Imuno-2865^® (500 ct)

Specifically, the ingredient blend of Imuno-2865^® provides:

• Beta-glucans, which support the immune system by promoting white blood cell activity.
• Arabinoxylan, which is a pre- and post-biotic supporting digestion.
• Arabinogalactan, which promotes a healthy immune system and provides pre- and post-biotic digestive support.

Imuno-2865^® contains a sourced mixture of hemi-cellulose and fatty acids that have been extracted from mushrooms and rice bran. These extracts provide beta-glucans support for a healthy immune system every day, but especially when the immune system is challenged.

Specifically, the ingredient blend of Imuno-2865^® provides:

• Beta-glucans, extracted from 3 species of mushroom (shiitake, maitake, and lingzhi), rice bran, and flowering plants (Dioscoreaceae, e.g. yams), support the immune system by priming white blood cells to be more effective during an immune response.¹ Additionally, yams provide antioxidant support to the liver, both on their own and by promoting production of the body’s own potent antioxidants, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, and digestive support by promoting healthy intestinal enzyme secretion.²
• Arabinoxylan, a type of hemicellulose found in the outer covering of rice (rice bran), is a major component of the dietary fiber in grains and acts as a pre- and post-biotic supporting digestion.
• Arabinogalactan, a polysaccharide sourced from bark of the Larch tree (Larix occidentalis), stimulates the immune system and provides pre- and post-biotic intestinal support by promoting short chain fatty acid production in the large intestine. It also concentrates in the liver, supporting normal liver function and health.³

Arabinoxylan and arabinogalactan contain sugars, galactose, arabinose, and xylose, that act as antioxidants to protect cells from damaging free radicals.
