- Activation of immune cells
- Enhanced communication between immune cells through cytokine promotion
- Promotion of the Complement system
- Enhances liver, colon and intestinal microflora health
- Inhibition of metastasis
BioGenesis is proud to present ImmuoGalactans, an Arabinogalactan (AG) product
with immune support properties. This fermentable fiber is derived from North
American Larch trees. Animal and human studies document its health promoting
properties. Specifically, AG has been shown to activate immune cells and enhance
cellular communication and signaling. Studies have shown it to have stronger
immune stimulating properties than Echinacea. AG has been shown to stimulate
immune function at a dose of 1.5 grams per day. Liver and colon health are enhanced
through AG’s ability to enhance the growth of beneficial bacteria and
inhibit the growth of bacterial pathogens such as Clostridium perfringens.
Arabinogalactans are naturally present in a variety of plants such as, Echinacea
purpurea and Baptisia tinctoria.
Serving size: 2.5 grams
