FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Viralex Attack supports a rapid immune response to challenges towards the body’s immune system. The unique ingredient, EpiCor®, starts working in 2 hours, and along with the key ingredients Olive Leaf, Andrographis and Zinc, supports the body’s natural immune defences for optimal health and wellbeing.
Oleuropein is the main active ingredient found in olive leaf. It is responsible for the antiviral and antibacterial properties of olive leaf.
A traditional Chinese medicine, astragalus is used to proctect and support the immune system against colds and upper respiratory tract infections. Astragalus is also an adaptoge. It helps to protect the body against stress and speeds recovery from illnesses.
EpiCor is clinically researched to strengthen the body's defences by increasing antioxidant protection and supporting the immune response. EpiCor strengthens your body’s immune defenses in many ways. It helps reinforce your first and second lines of active defense, increases antioxidant protection and also may help support good gut health.
First Line of Defense. EpiCor strengthens a first line of active defense by helping increase secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) in saliva.* sIgA is the primary antibody found in mucus, tears, saliva, mother’s milk and other areas.1 When pathogens get to your skin, eyes, mouth and other mucus membranes, sIgA is there to help by trapping bacteria before they cause harm.2 So, what happens when the first line gets breached? That is when a second line of defense comes in.
Second Line of Defense. EpiCor strengthens a second line of active defense by helping increase Natural Killer (NK) cell activity.* NK cells are a type of white blood cell circulating in our blood and organs that are fast and effective in seeking out and destroying infected cells at the initial occurrence.3 NK cells are called “natural killer” because they don’t need to be activated by other cells to differentiate “good” cells from “bad” cells.4 This makes them much quicker to respond to keep your body healthy.
Antioxidants circulate in your blood and tissues and help protect from cellular oxidative damage, which may affect how your immune system works over time.5 EpiCor helps strengthen your immune defenses by increasing antioxidant power in as little as two hours.
Most people don’t know that around 70% of your immune cells are actually found in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Fewer still know how important a role beneficial bacteria play in proper immune function. Prebiotics are foods that nourish the beneficial bacteria, like bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, in your GI tract. Prebiotics help the good bacteria grow and multiply so your gut stays healthy. EpiCor has been shown to act like a prebiotic in sophisticated digestive system models.
