Nutritional Components Naturally Occurring:
L-Ergothioneine in Super Immunity cannot be created by a mammal’s body, however, it has a special transport system made specifically to transport L-Ergo to where it’s needed. While the scientific reasoning as to why it’s so effective is very complicated, the short explanation is that it contains 7,000 times the amount of Trolox ( a water-soluble Vitamin E analogue) per unit of water-soluble Vitamin E. What this means is L-Ergo has the potential to provide antioxidant protection to your pet's cells at a much higher ratio than more commonly known antioxidants like Vitamin E.
In addition, L-Ergo helps to reduce activity of reactive oxygen molecules and may help stimulate red blood cell production. L-Ergothioneine helps fight the oxidative stress caused by free radicals that attack your pet’s system on a daily basis. Stress, aging and/or poor nutrition can cause metabolic cell degradation which leads to a weaker immune system.
Selenium: Assists in fighting the cellular stress of free radicals and aging.
Copper: These essential minerals are important for proper immune function and for producing antioxidants to help reduce free radicals.
Potassium: Benefits include promotion of a healthy heart, water balance, stress reduction, healthy kidney and other general functions.
Beta-Glucans: Glucans are polysaccharides made up of chains of glucose molecules. These carbohydrates have shown potential in reducing occurrences of and helping treat cancer, lower cholesterol, treat viral diseases and diabetes,and increase immune system function. Mushroom beta-glucans are polysaccharides made up of long chains of glucose molecules with specific linkages. These carbohydrates have been shown to increase immune system function.
Selenomethionine: Amino acid containing selenium that cannot be synthesized by higher animals but can be obtained from plant material as well as mushrooms. Research has shown protective effects of selenium in against aging, heart disease & arthritis.
Essential Amino Acids: Basic components of proteins and are "the building blocks" of the body. Amino acids help build cells, repair tissue and form antibodies to help fight bacteria and viruses. In addition, they carry oxygen throughout the body and assist in muscle activity.
Vitamin B1: (thiamine) Essential in converting foods into energy, helps supports the normal function of the nervous system, muscles and heart and promotes normal growth and development.
Vitamin B2: (riboflavin) Promotes healthy skin, circulation, digestive and nervous systems. Also supports normal red blood cell and antibody production.
Vitamin B3: (niacin) Regulates circulation, hormone production, the digestive and nervous systems, promotes healthy skin.
Vitamin B5: (pantothenic acid) Essential in absorption and metabolism of proteins, fats & carbohydrates. Promotes stress reduction.
Vitamin B12: Essential for red blood cell production. Lack of B12 can cause symptoms such as excessive tiredness, breathlessness, listlessness, and poor resistance to infection
Vitamin C: Strong antioxidant, fights pollution in the body, protects against infection, and promotes healing and system immunity.
Vitamin D: Promotes healthy bones through regulation of calcium & phosphorus.
Vitamin E: Powerful antioxidant. Promotes healthy immune function and may assist in DNA repair.
Natural Enzymes & Proteins. Promotes efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients.
