The onslaught of herbicides, pesticides, hormone regulators, preservatives in our food, chemicals and other pollutants in the atmosphere and the newly discovered leaching of antibiotics, antidepressants and hormones in our drinking water have created a severe situation for our compromised immune systems. We are continually bombarded with toxins that lower our body's ability to fight potential infection. Bio-Defender is a unique antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal formula recommended by clinical nutritionists for overall protection from environmental pathogens. Its ingredients are well documented in peer-reviewed research reports as shown below. The synergistic effects make it a powerful formulation to boost the body's natural defense - destroying virus, fungus and pathogenic bacteria without hurting the good ones. Packaging: Each bottle contains 56 capsules (a 2-week treatment course) Recommended Dosage: 2 capsules, 2 x per day BioDefender Ingredients: Monolaurin - An oil found naturally in mother's milk and coconuts.
