Engystol® is a homeopathic medicine that has been shown to have a dual mode of action that boosts your immune system and together with its antiviral activity fights off flu-like infections and colds: 1,3,4,9

Studies have shown that Engystol® does the following in your body:

• Increases the number and activity of scavenger cells, called phagocytes that remove the virus from your respiratory tract. 1
• Reduces the inflammation caused by the infection. 1
• Stimulates your immune system to produce antiviral compounds, known as interferons that weaken the virus. Interferons also play a significant role in regulating immune responses. 3,4
• Provides antiviral activity against viruses such as the Rhinovirus type 14, the Adenovirus type 5, and the Respiratory Syncytial Virus or RSV. 4,9
