ILEX 15 (Seven Forests Brand) 100 tablets 700 mg per tablet
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This product is designed for humans, although pets can take it safely if they have a viral infection. This product is one of many offerings on this website to help keep humans healthy and happy so they can continue to care for their beloved pets.
This Chinese herbal product is recommended as an anti-viral agent to either help to protect from viral diseases or to help the body overcome these invisible agents of disease.
Based on feedback from the SARS epidemic in 2003-2004, the herbs in this formula were very helpful. This doesn't substitute for social distancing or self-quarantines, but may give a competitive protective edge.
Ilex 15 is an antitoxin wind-dispelling formula based on three popular patent remedies for treating acute ailments, such as common cold and influenza: Yin Qiao Jie du Pian (see Pine Mountain), Gan mao Ling, and Zhong Gan Ling (Effective Remedy for Common Cold). Ilex 15 has been used as a substitute for the Chinese patents for more than a decade, with excellent reports. Some individuals have utilized Ilex 15, at moderate dosage (about 6-9 tablets per day) during the winter season when colds and flu are most common, for the purpose of preventing illness. This application, using a detoxification approach, differs from use of another formula, Jade Screen Tablets, which emphasizes tonification of qi to protect against illness. For treating an infection, the most effective use of Ilex 15 is at the first sign of symptoms, such as scratchy throat or sniffles, in which case it may interrupt the development of the disease, with symptoms alleviated within a day or so by taking a large dosage (about 5-6 tablets each time) several times.
