The COLD-FX®† Difference

The immune system is our internal defense mechanism. Stress, fatigue, travel and a poor diet can weaken this system. Taking COLD-FX daily offers added protection to ensure a healthy immune system.* It can also be taken over a three day period to boost the immune system when feeling vulnerable to the challenges of our environment.* 

The Discovery

In 1992, Dr. Jacqueline J. Shan assembled a team of 25 international scientists from the University of Alberta whose vision was the discovery and development of natural health products for health maintenance. This team of experts primarily focused on ways to apply the rigor and standardization of Western science to natural therapies of the East.

In doing so, they developed an internationally recognized technology called Chemical and Biological FingerPrinting. This patented and proprietary process was used to screen thousands of natural candidates with potential immune boosting effects and discovered that particular components (polysaccharides) of North American ginseng produced the strongest effect. We now know this discovery as COLD-FX, a ChemBioPrint® product.

ChemBioPrint - A Mark of Quality

Chemical and Biological FingerPrinting was developed to discover and standardize natural health products for health maintenance. It is a patented and proprietary technology that:

  1. Identifies the active components in a natural source;
  2. Fingerprints the active components for chemical composition and biological activity;
  3. Provides a standardized, quality manufacturing process

With the ability to confirm the consistency of each product batch, consumers can be confident that all ChemBioPrint products including COLD-FX are safe, effective, and standardized.

The Evidence

Evidence Supporting the Products Safety and Efficacy
Years of innovative research and clinical trials, including randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials, have shown that the active ingredient of COLD-FX:
  • Enhances the body’s first line of defense: the Natural Killer (NK) and Macrophage immune cells*
  • Enhances production of cytokines which are critical to activate the body’s second line of defense, the T-lymphocytes*
  • Is safe and well-tolerated
