vessels or capillaries throughout the circulatory system that
leads to the onset of various degenerative or debilitative
conditions associated with any blood disorders or blood

the various cells and tissue-systems within the arteries, blood
vessels or capillaries; exhibits immuno-potentiating and
immuno-stimulatory effects in order to enhance greater long-term
immune potential and overall non-specific systemic immunity (or
immune cell activity) and increased immune response (by
