The aging process causes a progressive decline in our ability to stay
healthy.1 The elderly become susceptible because their immune systems can’t
stand up to microscopic invaders. Many nutrients that Life Extension®
members take have been shown to support immune health.
Studies published in the 1980s and 1990s clearly show specific
immune-enhancing effects of the proper use of nutritional supplements,
proteins, and hormones. These substances increase host immune defense by
activating complementary systems, influencing the proper production of
specific antibodies from immune cells, and enhancing macrophages and natural
killer cell function.3-9
Immune Protect with PARACTIN® contains a combination of patented ingredients
that have been clinically shown to boost immune function, increasing the
body’s natural ability to combat challenges. Immune Protect with PARACTIN®
provides 100 milligrams of a proprietary, patented form of beta-glucan that
has been proven to activate the host immune system’s primary defenders by
activating complementary systems, and enhancing macrophages and natural
killer cell function.10-15 The immune cell-priming capabilities of this
patented, highly purified yeast derivative exceed those of all other sources
of immune supplements tested to date.
It also contains PARACTIN®, an extract of an herb used in Asia and India for
thousands of years to help with inflammatory factors, which provides
significant seasonal support. Among the active ingredients of this medicinal
herb is andrographolide, a phytochemical that exerts powerful
immune-boosting effects on the human body.16 The formula’s patented blend of
these andrographolides helps control damaging inflammatory factors caused by
cytokines, easing symptomatic discomfort and speeding recovery.17 Only
Immune Protect with Paractin® contains both beta-glucans and PARACTIN® to
help boost immunity and help with these inflammatory cytokines.
This formula also provides 250 milligrams of a standardized extract of Camu
camu (Myrciaria dubia) (or wildcrafted berry), a small fruit native to the
Amazonian rain forest and one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C.18
One capsule should be taken daily, especially during the fall and winter
months, when immunity is low. The (1->3)-beta-d-glucan complex takes about
five days to prime the immune system for optimal protection, so daily
supplementation is highly recommended. (To assist recovery, up to six
capsules per day can be taken as needed on a temporary basis.)
Dosage and Use
Take one capsule daily with water 30 minutes before a meal, or as
recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
Increase dose up to six capsules daily if needed. |
