Characteristics :

Esberitox ® mono tablets contain active substances from the purple coneflower. These activate the body-own defense system (immune system) in humans and increase the resilience of the entire organism. Esberitox ® mono tablets can support overcoming infections of viral or bacterial origin. In case of viral respiratory tract infections the stabilization of the immune system with Esberitox ® mono tablets is particularly important, because duration and severity as well as the frequency of viral respiratory infections are influenced to a great extent by the capacity of the body-own defense system.

If the immune system has been weakened by chronic illnesses, stress, preceding infections or surgery or certain medications, a stabilization of the immune system is sensible. Esberitox ® mono tablets frequently clearly reduce the frequency of infections due to a temporarily (transitory) weakened immune system.
