Your immune system is your most valuable weapon against the herpes and cold sore virus - it is your body's natural defense mechanism.

Your immune system is responsible for your recovery during an outbreak, as well as controlling the frequency and severity of re-occurrences. 

1. Olive Leaf
2. Andrographis
3. Echinacea

These are some of the herbs that can help to boost your immune system and improve your body’s resistance against retroviruses, such as herpes, at the same time.

They are specifically effective for herpes conditions because they have “antiviral” properties while also being powerful immune stimulators. 

Olive Leaf has been proven to reduce Viral Shedding in Clinical Trials (this helps to reduce a major risk factor in relation to spreading and preventing herpes).

Andrographis inhibits herpes virus activity in vitro and improves the level of killer T-helper cells (cells in your immune system that are essential to control viruses).

Echinacea assists the body in the formulation of "interferon", a compound which blocks replication of virus proteins.  Echinacea also increases levels of "properdin".   This is a protein in the body that helps the immune system destroy viruses.

A reliable source for these herbs is a supplement called Immune Support.  It contains a specific herb combination designed to boost immune function against the herpes virus (Andrographis, Olive Leaf and Echinacea) and is made to strict safety and quality standards.  To help manage herpes and cold sore outbreaks, take this supplement daily and increase the dosage whenever you have active symptoms (as per the recommended dosage).

Benefits of taking Immune Support:

1.      Boosts your body's immune resistance against the virus
2.      Naturally helps to reduce viral shedding
