Top 3 reasons you should use Revivo today:
Revivo is NOT like other immune system supplements. The ingredients in Revivo together have 3 main benefits rather than just one:
1. It strengthens and supports the immune system.
2. It reduces the side-effects of conventional drugs used in autoimmune weakness conditions.
3. It address many of the symptoms of immune weakness such as fatigue, diarrhea, poor sleep, rashes, night sweats,
thrush etc.
Strengthening and supporting the immune system:
The immune system is a complex collection of organs, cells and other structures in the body that together fight against infection and other foreign pathogens taking over the body. This is an ongoing battle whether a person is healthy or sick as we are always exposed to such pathogens and infections. For this to take place there are 2 main requirements, viz, there should be enough nutritional components to support the cells involved in fighting infection and there should be enough healthy cells to do the job. While most other immune supplements address the nutritional requirements of the immune system, they do not actually boost immune function or increase the amount of immune system cells in the body to help fight infection. Revivo however does both, it provides the nutritional support needed for healthy immune function and at the same time also has herbal ingredients that are known to increase the number of healthy immune cells in the body.
Reducing the side-effects of conventional therapies and drugs:
While many of the drugs used for people who are suffering from weakened immune function are essential, they also tend to have a lot of varying side effects ranging from minor skin problems to serious problems like lipodystrophy, low blood pressure, fatigue, weakness, diarrhea, muscle loss and wasting etc. We have added ingredients in Revivo that counter these effects and therefore eliminate the side effects associated with these drugs.
Addressing associated symptoms of immune weakness:
Because the human body is a complex and interrelated system, things do not happen in isolation. A weak immune system will have knock on effects on other areas of the body and in fact this can work both ways around. Sleep for example is an important part of immune function and not having enough sleep can make your immune system weak. At the same time a weak immune system can also result in you getting less sleep. This then turns into a vicious circle with immune function becoming weaker and weaker. It is similar with fatigue, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting etc. Revivo has ingredients to assist with these associated symptoms that even though you may think is not part of the immune problem you have, plays an important role in you returning to optimal health.

ASTRAGALUS ROOT
Used in traditional Chinese medicine to lower blood pressure, increase red and white blood cell count, cure appetite loss, strengthen the immune system, and replenish qi.
Astragalus root is used in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is used to speed healing and treat diabetes. In western herbal medicine, Astragalus is primarily considered a tonic for enhancing metabolism and digestion and is consumed as a tea or soup made from the (usually dried) roots of the plant, often in combination with other medicinal herbs. It is also traditionally used to strengthen the immune systemand in the healing of wounds and injuries. Astragalus has been asserted to be a tonic that can improve the functioning of the lungs, adrenal glands and the gastrointestinal tract, increase metabolism, sweating, promote healing and reduce fatigue. There is a report in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology that Astragalus membranaceus can show "immunomodulating and immunorestorative effects."
REISHI MUSHROOM
Reishi Mushroom possesses anti-tumor, immunomodulatory and immunotherapeutic activities.
It has also been found to inhibit platelet aggregation, and to regulate blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar. The specific effect of Reishi includes an increase in monocytes, macrophages and T-lymphocytes which means that it can increase CD count. No other herbal substance has shown such powerful immune boosting effects and in fact we feel that everyone should use this herb for this reason alone. Reishi has some protective effects against liver injury by viruses and other toxic agents, suggesting a potential benefit of this compound in the treatment of liver disease especially where people are using certain medication that can damage the liver, these include antiviral medication etc. Reishi is also reported to have anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities against many viruses including HSV1 and HSV2, the influenza viruses well as anti-microbial properties against the following organisms; Aspergillus niger, Bacillus cereus, Candida albicans, and Escherichia coli.
SELENIUM
Selenium is a trace element that is found in many foods and is essential for healthy immune function amongst other processes in the body.
The problem however is that the soil in most of the world is deficient of selenium and that means that less of it is found in our food supply. In fact people with low or weakened immune function including patients with HIV/AIDS have been found to be deficient in selenium. Selenium helps to regulate the thyroid and immune systems. Given the role selenium plays in the immune system, it is not surprising that it has been examined for potential benefits in fighting HIV/AIDS. Research studies have show that selenium may lower the viral load, reduce the likelihood of hospitalization, increase CD count and reduce frequency of secondary infections.
ZINC
Adequate zinc levels are essential for good immune function.
However, research has shown that as many as 50% of HIV-positive patients have deficient levels of zinc, and this has been associated with faster HIV disease progression and an increased risk of death. Zinc is a supplement that significantly reduces the risk of CD4 cell counts falling below the critical 200 cells/mm3 level, daily doses of zinc also reduced reported diarrhoea.
LOTUS SEED
Lotus seeds are valued for nutritional and healing properties in Chinese medicine.
All lotus seeds contain the anti-aging enzyme L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase, which is said to help repair damaged proteins, according to the Kushi Institute, a macrobiotic website. Because of this, many cosmetic companies are now finding ways to include the seeds in anti-aging blends. In accordance with Chinese medicine, the sweet and neutral taste of lotus seeds said to nourish the spleen and alleviate diarrhea. The lotus embryo, or heart of the lotus seed, benefits the heart because of its bitter and cooling properties. The bitter components are said to include the isoquinoline alkaloids, which have antispasmodic and calming effects, which can help dilate blood vessels, thus reducing blood pressure.
