Immune-Assist Daily Formula™ (60 caps)

Description

IMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula includes a combination of more than 200 different polysaccharides, derived from the enzymatic breakdown of complex organic plant material from six different species of organically grown medicinal mushrooms.These include Agaricus blazei, Cordyceps sinensis and Cordyceps militaris, Lentinula edodes (shiitake), Grifola frondosa (maitake), Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), and Coriolus versicolor. IMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula contains 500 mg per vegetarian capsule and is made in USA using only USDA-certified organic materials.

IMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula contains simple polysaccharides similar to many other products on the market, but it also contains much more complex polysaccharides like the cross-linked beta-mannans and beta-glucans, as well as which combine both alpha- and beta-bound monosaccharides into the same molecule. This is a major reason that Immune-Assist shows such a greater range of immuno-modulation bioactivity than other bran-based supplements. Included among the important substances in IMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula are Arabinoxylane, Lentinan, Grifolan (Dr. Nanba’s original Maitake D-Fraction), PSK and PSP, and Active Hemicellulose Correlated Compound (AHCC).

The full spectrum mycoproducts contained in IMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula are the complete fungal material consisting of all the biologically active components, including the mycelium, primordia, fruitbodies, and most importantly, the extracellular compounds produced throughout the entire life cycle of the organism. It is these extracellular compounds (compounds that are excreted outside of the cell and into the surrounding environment) that are responsible for the main medicinal properties known from the fungal kingdom. This includes all the antibiotic properties, antiviral properties, antifungal properties and all the other ‘survival’ compounds that fungi produce to gain advantage over competing bacteria and microbes in the highly competitive environment in which they live. These secondary metabolites have opened up the frontiers of medicine with such breakthroughs as antibiotics and cholesterol lowering drugs.

Many mushroom-derived polysaccharides appear to fit the accepted criteria for immunomodulators or biological response modifiers (BRM) compounds. They cause no harm and place no additional stress on the body, they assist the body to adapt to the various environmental and psychological stresses, and they have a non-specific action on the body, supporting all the major systems, including nervous, hormonal, and immune systems, as well as regulatory functions.

BENEFITS OF IMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula

Human, animal, and in vitro studies confirm that the ingredients in IMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula consistently supports the body and effectively boosts immune system function in the following ways:

1. Stimulates cytokine (IL-2, IL-12, TNF, and Interferon) production, which stimulates immune function
2. Increases Natural Killer (NK) cell activity
3. Increases the formation of explosive granules within NK cells
4. Increases the number and the activity of lymphocytes, specifically increasing T Cells
5. Increases Interferon levels and stimulates NK Cell activity
6. Increases the formation of TNF, a group of proteins that help destroy out-of-balance cells
7. It is rich in adenosine and amino acids necessary for the production of ATP

APPLICATIONS: IMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula may be useful for include: 1) recurrent infections, such as colds, flu, and parasites, 2) peptic ulcer, 3) slow healing wounds, 4) digestive problems, 5) hepatitis, 6) multiple sclerosis, 7) abnormal growths, and 8) autoimmune conditions. People with compromised immune function and those living in immune “hot spots” choose IIMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula. It offers support by optimizing your immune system supporting its efforts to locate, target, and destroy invading organisms associated with sub-optimal health and aging.

DIRECTIONS: As a dietary supplement take two (2) capsules per day in divided doses, or as recommended by a health care professional. In severe conditions, we suggest up to six capsules per day for two weeks or more in order to build immune activity, then maintain a dosage of two capsules per day. Alternatively, IMMUNE-ASSIST™ Daily Formula can be taken at the time of exposure or first signs of illness, in which case we recommend taking two caps three times per day.
