Proglucamune

Our modern lives are more demanding than ever and most people can’t afford to have time out with sickness. With over 200 different viruses responsible for infecting us with a cold every year, people with a busy lifestyle want “insurance” against colds and flus and need a more effective way to stay fit and well, even when they are under stress. USANA’s Proglucamune daily supplement combines ancient wisdom with modern science to support robust immune function. The unique combination of zinc plus baker’s yeast and reishi and shiitake mushrooms in the InCelligence Beta-Glucan Complex is designed to help support your body’s natural defences.

The immune system is made up of many biological structures and processes within an organism and protects against disease. To function properly, the immune system detects a wide variety of foreign agents and pathogens from viruses to parasitic worms, and distinguishes them from the organism's own healthy tissue. In most cases, the immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing infections, but sometimes problems with the immune system can lead to illness and infection.

For optimal immune function, it is important to support all aspects of our immunity, including surface immunity, innate immunity and adaptive immunity.

To help your whole immune system function better, USANA created Proglucamune, the immune-optimiser product, to help immune cells adapt to your unique needs.

What is Proglucamune?

The unique formulation of USANA’s Proglucamune combines ancient wisdom with modern science, and has four potent, natural immune-boosting ingredients in one bottle:

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)

Reishi mushroom has been used as an enhancer of longevity for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Based on its traditional use for longevity and boosting Qi, Reishi is often called the ‘Mushroom of Immortality’. Reishi has long been used to support the immune response and for heart function. It also helps promote cellular protection and is rich in fungal polysaccharides with immunomodulating properties.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)

Shiitake, also called ‘Black Forest Mushroom’ or ‘Golden Oak Mushroom’, are high in several essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals and lentinan - a polysaccharide and the key constituent of Shiitake. These nutrients help to keep the immune system strong.

Baker’s Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

Proglucamune provides beta 1,3/1,6 glucan, a natural carbohydrate derived from a proprietary strain of Baker’s Yeast. This unique beta-glucan has been clinically proven to prime the immune system. Clinical studies have shown reductions in symptomatic days of upper respiratory tract infections, improved immunity, improved health in people under stress and reduced “down time” during cold season after supplementation with beta-glucan. The yeast beta-glucans have also been shown to support vitality, mood state and general well-being which help protect against the harmful effects of stress.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential trace element that supports proper functioning of immune cells and serves as an intracellular signalling molecule for immune cells, enhancing the effectiveness of the InCelligence Beta-Glucan Complex. It also acts as an antioxidant and helps defend against oxidative stress. Zinc deficiency may impair many metabolic functions, making supplementation very important.

Why Proglucamune?

Proglucamune is a superior product for helping immune cells adapt to your unique needs. It contains a certified organic blend of medicinal mushrooms (Reishi and Shiitake), combined with natural beta-glucans from Baker’s Yeast plus zinc to help boost immunity by strengthening your immune cells.

It supports the immune cells to work more effectively and helps them to minimise the negative impact that stress or strenuous exercise can have on immune function.

These ingredients have a long history of use, and have been used in various clinical studies. These studies show support for the body’s natural immune defences, including helping to counteract the effects of stress, and enhancing energy levels. The InCelligence Beta-Glucan Complex contains a certified organic blend of mushrooms combined with a strain of baker’s yeast proven to be effective for priming cells’ natural protective ability.

Proglucamune is laboratory tested and quality guaranteed and meets British Pharmacopoeia specifications for potency, uniformity and disintegration where applicable.
