Source Naturals® Arms Immune Defenses
Four New Products Combat Health Stress and Immune Unrest
Scotts Valley, California - April 9, 2003 - Source Naturals®, creators of the
highly-acclaimed line of health and nutrition supplements, added several potent
products to their arsenal of immune preparedness products in response to a sense
of urgency consumers are expressing to have healthier lives.
“With threats of bioterrorism, and now SARS, people are very concerned,”
said Jeff Lipsius, Vice President of Threshold Enterprises, Ltd. “They feel
helpless, and are looking for a true sense of security as far as their health
is concerned. The public needs to know that there are scientifically-proven
steps they can take to strengthen their own ability to resist health threats
in the post-antibiotic era.”
Source Naturals responded to these needs, adding Beta Glucan (Purified
Beta 1,3/1,6-Glucan), Mushroom Immune Defense™ and AHCC® to their strong line
of immune-boosting products, giving consumers even more control of their health.
They have also introduced a Potassium Iodide product for additional peace of mind.
Beta Glucan is a unique polysaccharide derived from baker's yeast. Studies
have shown that Beta Glucan can stimulate phagocytosis and interleukin production.
Phagocytosis is the process of a white blood cell engulfing and destroying a
foreign substance. Interleukin is a chemical mediator that triggers white blood
cell production and activity.
Mushroom Immune Defense contains mycelia biomass from 16 health-supportive
varieties of mushrooms, plus highly potent myco-extracts for additional immune
efficacy. The product contains beta-glucans, glycoproteins and polysaccharides,
which support a wide range of immune defenses, including natural killer cell,
cytokine production, T-cell and macrophage activity.
AHCC, or Active Hexose Correlated Compound, is a proprietary substance
obtained through the enzymatic modification of several species of mushroom
mycelia. The low molecular weight of AHCC makes it easier to absorb, allowing
rapid enhancement of white blood cell production and activity, and increased
natural killer (NK) cells. Hundreds of Japanese hospitals and clinics recommend
AHCC as part of an immune maintenance regimen, and its potent effects are so
regarded that sales exceed $200 million dollars per year.
Potassium Iodide maintains high levels of beneficial iodides in the
thyroid gland – especially important after exposure to high levels of radiation.
The federal government is distributing potassium iodide around nuclear power
generation facilities. Source Naturals recommends keeping several bottles in
your own preparedness kit.
Source Naturals launched the industry’s first immune system modulator –
Wellness Formula® – and continues as a leader in the market with their full
line of immune products. All of these products are founded on years of solid
research in immune system enhancement. Through their use, consumers can deeply
improve their health, and gain a greater sense of health security.
