Life Extension Immune Senescence Formula Standardized Cistanche Reishi PU-ERH Tea, 60 Vegetarian Tablets

Our best-in-class immune system support formula goes way beyond vitamin C with standardized cistanche, reishi mushroom and pu-erh tea extracts to support immune cell health, response and ratio._Non-GMO Vegetarian_What Is Immune Senescence Protection?_Think of your immune cells as bouncers at a night club. They control who gets in, who gets kicked out and who can’t enter ever again. But over time, our immune system begins to decline, a process called immune senescence. This makes it harder for immune cells to do their job. So we developed an innovative formula to help combat immune senescence._Immune Senescence Protection Formula™ Know your immune cells The three ingredients in this formula focus on encouraging the healthy function of three types of immune cells: naïve T cells, memory T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Naïve T cells attack new invaders. Memory T cells attack previously known invaders. And NK cells function as your body’s first responders. Cistanche, reishi mushroom and pu-erh tea extracts support them in different ways._Know your immune cells The three ingredients in this formula focus on encouraging the healthy function of three types of immune cells: naïve T cells, memory T cells and natural killer (NK) cells.

Cistanche, reishi mushroom and pu-erh tea extracts support them in different ways._This formula focuses on supporting three types of immune cells: naïve T cells, memory T cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Naïve T cells attack new invaders.1 Memory T cells attack previously-known invaders.2 And NK cells function as your body’s first responders.3 More When a naïve T cell encounters a new threat, it remembers it, becoming a memory T cell. This means we naturally develop a surplus of memory T cells over time.4 So to maintain a healthy immune system, we need to support a youthful ratio of naïve to memory T cells, promote healthy naïve T cell production and encourage NK cell activity. Cistanche rejuvenates the immune system The cistanche plant contains a compound called echinacoside. It stimulates naïve T cell development, which in turn supports a healthy ratio of naïve-to-memory T cells.5,6 Cistanche also increases NK cell activity. In pre-clinical research, cistanche supported a 15% life span increase for NK cells.5 In a 12-week clinical study, standardized cistanche produced an 11.7% increase in NK cell activity and a 20.2% improvement in the ratio of CD4 to CD8 cells, an indicator of youthful, healthy immune response. 7 Reishi mushroom inhibits immune senescence Pre-clinical research indicates that reishi mushrooms may help inhibit the factors of immune senescence and promote longevity.8,9 This species is packed with polysaccharides, triterpenes and other compounds that boost the function of hematopoietic stem cells, T cells and immune factors that serve as your body’s defense, thus inhibiting immune senescence. 8,10 Pu-erh tea extract supports immune balance Pu-erh tea is made from the same plant as black and green tea. But this kind of tea is a little different: it’s rich in polyphenols and other bioactive molecules that support immune health. In a pre-clinical study, pu-erh extract produced a 7% increase in NK cells and a 10% increase in naïve T cells. In the same study, pu-erh tea extract promoted healthy bone marrow function, which helps rebuild peripheral immune cell components.11 Less_Serving Size 2 vegetarian tablets Servings Per Container 30 Amount Per Serving Calcium (as calcium carbonate) 175 mg Reishi mushroom extract (fruit body) [std. to 13.5% polysaccharides, 6% triterpenes] 980 mg Pu-erh tea extract (leaf) [providing polyphenols, theabrownin] 650 mg Cistanche tubulosa extract (stem and leaf) [std. to 22% echinacosides] 210 mg Shell-broken reishi mushroom (spore) 150 mg Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, starch, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, aqueous film coating (hypromellose, glycerin, purified water), hydroxypropyl cellulose, maltodextrin, silica, vegetable stearate.
