ImmunoComplex
East and west has been brought together by this
complete formula by combining Astragalus from China and
medicinal mushrooms (AHCCÒ) from Japan with Echinacea from the
Native Americans, to create a complete Quality of Life Complex.
Polysaccharides, obtained by each botanical, along with the
antioxidant vitamin C create a complete immune support
supplement.
AHCC: AHCC is an extract obtained from a
hybridization of several species of medicinal mushrooms
including Shiitake, all organically cultivated in Japan. It is
derived from a highly specialized manufacturing process allowing
for optimal bioavailability as a result of its low molecular
weight of 5,000 Daltons. Clinical studies have shown AHCC to
increase immune response significantly, to activate macrophage
activity, NK and LAK cells, to increase production of cytokines
including TNF-a, IFN-g, IL-1, IL2, & IL-12. Studies show AHCC
increases Quality of Life Parameters for patients with immune
compromised conditions.
Astragalus: A traditional Chinese
medicinal herb, Astragalus has been used to support T-lymphocyte
function, macrophage phagocytic function, promotes antibody
formation, and potentates lymphokine-activated killer cell (LAK)
cell cytotoxicty activity.
Echinacea: The most researched a
published herb on the market today, Echinacea was traditionally
used by the Native Americans as an immunostimulant more than any
other medicinal plant. Echinacea supports the immune system by
way of phagocytosis and white blood cell activity including
NK-cell and interferon activity.
Vitamin C: The most commonly
used nutrient for immune support is vitamin C. Vitamin C, an
antioxidant, is essential to the human body for growth and
health. It is utilized in the body to help to produce
lymphocytes or white blood cells needed to fight infection,
promote phagocytosis which involves cells that will "eat"
bacteria, viruses and other harmful invaders, and is required by
the thymus gland, one of the major glands involved in immunity.
