Russian
Choice GI contains proprietary blend of Russian Choice Immune
Powder (specially prepared lactobacillus cell wall fragments),
and extracts of three traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs,
atractylodes, poria and Chinese yam. Russian Choice GI provides
synergistic support for immunity, and gastrointestinal detoxification
and health.*
The
cell wall fragments in Russian Choice GI are made from a specific
strain of lactobacillus, first identified in the 1980s by
Russian researchers as Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp bulgaricus.
More precise modern technology has allowed us to identify
it as a particular strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Probiotic
bacteria are known to stimulate both the innate and adaptive
immune system, and recently some scientists have begun calling
them ‘immunobiotics’. The cell walls of these
immunobiotic lactobacilli are broken apart, or lysed, which
frees the immune-active protein that are usually sequestered
inside the cells to have unimpeded access to trigger and magnify
the immune system response.* Although probiotics and cultured
milk products have immune supporting properties, these cell
wall fragments appear to be much more powerful immune system
stimulators.* The cell wall fragments in this formula will
not directly supplement the local live gut flora, but they
may promote a healthy gut environment, downregulate mucosal
secretions and activate the local immune response.*
Because
they can drive mucosal immune mechanisms, immunobiotic cell
wall fragments mat have effects beyond their location in the
gut.* They may activate and regulate the common mucosal immune
apparatus and help restore mucosal T cell balance, which can
potentially enhance immunomodulation at distant mucosal sites.*
The possible mechanisms of action include activating Peyer’s
patch T cells, potentially stimulating the circulating pool
of T lympocytes and macrophage phagocytosis; and changing
the cytokine balance, including TH1 cell-dependent activation
of neutrophils, increasing 1NF-y and decreasing IL-4, and
enabling both TH1 and TH2 cytokine response.
After
extensive laboratory tests, these lactobacilli cell wall fragments
were used in clinical trails in 1992 at the State Cancer Hospital
in St. Petersburg, Russia, in a wide variety of in vivo situation
requiring immune system support.* Since then, cell wall fragments
of lactobacillus strains have been used in Europe as immune
stimulators for many years, and have consistently demonstrated
efficacy.*
Atractylodes
is a digestive, liver and gall bladder tonic.* In TCM, it
is thought to support the functions of the stomach and spleen,
the organs responsible for good digestion.* Its actions also
include detoxification, promotion of the non-specific immune
response, and nurturing the function of the adrenal cortex.*
Poria,
or fu ling, is a solid fungus that grows on the roots of dead
pine trees. It has been widely used in TCM since ancient times,
and has traditionally been used as a tonic for the internal
organs. Including the spleen, lung, kidney, triple warmer,
heart, bladder and gall bladder, and for skin health.* As
a yin tonic, it helps regulate body fluid and supports the
circulation of chi in the triple warmer.* It is calming to
the nervous system, has diuretic effects, and plays a role
in blood sugar regulation within normal levels.*
Chinese
yam (Sham Yao) tubers are a traditional food source in Asia,
and a key ingredient in ‘the herb of eight ingredients”,
a traditional TCM preparation.* In TCM, Shan Yao is considered
a sweet substance that soothes and stimulates the stomach
and spleen and tonifies the lungs and kidneys.* It is thought
to be digestive, and has traditionally been used for energy,
to support appetite, digection and weight gain.*
Russian
Choice GI is an enhanced combination of immunobiotic cell
wall fragments and three important Chinese herbs, It has been
clinically reported to be a quick-acting support for healthy
conditions of the GI tract, and to support the immune response
in the gut and overall.*
