Phytoguard Extended (2 ounces) by Wise Woman Herbals

Formerly Phytoguard II. Promotes normal immune system function.

Take 15-60 drops, 1-4 times a day.

Astragalus membranaceus (astragalus), Ligustrum lucidum (ligustrum), Schisandra chinensis (wu wei zi), Glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice), Codonopsis pilosula (dang shen), Eleutherococcus senticosus (eleuthero/Siberian ginseng), and Atractylodes macrocephela (bai zhu).

Chronic large doses of licorice can mimic aldosteronism by increasing sodium resorption and potassium excretion by the kidney. Avoid using with pre-existing hypertension. The symptoms of pseudoaldosteronism are hypertension, edema and hypokalemia. If an individual is taking chemotherapy or radiation treatments, please consult the physician about using this formula because normal chemotherapeutic amounts of white blood cells are usually low and this formula may increase the white blood cell count. This will confuse the oncologist if they are not informed.
