Product Details
MMUNOGEN (Dried Yeast Fermentate) is a unique and novel dietary supplement used for support of immune health, with a fascinating history of discovery. In 1943, a company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa called Diamond V Mills, Inc. began manufacturing and selling a fermentation product from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the same yeast used in bread and beer making. The product was and still is used as an additive for animal feed to help improve digestion as well as overall health in animals. It has been on the market for over 60 years. Interestingly, when the company became self-insured, they became aware of unusually low rates of illness in employees that worked in the manufacturing plant for this animal product. This led to very low increases in their insurance premiums over the years compared to other companies, saving them quite a lot of money. Hence they began to investigate what might be the cause of the “healthfulness” of the employees at the fermentation plant. This investigation and subsequent research studies led to the formation of a supplement for humans to support immune system health. Unlike many other immune health ingredients, Immunogen does not stimulate or "boost" the body's immune system. It works in a unique way to balance and "educate" the immune system so that it works efficiently to provide the proper immune response. Supporting the body at the first level of immune defense, the innate immune system or mucosal barrier, Immunogen activates Natural Killer (NK) cells to help ward off foreign invaders. For invaders that work their way past this first line of defense, research shows that Immunogen also works further down the line when the adaptive immune system kicks in by activating B cells, which support antibody production specific to the invading pathogen. Immunogen is also a powerful antioxidant that further supports a healthy body by scavenging dangerous free radicals. Additionally, Immunogen possesses significant anti-inflammatory activity.
