Powerful, safe nutrients for healthy immune function. Put the power of Super Immune Booster to work for you!*
Colostrum
First-milk bovine colostrum is in a class of nutrient known as a functional food. It contains an array of immune support nutrients to defend the newborn, whose immune system is not yet ready for active duty.* This is known as passive immunity, the transfer of immune support antibodies and cofactors from mother to offspring. Nutritional components in colostrum offer metabolic support to enable the newborn to meet the demands of rapid growth.*
Modern science is far from understanding the role of all that Mother Nature has packed into first-milk colostrum. We do know that first-milk bovine colostrum contains the following:
- Immunoglobulins (especially IGG antibodies),*
- Thymic peptides that support thymus gland function (a key immune gland),*
- Insulin-like growth factor that supports tissue repair and glucose metabolism,*
- Trace amounts of T3 (active thyroid hormone) and leptin,*
- Cytokines that signal immune activation,* and
- Lactoferrin and various enzymes that support digestive immune function.*
Bovine lactoferrin, one of the components is bovine colostrum, is the subject of considerable scientific study (including human studies) regarding natural immune support and immune system regulation.* A variety of human testing has been done with bovine colostrum, including studies that show it enhances performance and immune parameters in trained athletes.* It is clear that bovine colostrum is biologically active in humans and is an excellent anti wear and tear immune support nutrient.*
Arabinogalactan
Arabinogalactan supports the production of the special forces of the immune system such as NK Killer Cells, the elite troops you count on when needed.* This nutrient also supports the function of other important immune cells, such as T Cells and macrophages.* Also see Immune Plus™ for more on this nutrient.
Olive Leaf Extract
Our concentrated olive leaf extract is standardized for 20% oleuropein, a potent polyphenol antioxidant and immune support compound. Cell studies show oleuropein to provide a broad range of immune support benefits.*
Cell studies also show that oleuropein modulates endothelial adhesion molecule expression, acting as a cardiovascular support nutrient. Through its activation of the antioxidant enzyme MnSOD, it was found to help stabilize improper nitric oxide production. An animal study showed that olive leaf extract supports healthy blood pressure function.*
Beta Glucan from Maitake Mushroom
Beta glucan is a unique polysaccharide from a mushroom called maitake. It has been demonstrated to support macrophage, NK killer cell, and T cell activity.*
Immune Support for Your Family
Super Immune Booster™ is the first product of its type to combine four "body friendly" immune support nutrients in a single product. A key feature of these nutrients is their gentle, yet effective nature of operation.* Aribinogalactan and Beta Glucan are carbohydrate structures, olive leaf contains a polyphenol antioxidant, and colostrum is a well-researched functional food.*
Some people take 2 per day for general support. Because of the "body friendly" nature of the ingredients in Super Immune Booster, larger amounts may be taken as needed. Two to five capsules taken before bed may be quite helpful. Up to 12 capsules per day may be used, as needed – typically split between three or four servings. Super Immune Booster™ may be taken with or without food.*
