Km® is an excellent source of recommended daily minerals in particular: potassium, iron and iodine. Potassium is one of the minerals vital to human cells’ permeability and their inherent ability to absorb nutrients from foods. The formula includes a proprietary herbal extract blend of foliage, roots, flowers, barks and fruits selected for their purity and active ingredients by means of stringent quality control procedures. Most of the herbs are an antioxidant which detoxifies and prevents the production of free radicals. The properties of the carefully selected 14 botanicals that make up the Km® formula have been joined together at the molecular level creating a microscopic bonding.

Biomune OSFTM Plus is a combination of a special extract of antigen infused colostrum and whey with the herb Astragalus.   Indications: Biomune OSF Plus is a unique combination. Astragalus has a synergistic effect when used with Ai/E10®. It accelerates and optimizes immune system function.   Ai/E10®: The exclusive colostrum/whey extract named Ai/E10® is prepared using a patented and proprietary process. It supports healthy immune cell communication by providing a concentrate of immune system messengers, including interleukins, interferon, and other memory transfer factors. Ai/E10® also provides additional low molecular weight molecules including macrophages, lactoferrin, lysozymes, and polysaccharides.   ASTRAGALUS: Astragalus is a traditional Chinese herb that is known over the years for its proven immune enhancing properties. The "stem cells" in bone marrow are increased and their development is stimulated into active immune cells that are then released into the body. Essentially, every phase of immune system activity is affected by Astragalus including increased interferon production and resistance to viral conditions while enhancing NK and T cell function. It has also been shown to support the body in peripheral vascular disease, peripheral circulation and aids adrenal gland function that often needs support in chronic and degenerative health states.   Clinical studies show that Biomune OSFTM Plus is effective in consistently and dramatically increasing Natural Killer cell activity. Medical research has shown that low NK cell activity is present in most illness. A double blind study with antigen infused dialyzable bovine colostrum/whey shows its effectiveness as an immune system modulator.   Summary of clinical studies: The Use of Dialyzable Bovine Colostrum/Whey Extract in Conjunction with a Holistic Treatment Model for Natural Killer Cell Stimulation in Chronic Illness by Jesse A. Stoff, MD. This clinical study consists of 107 patients with an average treatment time of 13.2 months. The average initial Natural Killer (NK) cell activity was 18 Lytic Units (LU) and the average final NK cell was 246 LU. All patients in this study improved, went into remission or recovered. Conclusions: The Study Group demonstrated that increased NK activity paralleled restored resistance to illness and recovery from illness.   An Examination of Immune Response Modulation in Humans by Antigen Infused Dialyzable Bovine Colostrum/Whey Extract Utilizing a Double Blind Study by Jesse A. Stoff, MD. This study provides double blind evidence that the cytokines, peptide neuro-hormones and other informational molecules in Antigen Infused Dialyzable Bovine Colostrum/Whey Extract modulate and normalize immune function. Further, Antigen Infused Dialyzable Bovine Colostrum/Whey Extract demonstrates its effectiveness as a Biological Immune Response Modulator for increasing the protective functions of the immune system. Both studies are available from Matol Botanical International Ltd. upon request.   Directions for Use: One (1) or two (2) capsules every 2-3 hours when additional immune support is needed. Take one (1) capsule daily for maintenance.
