Aller-7® is a unique, patented blend of seven standardized herbal extracts clinically tested to promote respiratory health and normal breathing seasonally and all year round. Aller-7® is all-natural, safe and effective in helping to promote healthy respiratory and immune systems, promote clear airway passages and normal breathing, stabilize mast cells (which promote respiratory health), and neutralize free radicals, which can damage the body's respiratory and immune systems. Aller-7® contains standardized levels of chebullic acid, corilagin,1,3,6,-trigalloyl glucose, gallic acid, ellagic acid, 6-gingerol and piperine extracted from:

• Phyllanthus emblica (fruit), also called Indian Gooseberry or Amla.
• Terminalia chebula (fruit), also called Harda or Haritaki.
• Terminalia bellerica (fruit), also called Bedda Nut Tree, Bahera or Kalidruma.
• Albizia lebbeck (bark), also called Indian Walnut.
• Zingiber officinale (root), also called Ginger Root.
• Piper longum (fruit), also called Indian Long Pepper.
• Piper nigrum (fruit), also called Black Pepper.

• Promotes healthy respiratory and immune systems*
• Promotes clear airway passages and normal breathing*
• Stabilizes mast cells, which promote respiratory health*
• Neutralizes free radicals, which can damage the body's respiratory and immune systems*

More than 40 million Americans suffer from seasonal or perennial airborne allergies caused by an over-active immune system. For relief, many turn to medications, which can cause side effects such as nervousness, fatigue, headache and drowsiness. Of course, the best solution is to maintain a healthy immune system before it becomes a problem.

"Allergy" is defined as a state of hypersensitivity or hyperimmunity caused by exposure to a particular antigen (allergen) such as pollen, mold, dust, mite and animal dander. Upon subsequent exposure to an allergen, the body's immune system often over reacts, causing common allergic symptoms such as nasal blockage, itching of the nose, sneezing and rhinorrhoea (runny nose). The initial stages of airborne allergies ("hay fever") are seasonal in nature, but later often become perennial (year-round).

Allergies are the result of a cascade of events that trigger an allergic response by the body's immune system. First, an allergen such as pollen comes into contact with a specific cell in the body's immune system called an "antigen presenting cell." This in turn triggers T-cell's to release interleukins IL-4 and IL-5. These interleukins then activate B-cells to release antibodies, which are specific to the antigen (i.e. pollen) that first came into contact with the body's immune system.

Once the specific antibodies are released they travel around the body and attach themselves to mast cells, which are storehouses of inflammatory mediators such as histamine. The next time the body's immune system comes into contact with the anitgen (i.e. pollen), it binds to the antibody that is bound to the mast cell, which causes the mast cell to degranulate (breakdown). This, in turn, causes the release of histamine and other inflammatory substances that irritate the epithelial cells of the nose and throat, producing the symptoms of allergy such as runny nose, coughing, sneezing, etc. Aller-7® works by promoting a healthy immune system before it becomes a problem.

Aller-7® is a patented, proprietary blend of seven standardized herbal extracts, which when used in combination with a proper diet, promotes respiratory health and normal breathing seasonally and all year round. In vitro, in vivo and human clinical studies have shown that Aller-7®:

• Stabilizes mast cells*
• Inhibits trypsin activity*
• Inhibits hyaluronidase activity*
• Promotes anti-5-hydroxytryptamine activity*
• Promotes antioxidant activity*
• Is non-toxic, well-tolerated and safe to take*

More than 10 years in the making, Aller-7® is the most extensively researched all-natural product clinically proven to promote respiratory health and normal breathing seasonally and all year round. Starting with extensive knowledge and an evaluation of more than 50 plants possessing the most promising immune-enhancing properties and applying modern techniques of investigational science, numerous combinations of extracts were prepared and tested. In the end, one formula stood out above all others: a unique combination of seven standardized herbal extracts called Aller-7®. Subsequently, numerous clinical and sub-clinical studies, including multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials, have validated the safety, efficacy and tolerability of Aller-7®. In fact, it is so unique, Aller-7® has been granted U.S. Patent No. 6,730,332 with world-wide patents pending.
