Uña de gato (cat's claw) is one of the most widely used herbal vines of the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon Indians have used the bark to make a nourishing tea for hundreds of years. Recently, scientific studies by Austrian scientist, Dr. Klaus Keplinger, confirm uña de gato's ability to strengthen the immune system. The root and inner bark of the vine are equally effective, because they both contain the same active ingredients – oxindole alkaloids. Two in-vitro tests by Dr. Keplinger, and another study by German researcher, Dr. H. Wagner, demonstrate that the alkaloids may increase macrophage activity, an important immune system response. Dr. Brent David in the United States has also had some success using the herb to cleanse the intestinal tract.

Astragalus is a traditional Chinese tonic herb that has been used for centuries to enhance the body's natural defense system. Astragalus supports the activity of killer T-cells, strategic players in the body's defense system.

Reishi, shiitake, and maitake mushrooms provide polysaccharide complexes that provide specific support for T-cells. By enhancing the proliferation of activated T-cells, they may increase the effectiveness of white blood cells' natural immune-building support.
