Common Uses: |
Source Naturals Mushroom Immune Defense™ is a blend of mushroom mycelia
and extracts from 16 of the most well-studied species of health-supportive
mushrooms. Although the exact mechanisms of action in the body are not yet fully
understood, researchers propose that constituents of these mushrooms may support
natural killer (NK) cell, T-cell, and macrophage activity, and cytokine
production. By carefully combining these mushrooms and fortifying them with
extracts |

The immune system is a fascinating and complex group of cells and
biochemical processes. Its many components work to protect you from environmental
threats—but your immune system
requires nutritional support to function optimally. Scientific research is proving that
some of the most powerful immune-supportive nutrients are found in mushrooms.
People who realize the critical importance of optimizing immune function should seriously
consider adding an advanced mushroom complex to their daily regimen.
No other mushroom formula offers the high-potency, broad-spectrum benefits
of Source Naturals MUSHROOM IMMUNE DEFENSE. MUSHROOM IMMUNE DEFENSE features 16 of the best-studied species of
health-supportive mushrooms, including shiitake, reishi, and maitake. These mushrooms contain compounds,
including beta-glucans, glycoproteins and polysaccharides, that support a wide range of
immune defenses: natural killer cell, T-cell and macrophage activity, and cytokine production. By
combining a wide variety of mushrooms and fortifying them with extracts to ensure high potency,
MUSHROOM IMMUNE DEFENSE offers a biochemically diverse formula that provides
optimum immune assistance. Mushroom Immune Defense™ Scientific Immunity Formula
How Do Mushrooms Work?
Mushrooms are a treasure trove of bioactive compounds, but most of their immunomodulating
activities have been attributed to polysaccharides (long-chain, simple sugars)
and glycoproteins (polysaccharides naturally associated with proteins). These compounds
activate a variety of immune responses. Broad-Range Protection
MUSHROOM IMMUNE DEFENSE contains mycelia (networks of fibrous filaments) and
extracts from the widest variety of mushroom species available.
Included are the following mushrooms, which have demonstrated the most
evidence for immune defense. Shiitake (Lentinula edodes):
Lentinan, the beta glucan from shiitake, has been studied more extensively than similar substances and
may be one of the most effective immunomodulators. Numerous studies have
shown its ability to stimulate natural killer cell, T-cell, and macrophage-dependent
responses. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum): Reishi’s polysaccharides
may stimulate macrophages and enhance T-cell proliferation, according to in
vitro studies. Maitake (Grifola frondosa): Maitake enhances the activities of natural killer cells,
T-cells and macrophages, according to animal studies. MUSHROOM IMMUNE
DEFENSE contains MaitakeGold 404™, a highly specialized maitake product, rich in
beta-glucans, which is the only maitake betaglucan fraction endorsed by the world’s premier
maitake researcher, Dr. Hiroaki Nanba, Ph.D. Turkey Tails (Trametes
versicolor): These mushrooms have a long history of traditional use in Asia. One in vitro study suggests
that its polysaccharides stimulate macrophages. Almond portabella (Agaricus blazei): This
mushroom may stimulate the immune system by increasing T-cell activity, according to
animal studies. Cordyceps (Cordyceps sinensis): Cordyceps came to international attention during
National Games in China when, in one week, three women’s track and field world
records were broken. The coach partially credited a cordyceps elixir. Cordyceps was
found to augment antibody and other immune responses in one animal study, and
a cordyceps polysaccharide was found to elevate cytokines in vitro. MUSHROOM IMMUNE DEFENSE contains 10
additional mushrooms, including enoke, oyster, Polyporus umbellatus, and Poria
cocos. Vitamin C is added to enhance absorption and activity. Unparalleled Immune Support
