Enhance (Quan Yin) Herbal Supplement
Health Concerns
Enhance is a traditional Chinese herbal formula to boost immunity, especially immunity of the exterior of the body. It is a formula we love because it doesn’t simply boost the immune system as much as it balances the immune system to its functions more normally.
This formula is a complex Chinese herbal remedy designed for immune enhancement and immune modulation or balancing. It not only boosts the immune system, but it is also reasonably anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. It can be used for a very long time if needed (months to even years).
Although it can be used to boost the immune system throughout the body, certain areas of the body are helped more than others. The immune components that protect the skin, for example, are more powerfully improved. Thus, we use this formula in dogs with Demodex mite infections.
Enhance can be used for the immune system even in the face of immune-suppressing drug therapy, including corticosteroids (eg. prednisone), antibiotics, and chemotherapy agents.
