Multi-Pathway Botanical Support for Immune Resilience and Barrier Defense*
What It Does
PhytoTick Defense delivers a blend of botanicals and fungi that support balanced immune responses, healthy microbial ecosystems, and robust barrier function across the gut, respiratory tract, and endothelium.* Designed to support immune surveillance and response at both cellular and mucosal levels, this comprehensive formula promotes immune modulation, microbial harmony, and resilience under environmental stress.*
How It Works
• Artemisia annua: Provides artemisinin and other bioactives that support innate immune responses, cytokine balance, gut microbial ecology, and neuroprotective signaling.*[1–4]
• Houttuynia cordata: Contains quercetin, polysaccharides, and houttuynin that modulate immune signaling, support mucosal immunity, and influence microbiota composition.*[5]
• Uncaria tomentosa (Cat’s Claw): Delivers alkaloids and antioxidants that enhance white blood cell activity and strengthen endothelial barrier integrity, supporting innate immune defense.*[6–9]
• Coptis chinensis: A source of berberine and coptisine that support gut barrier health, microbial balance, and antioxidant activity, with added neuroprotective potential.*[10,11]
• Cordyceps sinensis: Supplies cordycepin and ergosterol to support immune function across tissues including brain, lung, and kidney via immunomodulatory pathways.*[12–14]
• Hericium erinaceus (Lion’s Mane): Enhances mucosal immunity by supporting secretory IgA and microbial balance, with additional effects on neuronal growth, mood, and sleep quality.*[15–17]
• Beta-glucan (1,3/1,6): A fungal-derived immunomodulator that activates macrophages and dendritic cells, enhances peptide production, and serves as a fermentable prebiotic for gut health.*[18,19]
Who It’s For
Ideal for individuals needing comprehensive, plant-based immune support that addresses both internal immune signaling and external barrier integrity, especially useful during high-exposure seasons or for those seeking proactive support for immune regulation, gut health, and microbial balance.*
Special Features
PhytoTick Defense is formulated with a focus on purity, potency, and clinical relevance, combining traditionally revered botanicals with modern research to support both the innate and adaptive immune systems. It integrates barrier, microbial, and cellular support into one daily formula.*
A robust, research-informed formula offering layered botanical defense across immune, barrier, and microbial pathways.*
