It comes around every year. The weather starts to turn, the sun starts to hide, and people huddle together, spreading bugs through homes, schools and offices. Everyone knows that it is important to wash your hands, keep your saliva to yourself and other useful precautions, but ultimately it is the immune system that is the real defense against immune challenges. If operating efficiently the killer T cells and B cells will attack entering immune challenges and clear them before they are allowed to spread. But it is not always easy to keep the immune system operating at optimal levels.
Often during the winter months in particular the body will get ‘run down’. This state of weakened immune capacity allows normal immune challenges that wouldn’t stand a chance against your defenses to take hold. This triggers the body to enter all out warfare mode, often resulting in elevating temperature, mucus production, and a host of other annoying and often debilitating symptoms. All of this could be prevented however, if the immune system was strong enough to meet the immune challenge before it was allowed to take root.
The usual way that people try to help the immune system is through the ingestion of antioxidants. Antioxidants eliminate free radicals which are believed to be stressors on the immune system. This is a very helpful process and many of the Onnit™ formulas include powerful antioxidants such as Green Tea Extract, Bacopa, AC-11®, Pterostilbene, Alpha Lipoic Acid etc. But ShroomTech™ Immune takes a different and more direct approach. Containing the revolutionary Immune Assist™ medicinal mushroom compound, which is comprised of over 200 highly purified, immunologically active, bio-available hetero-polysaccharides and beta glucan compounds, ShroomTech™ Immune influences the immune system directly. According to scientific research, “Mushroom polysaccharides are known to stimulate natural killer cells, T-cells, B-cells, and macrophage- dependent immune system responses.” [Source]
By stimulating the killer T and B cells directly you dramatically increase the efficiency and frequency of your body’s ability to meet immune challenges. Zinc and Selenium are also immune assisting minerals, and add another layer to the combination of highly efficacious mushrooms. So while nothing can guarantee you perfect health, ShroomTech™ Immune may stack the odds dramatically in your favor.
