Ingredients
ELEUTHEROCOCCUS
Eleutherococcus, as an adaptogenic plant, stimulates and regulates the immune system, thus strengthening the body's natural defenses. Its antioxidant properties help fight free radicals and reduce inflammation, helping to support more robust immunity.
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT
Zinc stimulates the production of white blood cells to fight infections and regulates the inflammatory response, supporting healthy immunity. By promoting nutrient absorption and protecting immune cells, zinc plays an essential role in maintaining a strong and resilient immune system.
ASTRAGIN® PANAX NOTOGINSENG AND ASTRAGALUS
Astragin® is a blend of Panax notoginseng and astragalus that strengthens immunity by improving the activity of immune cells. This combination supports an optimal immune response and helps strengthen the body's resistance to infections and external aggressions.
VITAMIN D
Vitamin D plays a crucial role in immunity by stimulating the production of antimicrobial peptides and modulating the inflammatory response. Vitamin D supplementation helps strengthen the immune system and improve resistance against infections.
ASTRAGIN® PANAX NOTOGINSENG AND ASTRAGALUS
The objective ingredient
Astragin® is a patented blend of Panax notoginseng and astragalus, the benefits of which on immunity have been studied extensively. This unique combination of plants has demonstrated several beneficial effects on the immune system.
First, Astragin® stimulates the production of cytokines, proteins that play an essential role in the immune response, thereby strengthening the body's ability to fight infections.
Next, this herbal blend enhances the activity of immune cells, including T lymphocytes and natural killer cells, which are responsible for recognizing and destroying infected cells. It also helps modulate the inflammatory response, thereby preventing excessive immune reactions that could damage healthy tissues.
By strengthening the immune system and maintaining its balance, it helps prevent disease and support optimal overall health.
What is an objectified ingredient?
An objectified ingredient is an ingredient used in skin care products, cosmetics or dietary supplements. This ingredient has undergone rigorous scientific testing and evaluation to demonstrate its effectiveness and health benefits.
Objectification of ingredients involves clinical studies or in vitro studies to assess their effects on the body. These studies measure specific parameters and are then used to support claims about the ingredient's benefits.
The presence of objective ingredients in a product testifies to its effectiveness, because scientific evidence supports the claims made about them.
Analysis of the objectified ingredient
Astragin® has a positive effect on the microbiota and the immune system. In vivo studies in rats have demonstrated that Astragin® contributes to the repair of damaged epithelial cells and the reduction of inflammation in the lamina propria, a membrane that lines the body's cavities and contains numerous cells. immune, such as:
- gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT)
- T cells
- plasma cells
- mast cells
- dendritic cells
- macrophages
These results indicate that Astragin® plays a crucial role in maintaining intestinal health and the overall immune system, supporting the balance of the immune response and promoting better resistance against external attacks.*
A second study was carried out, the astragalosides present in Astragalus membranaceus were observed to have beneficial effects on the immune system by:
- Activating and strengthening T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes , the cellular components of the adaptive immune system,
- Inducing the production of IFN-γ and the activity of IL-2 , two cytokines essential for the immune response,
- Promoting the engagement of T helper cells.**
The third study was carried out on ginsenoside Rg1. It is a major active ingredient in Panax notoginseng , which has shown an effect on the immune system by:
- Increasing the activity of T lymphocytes and stimulating B lymphocytes in the production of antibodies,
- Acting as an immune modulator of B cell activation in autoimmune diseases.***

eleutherococcus
The adaptogenic plant
Eleutherococcus, an adaptogenic plant, strengthens resistance to stress, indirectly supporting the immune system.
Studies have shown that it stimulates T lymphocytes and natural killer cells, improving the immune response. Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties reduce chronic inflammation, which can weaken immunity. The antioxidants present in eleutherococcus protect cells against damage, strengthening the body's defenses. It also stimulates the production of antibodies, which increases protection against infections.
Regulating and strengthening the immune system, eleuthero promotes balance, avoids excessive reactions and accelerates recovery after an illness.
By integrating Eleutherococcus into a healthy lifestyle, it supports optimal immunity and improves overall health.
What is an adaptogenic herb?
An adaptogenic herb is a herb that contains natural compounds that help the body adapt and cope with physical, emotional or environmental stress.
The term "adaptogen" was first used by Russian scientist Nikolai Lazarev in the 1940s to describe certain plants with beneficial effects by increasing the body's resistance to stress.
These plants are commonly used in traditional and alternative medicine to support overall health and promote balance in the body. They regulate the hormonal system, strengthen the immune system, improve physical and mental endurance, reduce fatigue and promote recovery.
Each adaptogenic herb has specific properties and may offer potential health benefits.
Analysis of the adaptogenic plant
Eleutherococcus, also known as Siberian Ginseng, has adaptogenic properties. This means that its active ingredients help the body to better resist stress, whether biological, chemical or physical. In addition to its adaptogenic effects, Eleutherococcus is associated with an ability to reduce fatigue and stimulate a state of alertness.
In vivo studies in rats have shown that Eleutherococcus can reduce stress and fatigue in situations of environmental stress, such as forced swimming.
These results suggest that Eleutherococcus may be beneficial in supporting stress resistance and improving energy and alertness.
