Yes. As you get older, it gets more difficult for your muscles to bounce back after exercise. In general, you simply do not recover as fast as you did when you were younger. This makes it significantly harder to train, especially after 40. Your body needs help. That’s where 2^ND WIND comes in, greatly enhancing your body’s ability to recover and helping to restore your younger recovery time.

Yes, taking 2ND WIND has been shown to reduce recovery time. In clinical trials, subjects taking 2^ND WIND experience better clearance of lactate from the blood. This means that the body was better able to utilize lactate as a fuel. Lactate is also used by the body to replenish glycogen stores, another part of the recovery process. In addition, most people find that taking 2ND WIND reduces their soreness, helping them to return to exercise more quickly.

Shorter recovery time translates to better, harder, more effective training.

Each bottle includes 60 capsules. This will last you 30 days when taking 2 capsules per day.

Take 2ND WIND every day, on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning.

If you take 2ND WIND as directed every day, you should notice the benefits in about two weeks, though many notice a quicker recovery time sooner.

2ND WIND will improve your endurance, fight muscle fatigue, and speed your recovery time keeping you going longer, faster, and stronger. Most important, 2ND WIND allows you to train harder.

2ND WIND’s unique and precise synergistic combination of ingredients helps to clear lactate from the bloodstream faster and circulate it to the rest of the body so that it can be used as an additional fuel source for exercise and other energy demands, improving your performance and reducing muscle recovery time.

Because you recover so much faster, you feel incredible during training, not tired and crampy. This allows you to train harder and better. This is what is going to give you the edge to win and beat your own best record.

While it is not necessary to load, many athletes report faster results when starting with a loading dose of  3 capsules per day for a period of two weeks. The studies show that taking 1 gram of 2ND WIND daily (2 capsules) is effective in improving the clearance of lactate from the bloodstream. This is the recommended dosage.

2ND WIND speeds muscle recovery, improves performance, and increases endurance and stamina. Many athletes also report a reduction in muscle soreness following exertion.

2ND WIND is a precise and proprietary blend of mushroom extracts, eleuthero root extract, tangerine peel extract, and Asian ginseng root extract. This exact combination does two key things to enhance your performance.

First, 2ND WIND increases microcirculation to the muscles, improving the distribution of oxygen to the body (to keep the energy processes in the body going) while also removing waste products, such as lactate, and redistributing it so it can be utilized for fuel.

And second, 2ND WIND enhances the immune system, which is key to having good energy.

2ND WIND has been tested for banned substances by two independent laboratories* and has been found to contain no banned substances. None of the ingredients in 2ND WIND are on the banned substances list.

AllerDx supports healthy nasal structure and function with improved airflow with respect to seasonal environmental sensitivities and challenges. AllerDx moderates the body’s reaction to the external environment by addressing the causes and effects of environmental sensitivity.

Anyone that has any type of seasonal environmental sensitivity including dust, pollen, and pet dander.

Yes, Adults can take a maintenance dose of 2 capsules per day. For immediate use adults can take 2-4 capsules up to 3-4 times per day, as needed.

We believe AllerDx to be one of the best proprietary herbal formulas to improve nasal airflow when challenged with seasonal environmental sensitivities.

AllerDx has been tested in two randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover clinical trials. One was a 3-day study, and the other was a longer one month study. In each trial subjects with histories of seasonal environmental sensitivity completed both placebo (n=20) and treatment (n=20) group protocols. Study results showed that within 15 minutes, the subjects who received AllerDx showed statistically significant improvement in an objective measurement of nasal airflow compared to subjects that received placebo.  In the four-week study, subjects were less reactive to histamine after taking 3 capsules per day for the first two weeks and 2 capsules per day for the second two-week period, showing a preventive health maintenance immune benefit.

ImmuneDx is used to stay well. It can be used over the long term in low doses, or when you feel particularly susceptible, you can take 2 caps at a time, up to 12 caps daily while fighting something off. If you have succumbed -progressed from a tickle in your throat to a sore throat, for example, then you will want to switch to ColdDx, which has cooling and detoxifying herbs to help you feel better. For this purpose, ColdDx may be taken 2 caps at a time, up to 12 caps/day for up to weeks as needed.

To rebalance inflammation related cytokine reactions in the body, low doses of ColdDx (1-2 caps once or twice a day) may be taken on a more ongoing basis. Once ColdDx has restored balance to your immune system, ImmuneDx can be taken to build back up a depleted immune system.

Everyone’s body is unique, so there’s no one-size-fits-all option that is truly right for everyone. Scientists use standardized serving regimens for convenience in conducting clinical trials, not because those regimens really provide what each individual needs. We invite each customer to tune in to their body and respect the signals their body provides. Experiment and see what works for you!

Your body’s physiology is complicated. Your diet, lifestyle, genetics, and environment all conspire to cause the imbalances that progressively lead you away from optimal health; restoring that health requires a complex suite of ingredients which work together, often on multiple organ systems and physiologic pathways, to rebuild the foundations of vibrant well-being.

Wherever possible, Plantiva’s products are formulated to address not only underlying physiologic imbalances but also the immediate discomfort they can cause.

Plantiva’s formulas are developed under the direction of Dr. Stephen Morrissey OMD, former chair of the Department of Oriental Medicine at Bastyr University. Dr. Morrissey has decades of experience treating patients and has combined acupuncture, herbalism, and biophysics into a uniquely effective formulation system for herbal healthcare products. His formulas were originally developed and refined during his years of clinical practice and have later been scientifically validated using everything from bioassays to double blind clinical studies. Plantiva was formed to make these invaluable products available to the general public.

Everyone that is exposed to immune challenges due to fatigue, exposure and stress.

The ingredient combination in ImmuneDx is unique in that it provides both strength and balance to the immune system.  The immune system not only becomes weak with age, stress, lack of sleep, and other factors, but immune activity can also become unbalanced and even over-zealous.  ImmuneDx has two physiologic targets: one is providing nourishment to strengthen immune energy; and, the second is to provide balance to immune cells that can easily become over-active.  This approach is critical to providing the immune system with the balanced activity levels as well as the strength it needs to defend your body.  For these reasons, we believe ImmuneDx to be one of the best proprietary formulas for maintaining immune health when facing stresses such as seasonal changes, fatigue, over-exercise, and exposure to environmental stress.

ImmuneDx has shown to be effective in maintaining a strong and balanced immune system when facing stresses such as seasonal changes, fatigue, over-exercise, and exposure to environmental stresses.  If you want to stay active, keep your immune system healthy.

At the first sign of an occasional immune challenge, dosage may be increased to up to four capsules, four times per day. In our experience with the product, after taking a large dose the benefits can be noticed within 24 hours; however, there is no clinical data to support this.

Yes, Adults 18+ can take 2-3 capsules once a day 5 days per week, or 2 weeks on and 1 week off. For immediate use adults take 3-4 capsules up to 3 times a day.

Yes, ImmuneDx has been evaluated in multiple blinded controlled studies.  ImmuneDx has shown to reduce the incidence of upper respiratory immune challenges by over 60% versus placebo.  It has also shown to reduce severity and showed a strong trend toward reducing the duration of immune challenges.  ImmuneDx has also shown, versus placebo, to reverse signs of ageing of the immune system, including:  increases the production of white blood cells (both T and B cells); increases the production of antibodies; increases the phagocytic activity of macrophages, indicating that these immune cells gain more energy from ImmuneDx.
