Someone trying to manage asthma nutritionally may initially need to take 2 (or more) times the daily dosage of the following supplements, until they get it under control.

OmegaGuard is the perfect natural anti-inflammatory, and it is also associated with the health and function of the brain, heart, lungs, and the joints of the body. [33] OmegaGuard is unique because it contains a full spectrum of all 7 of the naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids in significant clinical dosages. Because of their patented, proprietary triple molecular distillation process, Shaklee concentrates all theses anti-inflammatory benefits while eliminating the presence of pollutants (mercury, lead and PCBs) that pollute the fish in our seas.

Nutriferon Developed and extensively tested by the world-renowned immunologist Dr. Yasuhiki Kojima of Japan, this proprietary blend of natural plant extracts is derived from pumpkin seeds, safflower flowers, plantago seeds and Japanese honeysuckle flower buds. Nutriferon supports and stimulates the immune system by increasing the activity of macrophages (white blood cells) and inducing natural interferon production. [34]

It optimizes the body’s immune response against environmental irritants and airborne substances, as with allergies [35], [36], and reduces menopause-related symptoms. [37] No adverse reactions to these plant extracts have been recorded. And, best of all, Shaklee has worldwide distribution rights to this amazing product.

Alfalfa Complex Organic alfalfa contains a unique compound called medicarpin. Research has shown that this phytoalexin is so effective that a pharmaceutical company patented a synthetic version of it as a therapeutic agent for treating allergic conditions, asthma, cardiovascular disorders, and inflammation. [38] Alfalfa is a natural antihistamine and decongestant, and it is also effective for sinus problems, allergies, and reducing joint swelling, pain, and stiffness.

Sustained Release Vita-C Vitamin C helps the body produce white blood cells to fight infections. It’s also a natural antihistamine and anti-oxidant. Research suggests that vitamin C is especially useful in fending off the carcinogenic effects of pollution, cigarette smoke and other environmental pollutants. Dr. Gary E. Hatch of the Environmental Protection Agency recently stated that “[research shows that] There’s mounting evidence that vitamin C may protect against the wheezing, chest tightness and recurrent coughing of asthma.” Dr. Hatch also notes that vitamin C is the “main antioxidant in the fluid lining of the lung, thus it is the main protector against free radical chemicals, such as air pollutants, that can worsen asthma symptoms.”

Stress Relief Complex is designed to reduce the impact of stress on our health. It contains a combination of ingredients proven to reduce the stress reaction, primarily by blunting excessive cortisol release, as well as initiating the relaxation phase that extinguishes the fight-or-flight mechanism. Stress Relief contains: Ashwaganda: which shares many properties with ginseng. Considered a tonic, an astringent, a nervine, and a sedative, [39] ashwaganda has been used in Ayurvedic Medicine for more than 2,500 years. Recent studies demonstrate that ashwaganda is also immuno-modulating, and can provide support in cases of anxiety and other psychological complaints. [40]

SRC also contains Beta-sitosterol, a natural plant sterol that helps reduce cortisol levels. In a study with marathon runners in South Africa, participants receiving the “active” capsules had significantly decreased cortisol levels, less inflammatory response, and were less immune suppressed during the post-marathon recovery period. [41] Only Shaklee has crafted a science-based and research-proven herbal solution that can reduce the impact of stress, without inducing drowsiness.

VitalMag: Magnesium is extremely effective for the relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle tissue, resulting in a reduction of bronchospasm and increased airways diameter. Magnesium has also been demonstrated to reduce the histamine response. [42]

Mental Acuity: The primary ingredient, Ginkgo biloba has been used for centuries as a treatment for asthma and vascular insufficiency. Gingko is associated with the reduction of the inflammatory response, and also stimulates inhibition of platelet-activating factors — both are strongly associated with allergic attacks. [43]

Garlic Complex: Garlic is a powerful anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory agent. It helps reduce the symptoms of allergy, asthma, colds, flu, sinus infections, yeast infections, and diarrhea. It also provides heart-protective benefits by lowering elevated blood pressure and cholesterol levels. [44]
