Product Information: Biostim®

Product Information
Immune system booster

This product contains Glycoprotein extracted from the Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria and has been shown to increase the levels of white cells in blood. This in turn improves the body's ability to fend off attacks of colds and flu and other similar viruses.

A course of Biostim® is very popular in France as a yearly protection against physical “down time.”

Doses are two tablets, (1mg each) a day for eight days, then a 3-week break, then one tablet a day for eight days, a further 3-week break and finally one tablet a day for eight days (a total of 32 tablets).

The course may be repeated in three months and will normally suffice for one year. However, persons who are accustomed to infection, particularly airborne/ lung infections may want to cycle the above regime throughout the year.

Biostim® may also be taken on an occasional basis, such as at the onset of a cold, flu or airborne infections.

Lactose, Maize Starch, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Magnesium Sterate, Cellulose (Methyl), Di-Butyl-phthalate, Saccarose, Cellulose (Sodium Carbomethyl), Silica pecipitate, Talc, Polysorbate 80, Titanium dioxide, White wax

Phagocytosis:
These activate macrophages and stimulate polymorphous nucleates. This activity has been proven on live animals and on human cells in vitro.

Humor Immunity:
Encourages the maturation of B cells
Stimulates the secretion of immunoglobulin and the IgM-IgG switch effect.
Provides an Immuno adjutant effect
Activities the complement in vitro.

This activity has been demonstrated in both animals and in humans.

Immunity to Cellular Medications:
In vitro, it increases the cytotoxic properties of T-lymphocytes and increases NK activity. - In humans, it restores the reactions of coetaneous hyperactivity arrested in immunodepressed patients. Biostim is the first non-specific immunotherapy of bacteria origin, which can be taken not only by mouth, but also on a daily basis. By reactivating the immune system, Biostim protects against experimental bacteria or viral infections. Either in their intra or extra cellular development. This activity has been proved in both normal and immunodepressed animals. The efficacy of annual Biostim treatment has been shown in controlled experiments and double-checked with placebos.
