infection in the body. Body Armour can be taken at the onset of an illness to strengthen the immune system and resist the invasion of antigens or taken daily prophylactically to maintain immune system health and to destroy many disease-producing microorganisms. RECOMMENDED DOSAGE Take 1 capsule three times daily. Each bottle contains 63 capsules, enough for 21 days. After taking the capsules for the 21 days cease usage for 7 days then repeat daily dosage as required. List of infectious diseases that might be effected by Body Armour Please note DIE OFF (Herxheimer reaction) You might experience influenza or allergic like symptoms after initially taking Body Armour. This is a normal reaction resulting from the "die-off" of harmful microorganisms in your body. When Body Armour quickly kills large numbers of harmful germs and virus, the body’s membranes absorb toxic products from these dead microorganisms. The large amount of foreign antigens trigger an increasing immune response and these immune effects can temporarily worsen a persons symptoms. Effects generally last from 4 days to a week. When these conditions are present it is an indication that Body Armour is working to kill off foreign microorganisms. INGREDIENT ATTRIBUTES Plants have been used as medicine since antiquity. During the last century the pharmaceutical industry came into its own and the popularity of herbal medicine declined although more than 25 percent of all prescription drugs are derived from plants. We are now experiencing a renaissance in the use and study of herbs as medicinal plants. Technology is making enormous inroads into our understanding of how herbs promote health and restore balance in disease. Immune support is perhaps the most complex and fascinating system of the body. It is only been recently, that scientists, researchers and physicians have understood the basic structure and functions of the immune system, that is; protecting the body against infection and the development of cancer. Recent scientific research is showing what the herbalist has known for some time, herbs can be and are significant immune system enhancers aiding in the mediation and elimination of disease. It is beyond the scope of these instructions to detail the many and varied interactions between the ingredients of Body Armour and the immune system. It is possible to outline briefly some of the known attributes of the ingredients of Body Armour. BLACK WALNUT (Juglans nigra) Black walnut has long been known as an antiviral agent. Its various components are rich in oils, juglone, vitamins A, B, C, and E, flavonoids, pantothenic acid, folic acid, Linolenic, isolinolenic and oleic acids, and essential amino acids, juglone is believed to have antifungal principles. Leaves contain tannins and juglandin. Hulls, bark and leaves are antifungal, antiparasitical and antidysenteric. The extract of the hulls is used for skin disorders, eczema, herpes, psoriasis, skin parasites when taken internally or used topically. ECHINACEA (Echinacea angustifolia) Echinacea is the wonder herb for all acute inflammatory conditions. Its Biochemical constituents are Essential oil. Polysaccharides, echinacoside, a triglycoside of caffeic acid derivative. Studies have shown that Echinacea has profound immune enhancing effects, many of which may be mediated by the thymus gland. Stimulates macrophage activity and improves lymph function. Possesses direct white blood cell enhancing effects. Additionally possesses direct macrophage enhancing effect. Macrophages engulf foreign particles including bacteria and cellular debris. Echinacea possesses a direct antibiotic property of its own against certain kinds of microorganisms, including strep and staph germs. Is used to treat severe inflammatory conditions including boils, skin eruptions, puss infected sores, venomous bites, gangrene, septicemia, poison oak and ivy, syphilis and gonorrhea, as well as any acute bacterial or viral infections. OLIVE LEAF EXTRACT (Olea Europa) The isolating of Oleuropein, a component of the olive tree is arguably the most significant technological discovery of the past century relating to herbal medicines. The western culture is suffering from immune system degradation and is suffering from inexplicable afflictions brought on by disease producing microorganisms. These viruses include: Viruses such as Epstein Barr and cytomegalovirus, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, yeasts and other opportunistic fungi and parasites, both as protoza and helminthic worms, which are the source of serious diarrheal diseases and constitute the greatest single cause of sickness and death for mankind. No single treatment was known to work against any of the superpotent microbial invaders---viruses, antibiotic resistant bacteria, yeasts, fungi, protozoa until the discovery of Oleuropein or Olive leaf extract. Researchers and physicians believe that Oleuropein works by; 1.a critical interference with certain amino acids production necessary for the vitality of specific virus, bacteria, or other microbes. 2. By preventing viral shedding, or assembly at the cell membrane. 3. Direct penetration into the infected host cells and the irreversible inhibition of microbial replication. 4. Direct stimulation of phagocytosis as an immune system response to germs of all types, and 5. Neutralization of the retrovirus’s production of reverse transcriptase as well as protease. It works to stop the onset of such health problems as colds and other viral diseases, fungal, molds and yeast invasions of many kinds, bacterial infections, and protozoan parasitic infestations. Our web page lists 137 infectious diseases for which Oleuropein acts effectively as an antimicrobial agent. BURDOCK (Arctium lappa) Burdock has long been used as a blood purifier and to remove toxins from the body, its biochemical constituents are; Essential oil, nearly 45% inulin. It is beneficial for skin diseases, urinary problems. It promotes kidney functions and help to filter the blood, eliminating harmful acids. The diaphoretic property of burdock is due to the presence of volatile oil. When taken internally, this oil is eliminated from the sweat glands, thus removing toxic wastes. Burdock has an abundance of minerals and is used for arthritis rheumatism, sciatica and lumbago. Burdock has a long history for the treatment of Eczema. It is a known antimicrobial agent.
WHITE WILLOW (Salix babylonical) Willow bark is the analogue for aspirin. It is used for the symptomatic relief of fevers, headaches and sciatic, arthritic, rheumatic and neuralgic aches and pains. Contains Salicin (salicosides), salicortine and tannin. Willow bark is an added ingredient to Body Armour to reduce the pain that can be associated with viral and bacterial infections. GOLDENSEAL (Hydrastis canadensis) Used extensively for inflammations and skin disorders. Increases spleen function and increases macrophage activity. Contains; Hydrastine, berberine, resin, traces of essential oil, chologenic acid, fatty oil and albumin. It dries and cleanses the mucus membranes, treats liver disease such as cirrhosis and hepatitis and is generally used for all inflammations and infections. Effective for dyspepsia and acid indigestion, gastritis, colitis, duodenal ulcers. Goldenseal is added to Body Armour to increase immune system efficiency, specifically to increase spleen function as well as to lessen the chance of intestinal discomfort. LICORICE (Glycyrrhiza glabra) Licorice has been one of the most important herbs involved with Chinese medicine and is gaining recognition today as an important constituent in modern herbal remedies. By itself it is a good remedy for influenza, colds and other lung problems by increasing the fluidity of mucus in the lungs and bronchial tubes. Licorice stimulates adrenal gland function and stimulates the production of interferon. Beneficial to allergic disorders, asthma, chronic fatigue, emphysema, herpes virus infection, hypoglycemia, and inflammatory bowel disorders. Zinc Gluconate Zinc is a critical nutrient for optimum immune system function. It possesses a direct antiviral activity. Zinc is an essential mineral important in prostrate gland function. It may help prevent acne and regulate the activity of the oil glands. It is required for protein synthesis and collagen formation, and promotes a healthy immune system and the healing of wounds. Zinc protects the liver from chemical damage and is vital for bone formation. It is a constituent of insulin and many vital enzymes, including the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD). Sufficient intake and absorption of zinc are needed to maintain the proper concentration of vitamin E in the blood.
