Here’s just a few examples of nature’s wisdom in immune support, and how  New Chapter  helps to deliver it.

Elderberry
The elderberry is a dark purple berry that grows in many European countries, particularly Austria, and has long been trusted there for its immune support properties. Israeli research has demonstrated significant potential of this fruit extract's components to support healthy immune function, and recent German research showed that elderberry anthocyanins enhance immune function by boosting the production of cytokines.* These unique proteins act as messengers in the immune system to help regulate immune response. You’ll find the wisdom of elderberry in New Chapter’s Immunity Take Care.

Ginger
This “superherb” has been used for thousands of years worldwide for its numerous potent healing benefits, and it's also a superb digestive aid and nausea reliever. New Chapter’s Gingerforce™ is the world's most potent full-spectrum ginger extract, at least 250 times the concentration of fresh ginger. Because this is a full-spectrum extract, it contains hundreds of naturally occurring beneficial ingredients not similarly present in other extracts. In fact, recent British research shows ginger has at least 12 phytocompounds with immune-defensive benefits.

Garlic
This renowned antioxidant is universally appreciated for its cardiovascular benefits. New Chapter's Garlicforce,™ the world's first and only dual extract of supercritical and ethanolic garlic, contains the purest, highest and broadest spectrum of stable sulphur-nutrients from allicin, such as ajoene, dithiins, and alkyl-polysulfides, the very center of activity of garlic. And because ginger has been proven to significantly potentiate the activity of garlic, New Chapter’s Garlicforce™ also includes supercritical ginger to maximize the free-radical scavenging and cardiovascular benefits of this amazing herb.*

Probiotics
Remember that probiotics are the healthy bacteria that play a vital role in our immune system’s ability to defend against virus and infection. New Chapter’s Probiotic Immune Support™ features 10 beneficial strains, including the Lacto 5™ and Bifido 4™ cultures -- the best researched probiotic species with immune-active (B. longum) and digestive health benefits (L. plantarum).* Best of all, these precious bacteria are cultured in immune-boosting organic fruits, vegetables and herbs such as American elderberry, spinach, parsley, okra, oregano, cumin, ginger, milk and nutritional yeast.*

Echinacea
The Echinacea flower is one of the most researched plants in the herbal pharmacopia. As with any plant, the type and level of immune supporting phenol compounds vary greatly from species to species. Our echinacea is a full spectrum dual extract of two species, E. angustifolia and E. purpurea, offering all the historic and researched benefits of this remarkable herb. It’s immunoactive effects are enhanced by ginger's synergistic phytonutrients in New Chapter’s Immune Support-Echinacea Ginger Tonic, which also includes organic honey and organic lemon oil. Additionally, Echinacea plays an important role in New Chapter’s Sinus and Respiratory, which optimizes wellness through dozens of confirmed immunoactive botanical pathways.*

Health Risks of Acetaminophen

Stop in to find safe alternatives to these potentially life threatening over the counter products!

As you have likely seen in the news, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed the health risks of acetaminophen last week.  Stories have appeared in a number of prominent media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press (AP), Reuters, and ABC, all of which document research that shows acetaminophen is the leading cause of liver failure in the US. While the numbers aren't completely clear, a briefing memo by the FDA cited one study that suggested acetaminophen overdoses were associated with 56,000 emergency room visits, 26,000 hospitalizations, and 458 deaths per year in the U.S. during the 1990s....

Why Doctors Recommend Zyflamend®
by Richard L. Sarnat M.D., President and Cofounder of Alternative Medicine Integration Group

"I have been an integrative physician for over twenty-five years and I am the founder of one of the nation’s leading networks of integrative health care professionals. In my professional opinion, New Chapter’s Zyflamend® is the premier herbal strategy for total body health. I say this because modern science now recognizes that the health of major organ systems – immune, cardiovascular, metabolic, skeletal, the brain – is intimately connected to a healthy inflammation response, and Zyflamend represents the finest herbal approach to supporting a well-functioning inflammatory process. I also have confidence in Zyflamend because it provides the finest extracts of select herbs that are time-tested, by many millions of people for thousands of years, for efficacy and safety. And as a physician, it is also of great importance to me that Zyflamend is supported by scientific research from respected research centers such as Columbia University and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Simply put, I recommend Zyflamend with enthusiasm to physicians and patients alike. Here are the most frequently asked questions I have encountered with Zyflamend and some brief answers.
