Low relevanceImmune system activating formula composed of selected long chain polysaccharides from natural sources
Grifola frondosa
Key points
- A combination of two, specialized, high molecular weight-long chain fractions isolated from Aloe Vera and Maitake TD to stimulate immune system activity comprise long chain-high molecular weight polysaccharides which activate the body's natural immune response, triggering an increase in the production of macrophages, T-cells, B-cells, natural killer cells, cytokines and antibodies
- Long chain polysaccharides acquired from different source materials (Aloe Vera, Maitake) generate different expressions of cytokines in turn effecting the production of a larger variety of antibodies against specific and non-specific antigens
- These long chain polysaccharides together with other active ingredients may provide proper immune system support thereby preventing debilitating diseases such as cancer, heart disease and aging

Abstract
A combination of two, specialized, high molecular weight-long chain fractions isolated from Aloe Vera and Maitake TD to stimulate immune system activity comprise long chain-high molecular weight polysaccharides which activate the body's natural immune response, triggering an increase in the production of macrophages, T-cells, B-cells, natural killer cells, cytokines and antibodies. Long chain polysaccharides acquired from different source materials (Aloe Vera, Maitake) generate different expressions of cytokines in turn effecting the production of a larger variety of antibodies against specific and non-specific antigens. These long chain polysaccharides together with other active ingredients may provide proper immune system support thereby preventing debilitating diseases such as cancer, heart disease and aging.
