Natural Defense and Mucosal Support:
The PureResponse™ formula Innate Immune Support is designed to promote cell-mediated immune response, including NK cell and macrophage activity. Astragalus contains a variety of active constituents, including saponins and flavonoids, that contribute to its long tradition of immune and cytokine balance support. In vitro and animal studies suggest that astragalus supports NK cell activity, as well as IgA and IgG levels in serum, key antibodies that play a critical role in mucosal immune defense. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, supplementation with 200 mg of AP-Bio® Andrographis for five days promoted immune function and supported respiratory comfort. In vitro assays suggest it helps modulate IL-1, IL-6 and MCP-1 to support macrophage function. Reishi mushroom and reishi beta 1,3/1,6-D glucan extracts offers a rich source of polysaccharides to promote cell-mediated immunity.
What is the Source?
AP-Bio™ andrographis extract is derived from Andrographis paniculata leaf. Reishi mushroom beta glucan extract is derived from Ganoderma lucidum mycelia. Reishi extract is derived from Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body. Astragalus extract is derived from Astragalus membranaceus root.
