Conga-Immune™ by Doctor’s Research, Inc.: Natural Support for Your Immune System
Keeping your immune system strong is one of the best things you can do for your health. Doctor’s Research, Inc. created Conga-Immune™, a 100% food-based supplement designed to give your body the natural nutrients it needs. Unlike synthetic vitamins, Conga-Immune™ uses real whole-food ingredients that your body can absorb and use easily.
Let’s explore the key ingredients in Conga-Immune™ and see how they help keep you healthy. We’ll also take a closer look at Echinacea, a well-known immune booster, and discuss when it works best.
Key Ingredients in Conga-Immune™ by Doctor’s Research, Inc.
1. Bovine Bone Marrow and Thymus – Building Immune Strength
Your thymus gland helps make T-cells, which fight off germs and keep you from getting sick. Doctor’s Research, Inc. includes bovine thymus and bone marrow in Conga-Immune™ to provide the nutrients your immune system needs to stay strong.
📚 Research: Studies show that thymic extracts may help boost the immune system, especially in people who get sick often. (Abu-Alya & Alharbi, 2021)
2. Echinacea: When Should You Take It?
Echinacea is a popular immune-boosting herb, but when you take it can make a difference. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and modern science have different views on how it works best.
TCM: Best for Early-Stage Illness
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, echinacea is best taken at the first sign of illness. It is believed to help strengthen Wei Qi (your body’s natural defense). However, TCM warns that taking echinacea too late in an illness may make symptoms last longer. (Zhou et al., 2019)
Modern Science: Different Findings
Studies on echinacea have found mixed results:
- It may reduce how often you get sick if taken regularly. (Jawad et al., 2012)
- A 2014 study found that echinacea can shorten colds, but only slightly. (Karsch-Völk et al., 2014)
- Unlike TCM teachings, some research shows echinacea may still help in later stages of illness. (Turner et al., 2005)
So, What Should You Do?
There is no single answer for everyone. Doctor’s Research, Inc. believes in personalized health choices, and we teach in Nature’s Medicine: Food as Medicine that you should listen to your body and find what works best for you.
3. Acerola Cherry – A Natural Source of Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful immune booster, and Doctor’s Research, Inc. uses acerola cherry in Conga-Immune™ because it provides a natural, easy-to-absorb form of this essential vitamin.
📚 Research: Vitamin C helps the body fight infections, heal wounds, and absorb iron. (Carr & Maggini, 2017)
4. Shiitake Mushrooms – Supporting Gut Health and Immunity
A healthy gut is important for a strong immune system. Doctor’s Research, Inc. includes shiitake mushrooms in Conga-Immune™ because they contain beta-glucans, which help balance gut bacteria and support immune function.
📚 Research: Beta-glucans may help the body fight infections and keep the gut healthy. (Chang et al., 2022)
