Contains a blend of six standardized herbal extracts with well-documented antimicrobial and immune-supportive actions in the body. Effective as a preventative measure in individuals who show signs and symptoms of low immunity or in patients who are frequently ill. Particularly indicated for bacterial and viral infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract, including colds and flu. The human body is constantly challenged by microbes in the environment. Under normal circumstances, our immune system is more than capable of repelling these invaders that can make us ill. However, additional support may be indicated in individuals who are highly exposed, suffer from chronic stress, or in individuals who constantly become ill. IM-Matrix is indicated for all these circumstances, containing a blend of six standardized herbal extracts. Of these herbal extracts, Echinacea angustifolia is the most well-known for its immune support, with numerous research trials showing that it can significantly reduce the recurrence of the common cold and shorten the duration of symptoms of an active infection. Baptisia tinctoria, commonly known as wild indigo, has also been shown to significantly reduce the intensity and duration of acute upper respiratory symptoms.Hydrastis sinensis, more commonly known as goldenseal, is indicated in catarrhal conditions as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial and respiratory tonic. These actions are achieved through the potent alkaloids berberine and hydrastine. Astragalus membranaceus and its active ingredients pair well with goldenseal due to its demonstrated effectiveness in controlling the symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis.Astragalus membranaceus acts as an immunomodulatory agent that upregulates the expression of immune cells, particularly CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes, various cytokines, and macrophages.The traditional herbs Schisandra fructus and Ligusticum willichia complete the formula. Schisandra fructus is classically used as an adaptogen with hepatoprotective effects, but it also possesses antitussive and expectorant actions beneficial in upper respiratory tract infections. Ligusticum willichia is a known antimicrobial and antiviral agent, particularly against upper respiratory tract infections. Collectively, the carefully selected blend of six standardized herbal extracts in IM-Matrix makes it a first-rate immunomodulatory and antimicrobial formula. IM-Matrix is designed as an effective agent against acute bacterial and viral respiratory tract infections. However, this formula is also effective in supporting the immune system in individuals with weak immunity or when used preventatively during times of stress.
Adults: Take 2 capsules, 2 times daily with food or as directed by a healthcare professional. For the relief of symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections, take at the first sign of infection.
