Parashield Plus is a set of eight Coral Club products used together as a 60-day program. It is the extended version of the 30-day Parashield set, adding Coral Black Walnut, Assimilator and Pau D'Arco with Selenium.
Coral Club describes the program as supporting healthy digestion, healthy intestinal microflora and the immune system.*
A note on parasites
Coral Club markets the Parashield programs in connection with intestinal parasites. A parasitic infection is a medical condition: it needs a diagnosis, usually a stool test, and prescription treatment chosen by a doctor. Dietary supplements are not intended for that purpose, and this page makes no such claim. Anyone who suspects parasites — for example after travel, or with persistent digestive symptoms or weight loss — should see a doctor.
The eight products
- ParaFight — 12 plant extracts per 2 capsules, led by 300 mg black walnut leaf, with clove, gentian, chamomile, long pepper, yarrow, althaea, garlic, mint, thyme, sage and oregano. Coral Club states it supports healthy digestion.*
- Coral Black Walnut — black walnut leaf extract with oregano leaf extract.
- Coral Burdock Root — burdock root powder and extract, rich in inulin fiber.
- Assimilator — eight digestive enzymes with vitamins A and D3.
- Pau D'Arco with Selenium — 500 mg pau d'arco bark powder, 60 mg vitamin C and 30 mcg selenium per capsule.
- MSM — 750 mg methylsulfonylmethane, 50 mg vitamin C and 50 mcg biotin per capsule.
- Super-Flora — Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus acidophilus with inulin.
- Coral-Mine — coral minerals for drinking water; 356 mg calcium and 15 mg magnesium per sachet.
The Parashield Plus card does not state how many capsules or sachets of each product the set contains. The daily schedule is on the instructions inside the package.
Before starting
Coral Club recommends that anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, with a pre-existing medical condition, or with food allergies or intolerances consult a healthcare practitioner first. Several ingredients also interact with medicines or allergies:
- Blood thinners: pau d'arco, garlic and the sage extract in ParaFight — listed as Salvia miltiorrhiza, known as danshen — may add to the effect of warfarin and similar medicines.
- Daisy family: ParaFight contains chamomile and yarrow; people allergic to ragweed may react.
- Fruit enzymes: Assimilator contains papain and bromelain from papaya and pineapple.
- Probiotics: anyone with a severely weakened immune system should consult a physician before taking live bacteria.
- Pregnancy: pau d'arco is traditionally avoided in pregnancy.
Storage
Shelf life is 2 years from the date of production. Store in a dry place below 77°F (25°C), away from light and out of reach of children. Coral Club states the set does not contain soy.
