Source Naturals Mushroom Immune Defense combines the healthiest mushroom to support the body’s defences against harmful invaders. Studies show that components of these mushrooms act on the natural killer (NK) cells, T-cells, cytokine production, and macrophage activity which are very crucial to the defensive mechanisms of the body. The beta-glucan in shiitake mushroom is a form of sugar that works by binding itself on macrophages and neutrophils, these cells are the first line of defence of the immune system. Vitro studies suggest that Reishi’s high polysaccharide content stimulates the white blood cells and enhance proliferation of T-cells. Maitake’s contribution is its support of the activities of the NK cells. Maitake mushrrom also contains high amounts of beta-glucans. Another mushroom, the turkey tails also has positive effects on the macrophages for a more solid immune defence. The additional Vitamin C constituent of Mushroom Immune Defense enhances its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. It is also fortified with different extracts to make it a broad-spectrum and potent mushroom derived health supplement.
