Immune™ Maximum Defense Formula
Single Bottle (30 Servings)
During times of seasonal stress, the body’s immune system may not function at peak performance. The immune system is an active component of the body, working constantly to protect the body from environmental factors and germs to maintain optimal health and general well-being. Normally, its actions go largely unnoticed until it fails the body in some way. When a germ enters the body and reproduces, it immediately begins to cause problems. The immune system works in three main mechanisms. First, the immune system creates a barrier to prevent germs from entering the body. Next, if a germ does enter the body, the immune system responds by detecting and eliminating them before they have time to inhabit the body and reproduce. Finally, if a germ does inhabit the body and begins to reproduce, the immune system responds by eliminate them. Because the immune system is constantly working hard to protect the body from germs, it is important to keep it healthy.
The immune system is composed of the thymus, the spleen, the lymph system, bone marrow, white blood cells, antibodies, hormones and the complement system (antibody-helping proteins found freely in the blood), all working to keep the body healthy. However, the body is exposed to thousands of germs floating in the air, unclean hands or improper food handling everyday. For the most part, the immune system responds to these germs immediately; but occasionally, these germs can slip past the immune system, weakening the body’s defenses. Antioxidants like elderberry, andrographis and potent mushroom compounds like Maitake Gold 404® and MycoFusions™ have been shown to help support normal cellular defenses and promote a healthy immune function.
Immune™ Maximum Defense Formula is a patented beta glucan supplement combining Maitake Gold 404®, MycoFusions™, elderberry and andrographis to enhance immune function. Certain types of mushrooms contain numerous compounds that have been studied extensively for their ability to promote a healthy immune system. Beta-glucans 1-3, beta glucans 1-6, arabinogalactins, and arabinoxylans are compounds that work hand-in-hand with certain cells of the immune system. Arabinogalactins and arabinoxylans are powerful polysaccharides that support the immune system. These compounds promote healthy activity of interleukins, interferons, and necrosis factor, all key components in a healthy immune system. Maitake Gold 404®, a highly studied extract of the maitake mushroom, is shown to be effective in supporting the body’s immune cells, including natural killer cells, macrophages, T cells and B cells. MycoFusions™ is a concentrated complex of maitake, shiitake, cordyceps, Reishi, oyster, and coriolus, which provide powerful polysaccharides and beta glucans, shown to promote healthy immune functions. The potent antioxidant properties of elderberry and andrographis promote a healthy immune response. Immune™ works to help maintain general health during seasonal stress, helps support normal cellular defenses, provides a strong antioxidant defense, and promotes beneficial activity of macrophages, T cells, white blood cells and natural killer cells, which engulf and destroy pathogens and foreign matter.*
