Protease IM
(formerly ImmunZyme)

Quercitin, a bioflavanoid, is best taken in conjunction with protease for enhanced absorption. It helps fight the common cold when combined with Vitamin C. It also has exceptional antiviral activity against rhinoviruses, ECHO, and Coxsackie viruses.

Used at the first sign of possible symptoms, Goldenseal Root can stop the development of a cold, flu, or sore throat. It is a medicinal tonic, laxative, diuretic, astringent and antiseptic with antibiotic and immunostimulatory properties. It contains phytochemicals such as berberine, beta-carotene, canadine, and chlorogenic acid, which help to fight infection and inflammation along with strengthening the immune system.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral and antioxidant involved in a variety of metabolic processes. It promotes the destruction of foreign microorganisms and is required for optimal white blood cell activity. A constituent of more than 2000 enzymes, it decreases susceptibility to recurrent infections, colds and flu.

The origination of all cells of the immune system, Raw Bone Marrow is known as myeloid tissue. It produces new white blood cells, platelets, B cells, killer cells, granulocytes, and thymocytes. It is also essential to the manufacture and maturation of red bloods cells and of those white cells that stay to support the immune system as oppose to maturing elsewhere.

Protease is a proteolytic enzyme with immunomodulatory benefits, it promotes normal blood flow and helps hydrolyze oxidized proteins, thereby, eliminating the free radical damage process. Typically used as a digestive aid, it helps prevent swelling/edema, promotes smooth muscle relaxation, provides sinusitis relief and enhances antibiotic absorption.

Unable to be manufactured by the body, Vitamin C (from sago palm and magnesium ascorbate) must be obtained from diet or supplementation. It contains antibacterial and antiviral capabilities and is required for elevation and production of interferon, increase of white blood cell response and capability, increase of thymic hormones secretions, improvement of the integrity of mucous membrane linings, and form and repair of red blood cells.

As a natural blood thinner that purifies the blood, Red Clover has expectorant, antispasmodic, and relaxing effects. It fights infection and if effective in alleviating coughs, bronchitis, inflamed lungs, and a weakened immune system.

It has immune-enhancing properties and hence plays an essential role in the prevention of influenza. The results of a study demonstrated that Eleutherococcus extract inhibited the replication of all RNA viruses studied so far demonstrating stable antiviral activity.

As a fat soluble vitamin in its beta-carotene form, Vitamin A (beta-carotene and Vit A. palmitate) is selectively absorbed by the body. Vitamin A deficiency has been associated with damaged epithelial structures that often become infected and, therefore, Vitamin A has been called the "anti-infection" vitamin. It wards off infection and supports the mucous membranes in addition to prompting the secretion of gastric juices essential for protein digestion. It enhances the production of RNA and contains antioxidant properties in the form of cartenoids, which help to eliminate any free radical damage.

A component of the immune system and the primary central gland of the lymphatic system, Thymus Substance is the site of maturation for T cells, which are involved in regulating secretions of interleukin-1, interleukin-2, and interferon. They are also responsible for the activation of B cells, which is essential for the production of antibodies.

Tzyme® Enzyme Blend is Transformation's proprietary Enzyme Delivery System is a mechanism comprising of amylase, lipase, cellulase, and pectase, it insures the nutrient acquisition and absorption of the above dietary ingredients.
