Ingredients: Maitake and Shiitake Mushrooms
What are Maitake and Shiitake Mushrooms ?
Maiake and Shiitake Mushrooms have been used for thousands
of years in Traditional Chinese (Herbal) Medicine. A
recent independent study showed
that Shiitake Mushrooms increased NK immune cell function
42% above baseline. However, the same study showed that when
Shiitake Mushrooms were combined with Transfer Factor™
and other immune supporting supplements in Transfer Factor
Plus™, NK cell function was increased by an incredible
248% (more than triple).
Maitake and Shiitake Mushrooms are included in Cordyvant™, a
proprietary combination of glyconutrients which support
the innate immune system.* Cordyvant™ is present
in all Transfer Factor Plus™ products.
