Health Benefits
The primary purpose of Immunall is to improve general condition, to help the immune system, and to balance internal organ systems for an optimal response to stress and inflammation. Immunall is most commonly used on competition and breeding animals in addition to animals suffering from a wide array of conditions including:
- Allergic reactions
- Headshaking
- Ulcers
- Hives
- Coughing
- Runny nose
- Mental and Physical Stress
- Muscle recovery
Improvement of General Condition
Energy and resistance to stress: Eleuterococcus contains Eleutherosides, which provide a significant strengthening and tonic impact. The physiological effects combine energy mobilization (primarily through intensified utilization of glucose) with a stress-protective effect. (facilitated by the change in regulation of the central nervous system (hypothalamic-hypophysis system) and hormonal (adrenal, prostaglandin) production.)
Adjustment of the digestive system: Allium sativum eliminates intestinal spasms, adjusts peristalsis and enhances the activity of the gastrointestinal glands. Juglans regia contains tannins and naphtoquinone-derivates, which positively influence the recovery of the intestinal mucous membrane after infection.
Cleansing: Sylimarin in Carduus marianus stimulates and protects liver cells in the process of detoxification of harmful metabolites. In addition, Carduus enhances the production of bile. Viola tricolor supports the kidneys in removing small molecular metabolic waste from the blood (diuresis).
Improvement of Resistance Against Infections
Immunall contains three herbs, Juglans, Echinacea and Uncaria, each of them combining inhibitory effects on the growth of micro-organisms with immune-stimulating properties.
Anti-inflammatory activity: Echinacea purpurea (caffeic acids) and Juglans regia (naphtoquinone derivatives) have bactericide and fungicide properties. Glycosides from Uncaria tomentosa and Echinacea inhibit viral attack on tissue. In addition, Echinacea protects cells by preventing micro-organisms from attaching and multiplying.
Stimulation and support of the immune system: Caffeic acids, polysaccharides and glycoproteins from Echinacea, polysaccharides from Eleuterococcus and quinovic acid glycosides and triterpenes from Uncaria enhance oral and/or cell-mediated defense mechanisms. Juglans stimulates the lymphatic system. Echinacea and Eleuterococcus regulate the stress induced production of prostaglandin’s (chemicals related to cell inflammation) and ACTH (a hormone produced in reaction to stress) ) to an effective and controllable degree. In this process Echinacea stimulates the production of ACTH, while Eleuterococcus reduces the need for activators because the herb stimulates cells to build up more resistance to harmful influences.
Accelerated recovery after illness
Tissue purification, oedema resorption: Echinacea increases phagocyte activity in removing local remnants of damaged tissue. In addition, Echinacea stimulates local activity of lymphatic vessels in transporting interstitial fluid. Viola tricolor purifies the blood by stimulating the diuretic process in the kidneys. Uncaria contributes to oedema resorption by lowering the blood pressure.
Tissue protection: Uncaria has anti-oxidant properties, making cells less susceptible to harmful stimuli (i.e. microbial toxins).
