Blockade (Immunity Take Care) with ViraBloc

FAQ's

 
Q: What is BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) designed to do for me and my family?
A: BLOCKADE is designed to enhance and provide for a more resilient state of the immune system which is key to maintaining good health.

Q: Is BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) a drug?
A: No. It is neither an OTC or prescription drug. New Chapter's BLOCKADE is a dietary supplement. A type of food that you can take daily to maintain good health for you and your family. Because of BLOCKADE's regulatory classification, we are able to tell you about its unique benefits to the structure and function of your body. And, because of its breakthrough dose-to-dose reliability, we are able to illustrate, in detail, how the product's blocking "mechanism of action" works within your body to deliver these benefits.

Q: How can you claim that BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) blocks up to 100% of virus entry and hence replication?
A: Laboratory studies conducted by an experienced team of virologists, biochemists and microbiologists show that when viruses are combined with BLOCKADE with Virabloc, it is possible to inhibit virus entry into host cells by up to 100%. Without the ability to enter host cells, viruses cannot replicate. The researchers further established the concentration necessary to achieve this effect and applied this information when determining the suggested serving size of BLOCKADE.

Q: How does BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) block viruses?
A: BLOCKADE contains optimized levels of bioactives shown in laboratory studies to bind to specific surface proteins on viruses required for host cell attachment and entry. When these proteins are coated with BLOCKADE bioactives, the viruses are blocked from entering human cells and multiplying. Further studies using cutting edge technology known as DART (Direct Analysis in Real Time) have allowed researchers to identify the specific bioactives involved in this virus blocking action. These active chemistries are part of a class of plant compounds known as flavonoids, and optimized and consistent amounts are found in every serving of BLOCKAID with ViraBloc.

Q: How does BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) differ from other commercially available elderberry extracts?
A: The elderberry extract in BLOCKADE is created using a proprietary extraction process which employs supercritical carbon dioxide extraction and affinity chromatography. This innovative technology allows for the production of a complex and complete herbal extract with over 1,000 natural chemistries represented, including optimized quantities of the bioactives identified as being responsible for elderberry’s virus blocking action. Other commercially available elderberry extracts can have many fewer bioactives and thus can be deficient in those critical for virus blocking. Additionally, the unique extraction process utilized for the production of NewChapter's BLOCKADE with ViraBlock allows, for the first time, the production of an herbal extract that is consistent from batch-to-batch and dose-to-dose. Analysis of other commercially available elderberry extracts shows a wide variation of bioactives represented, even from lozenges sampled from the same bottle.

Q: Dose-to-dose consistency had never been fully achieved before in the herbal industry. How did the makers of BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) do it?
A: First, a fingerprint of the desired extract, one with optimized levels of the active virus blocking bioactives, had to be created. This was only possible through use of a supercritical carbon dioxide and affinity chromatography extraction process and the use of a cutting edge technology known as DART (Direct Analysis in Real Time) to verify the chemical composition. The extraction process was then optimized to generate the defined fingerprint every time, yielding for the first time a dose-reliable product.

Q: Does BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) contain isolated plant constituents?
A: No, it is a whole herb/fruit extract delivering more than 1,000 constituents present in whole elderberry. Other commercially available elderberry extracts can contain many fewer constituents and thus fail to deliver the full potential therapeutic intelligence of this herb.

Q: How quickly does BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) start working?
A: A human bioavailability study with BLOCKADE indicates that the virus blocking class of bioactives are taken up into the bloodstream within minutes.

Q: Does BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) block entry of all viruses?
A: No. The blocking action of NewChapter's BLOCKADE was originally discovered to block "enveloped" viruses (such as influenza). Enveloped viruses are those which have a coat (envelope) made up of lipids, phospholipids and proteins with specific sugars attached to them on their outer surface. The bioactives in BLOCKADE with ViraBlock, work by binding to these coat molecules with sugars, and, as a result block the ability of the viruses to enter host cells.

Q: Is the research on BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) published?
A: Not yet. Study findings have been summarized and these scientific overviews have been submitted to several major professional journals and are undergoing the customary "peer review" process prior to publication.

Q: Have human clinical trials being conducted on BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) ?
A: A human pharmacokinetic trial examining the bioavailablity of the bioactives in BLOCKADE has been conducted. Additionally, a human clinical trial examining NewChapter's BLOCKADE's efficacy is being conducted by a major medical institution in Asia.

Q: What is the suggested use for BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) ?
A: Take one lozenge daily to help maintain healthy immune cells and to protect against enveloped viruses. If enhanced defense is desired, take two lozenges daily.

Q: How does BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) taste?
A: BLOCKADE is a delicious all natural blueberry-flavored lozenge.

Q: Is BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) safe to take every day?
A: Yes. In-vitro studies show that the extract in BLOCKADE has an action selective to viruses and does not demonstrate toxic effects on healthy cells. In fact, elderberry has been used for centuries as a tonic for upper respiratory maladies and is consumed daily in many European countries to promote immune health.

Q: Are there any known side effects or drug interactions for BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) ?
A: No, none that have been identified.

Q: Is BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) safe for pregnant women, nursing women and children?
A: Yes. But as with any dietary supplement, we recommend that a pregnant woman advise her health care practitioner of the use of BLOCKAID.

Q: What is cyclodextrin and why is it in BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care)?
A: Cyclodextrin is a carbohydrate compound derived from starches. It possesses a unique ability to bind to fat-soluble compounds and make them more water-soluble. It also serves to bind the ingredients in BLOCKADE together to form the quick dissolve lozenge. And it enhances absorption of the fat-soluble bioactives present in the extract.

Q: Does BLOCKADE (Immunity Take Care) contain any animal products? Is it suitable for vegetarians?
A: BLOCKADE does not contain any animal products and is fully suitable for vegetarians.
