WHAT IS AGAPĒ RESISTANCE?

A mixture of eight all natural, whole, and wild-crafted ingredients intended to promote general health and wellness in users seeking alternatives to synthetic supplements.*

Agapē Resistance is intended to:

• Restrain invading contagions to prevent their replication.*
• Repair your lungs by keeping them clear of mucus and waste.*
• Resist infection by killing foreign and invading viruses and bacteria.*

 

WHY DO I NEED RESISTANCE?

Resistance is a formula intended for the proactive care and support of your immune system. 

Among other vital pillars of health; such as proper diet, exercise, sleep, healthy relationships, etc.–this formula is intended to supercharge your natural immune functions. In turn, adding Resistance then provides the greatest protection and proactive regulation of a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

 

HOW DOES RESISTANCE SUPPORT MY IMMUNE SYSTEM?

A note from our founder:

“It’s important in a formula like this to understand our body‘s response to infectious agents entering the body. When we breathe through our mouth or nose and inhale a foreign body, or potentially harmful agent, our body traps it in mucus.

In a healthy and regularly functioning immune system, the helper cells in the mucus then signal to the immune system what the invading agent is and how to process it. In an overactive immune system, our body may be overwhelmed and overproduce mucus, causing inflammation.

Vital to this formula is ginger, thyme, and marshmallow–to address abnormal cases of excessive inflammation. These ingredients also help the body naturally clear the mucus from the lungs as an expectorant and demulcent.

Herbs [like garlic] in double blind placebo controlled studies reduced the risk of catching a cold or virus by 70%.

Herbs like elderberry show similar effects in double blind placebo controlled randomized trials. As a matter of fact the odds for improvement before the fifth day in the treated group were more than 20 times the odds in the control group.

Ultimately, the goal of resistance is to help the body naturally identify foreign contagions early, stop them from replicating, and expel them from the body.”

 

HOW MANY CAPSULES SHOULD I TAKE?

As a proactive measure, 2 to 4 capsules a day is recommended. If experiencing acute symptoms, (or feeling generally unwell) increase to 6 daily. 

 

SHOULD I TAKE THIS PRODUCT EVERY DAY?

Yes. For best results it’s suggested that Resistance be taken daily. In times of high stress, group exposure, or travel–it’s important that the ingredients are introduced and sustained at a consistent level. Irregular dosing may not yield intended results.

For those taking increased dosages, allow your body a week or two of recovery to return to homeostasis before taking Resistance again.  

 

SHOULD I TAKE RESISTANCE WITH OR WITHOUT FOOD?

Since the individual components of Anti-Inflammatory are whole ingredients and herbs, Resistance is classified as a food.

For this reason, these particular ingredients will not be affected by dosages taken with, or without food–and is left to the discretion of the individual for what suits them best.

 

IS IT POSSIBLE TO OVERDOSE WITH RESISTANCE?

Yes. Any ingredient used without moderation could yield adverse or unintended effects. Seek guidance on your personal health issues from a qualified practitioner if you have further questions or concerns about dosage and side effects.

The maximum suggested is within the range of 9 to 12 capsules daily when experiencing particularly or uncommonly severe seasonal infections or symptoms for a short period of time.
