Washington, NJ (June 17, 2009) -- Herbalist & Alchemist has just introduced Immune Adapt™ Capsules, an encapsulated form of the company’s best seller Fu Zheng Compound. The product, developed by noted herbalist David Winston RH (AHG), author of the book Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina and Stress Relief, is named to reflect its purpose: to support healthy immune function.

Herbalist & Alchemist products were originally conceived by Winston for use by clinical herbalists, who prefer tinctures. The Herbalist & Alchemist line is primarily liquid extracts, with the exception of their unique Solid Extracts. Immune Adapt is only the second formula in the company’s line to be encapsulated, following Osteo Herb Capsules.

“Sourcing herbs for encapsulated products requires tremendous care to meet our very high quality standards,” said Herbalist & Alchemist CEO Beth Lambert. “After exhaustive research, we have developed suppliers whose botanicals pass the extensive tests we conduct with Rutgers University and other outside quality control labs. These products are clean, safe and effective.”

Immune Adapt formula contains powdered extracts of Astragalus root (Astragalus membranaceus), Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum), Schisandra berry (Schisandra chinensis), Eleuthero root (Eleutherococcus senticosis), Maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa), Ligustrum berry (Ligustrum lucidum), Bai Zhu Atractylodes root (Atractylodes macrocephalae) and Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) in a vegetable-based capsule.

Suggested use is two capsules twice daily. For chronic conditions, this formula can and should be taken continuously for an extended period of time. Immune Adapt has a suggested retail price of $39.95 for 120 capsules.

Herbalist & Alchemist’s products are formulated by company founder David Winston, an internationally known lecturer, author and ethnobotanist. For almost 40 years, David has been studying, practicing, teaching and researching Cherokee, Chinese and Western herbal medicine. David’s world-renowned two-year herbal studies program has been educating Herbalists, Physicians, Nurses, Naturopathic Physicians, Veterinarians, and Nutritionists in the art and science of clinical herbal medicine for over 25 years.
