REFINE your disease-fighting forces with this ‘heavenly’ herb

If the most recent events have taught us anything, it’s that we can’t relax for ONE MINUTE when it comes to keeping our immune systems IRON-CLAD.

You might think “boosting” immunity means RAMPING it up… for the most POWERFUL counterattack possible.

But that’s actually not true… and it could do more harm than good!

Too often, patients’ conditions COLLAPSE because of the way their immune systems go into OVERDRIVE.

The most common example is running a high fever… or the overzealous inflammatory response known as a “cytokine storm.”

Sometimes a more MEASURED reaction is called for… rather than always coming out with guns blazing.

Unfortunately, some of us don’t have that “precision dial” on our immune systems. There’s no nuance to it – it’s either all the way ON or all the way OFF.

We see that in autoimmune diseases all the time… especially in cases where conventional medicine has nothing to offer besides immunosuppressant drugs.

But flipping the switch to the “off” position can set you up for infections that your body can’t fight off – and even minor ones can therefore become deadly.

What you ACTUALLY need is more like a dimmer switch…

Something to help your immune system work JUST ENOUGH… only what’s needed to be effective… WITHOUT going overboard.

And depending on the circumstance, it can be dialed UP… or dialed DOWN.

Right now, there’s no pharmaceutical drug that’s been proven to FINE-TUNE your immunity.

But there is a natural ingredient from traditional medicine… a “sacred vine” with a sugary secret weapon… that can help strike the PERFECT balance in your immune response.

A ‘perfect’ immune response?

Giloy (Tinospora cordifolia) has been REVERED in its native India for its sacred origins. In fact, its name in Hindi loosely translates as the “heavenly elixir”

Ayurvedic healers use this vine to treat pretty much anything from A to Z… and that could explain its Sanskrit name, “guduchi,” which translates to mean “one that protects the whole body.”

It’s no wonder, then, that folk medicine has relied on this herb to treat ailments related to an immune system that’s gone off-kilter.

Most of the Western research has zeroed in on how giloy stem extract can help beat back the severity of allergies…

But it’s important to note that seasonal allergies… and other allergic reactions… are the manifestation of IMBALANCED immune cell signaling.

And that’s exactly what we see in a myriad of autoimmune diseases.

Giloy appears to be able to OPTIMIZE immune function… and even STIMULATE immune cell activity…

All the while RESTORING immune response balance.

Think of it this way…

Your immune system doesn’t NEED to “go nuclear” on every little thing that invades your body.

Giloy helps support the deployment of a precision-based army of immune cells… known as macrophages… that literally DEVOURS foreign cells and cellular debris so they don’t make you sick.

That way, your healthy cells don’t get caught in the cross-fire.

Although there are MANY plant chemicals locked inside of this sacred herb that contribute towards maintaining a healthy immune response, including alkaloids and glycosides…

The MAIN active constituent of giloy may surprise you.

It’s a type of polysaccharide – or sugar molecule!

Now, we already know how some polysaccharides… like beta-glucans… are known to stimulate immunity by producing and releasing disease-fighting inflammatory substances (like cytokines) and unstable molecules like ROS to send pathogens packing.

But giloy contains a SPECIAL type of polysaccharide, called alpha-glucans.

And it turns out that it can strike a PERFECT balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory responses and pro- and antioxidant defenses.

Scientists have nicknamed the most prominent alpha-glucan “RR1”…

But they suspect that the secret to getting the immune response “just right” is the synergy of all of the different giloy plant chemicals working together.

Dried, powdered giloy stem extract is available as a supplement on its own in capsule form…

But for MAXIMUM protection, look for a patented extract called Tinofend, which is standardized to contain 20% polysaccharides.

You’ll find it as an ingredient in immune support formulas. Choose one from a maker you trust.

A recommended dosage is 300 mg, taken 1 to 3 times daily.
