Product Details
Supporting a balanced immune system is vital for your ongoing health. A healthy immune system is the best defense against antigens. Antigens are toxins or other unwanted foreign invaders which induce an immune response in the body. There are many components of the human immune system. The major constituents include the skin, mucous membranes, bone marrow, lymphatic system and thymus. These organs form a network of defenses that work to protect the body from foreign invaders. A number of mushroom species are known to help support the functions of the immune system by offering a complex matrix of polysaccharides, dietary fiber, and fungal enzymes to help support normal immune responses. In our daily diets, we typically lack the essential variety of phytochemicals and polysaccharides found in wholesome foods necessary to optimize our immune system functions. This synergistic Immune Response Blend of precious and rare mushrooms, includes reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) mushroom, maitake (Grifola frondosa) mushroom, Agaricus blazei mushroom, shiitake (Lentinus edodes) mushroom, and Coriolus versicolor mushroom. Poly5 is formulated to assist in immune system balance and vitality.*
