IMMUNITY - JUNE 14

A Cutting-Edge, Clinically Researched Postbiotic For Immune Support

A strong immune system is critical for good health. When it is operating efficiently, immune cells use innate and adaptive functions to react to invaders of the body. If our immune system has become weak, we are vulnerable to various illnesses.

Enter the plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC), a unique type of immune cell that acts as the commander of the immune system. Once activated, pDCs recruit and stimulate nearly all other immune cells, orchestrating a comprehensive immune response.

While most immune cells are either part of the innate or adaptive immune response, pDCs play a vital role in bridging the body’s first-line defenses and long-range immunity — communicating and organizing activity across both branches of the immune system.  

Backed by 29 published studies, including 14 human trials consisting of 12 efficacy studies and 2 safety studies, IMMUSE™ LC-Plasma is one of the most comprehensively studied postbiotics for immune support — meeting growing consumer demands for evidence-based immune health products.

We will answer these key questions:

  • Are the postbiotic strains used in Immuse considered to be "probiotic" when they are not heat-killed?
  • What is the time to onset of the expected effects? (in other words, how long does it take from when somebody takes a postbiotic until they begin to experience effects?
  • Is IMMUSE more effective at delivering immune health benefits vs. probiotics?
  • Can IMMUSE work synergistically with other immune health ingredients?
  • Are there natural foods/diets and/or activities that activate pDC cells?
