What is Engystol?
Engystol® is an immunostimulating homeopathic remedy which has been scientifically proven to significantly reduce the duration and severity of symptoms during an acute viral infection (when given as a treatment) and help protect against subsequent infections (when given as prophylaxis).
What does Engystol do?
The aim of treatment with
Engystol® is to activate and support the body’s endogenous defense mechanisms, ie, to:
• Strengthen the natural immune response in cases of viral invasion, resulting in milder symptoms and shorter recovery times.
• Protect against subsequent infections.
For example, taken either preventively or at the first signs of a cold,
Engystol® has been used empirically to prevent the development of acute symptoms.
Antiviral activity of Engystol
Basic research has revealed the activity of
Engystol® against viruses, such as adenovirus Type 5, Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV 1) and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and Human Rhino Virus (HRV).
In a clinical setting,
Engystol® has also been shown to shorten the time of infection and reduce antibody titres against influenza A.
These results were observed via a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for the prophylaxis of flu (influenza) and the common cold.
