Helps support a healthy immune system

Dietary Supplement

Staying healthy has never been easier than with Immune System. It contains high potencies of Astragalus, Ligustrum and European Standardized Echinacea Extracts. The formula also includes a full spectrum of mushroom ingredients and other immune supporting nutrients.

  • Echinacea has been shown to stimulate T-cell and macrophage activity. It strongly enhances the ability of these cells to destroy an invading microbe, a process known as phagocytosis. Echinacea is recommended for short-term acute infections.
  • Maitake D-Fraction extract is classified as a cancer fighting and immuno-stimulating drug in Japan. Maitake, shiitake and reishi mushrooms have well documented activity for stimulating natural killer cells, macrophages and certain T-cells. The TD Fraction of maitake is a dry form of the D-Fraction imported from Japan that can be used for encapsulation.
  • Astragalus and ligustrum contain compounds that stimulate the B-cell branch of the immune system. This branch maintains a vigorous defense during long-term chronic illness.
  • Antioxidants such as Vitamin C, beta carotene and zinc help recovery from acute infections by detoxifying harmful compounds generated by our immune response and microbes.
