Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a whole food yeast fermentate that can be added to many dietary supplements and functional food products. It’s a unique ingredient comprised of numerous nutrients that work together to help strengthen your immune system for better overall health. In other words, it acts like a multivitamin for your immune system.
A whole food is something healthy found in nature that is minimally processed. Applesauce, simply baked and pureed apples without any additives, would be considered a whole food. Immuno Armour is made using a natural, safe yeast called Saccharomyces cerevisiae that goes through a fermentation process. Fermentation is a process that happens naturally in nature. During Immuno Armour’s fermentation process, S. cerevisiae cells produce beneficial metabolites. This high-metabolite, nutritious broth is then gently dried down to a powder – never solvents, extractions, or other processing that removes the diverse benefits of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Seven published human clinical trials, as well as animal and cellular studies have shown that Immuno Armour supports a strong immune system that appropriately responds to daily challenges. Immuno Armour has also been shown to support year-round respiratory health.* Immuno Armour helps build a strong immune system by significantly increasing Natural Killer Cell activity and antioxidant protection within hours of consumption and over time helps increase sIgA antibodies, which are important for mucosal health. Lab studies also suggest that Immuno Armour acts as a prebiotic, nourishing the beneficial bacteria in your gut.
We take safety seriously. Numerous safety studies have been done, including multiple human research studies confirming the safety of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is safe for adults and children. Also, an independent panel of food safety experts concluded Saccharomyces cerevisiae meets FDA requirements to be considered GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe).
Unlike most other immune ingredients, Immuno Armour has published human clinicals showing it supports the immune system in many different ways. Immuno Armour helps strengthen the body’s defences by increasing antioxidant protection and Natural Killer cell activity in as little as two hours while increasing sIgA over time. In vitro studies also suggest that Immuno Armour acts as a prebiotic, nourishing the beneficial bacteria in your gut, where over 70% of your immune cells reside. Most importantly, published studies with hundreds of people show Immuno Armour is effective during both winter and springtime.
Everyday, your immune system is constantly being challenged by viruses, bacteria, environmental toxins and other pathogens. Stress, lack of sleep and poor nutrition can also affect your immune health. All these stressors may lead to a compromised immune system. A strong immune system is one that responds appropriately when faced with different challenges in order to keep you feeling your best.
The immune system not only affects whether or not you get sick or have an infection but also your every day energy level, your ability to deal with stress and more.
Our immune systems are constantly being challenged everyday, not just during specific times of the year. Human clinical trials demonstrate Immuno Armour works to maintain good health during the winter and spring months. Also, human clinical trials have shown that some benefits of Immuno Armour happen within hours of consumption while others help strengthen immune response over several weeks. This makes Immuno Armour an ideal way to support daily immune health.
All seven published human studies on Immuno Armour used a daily dosage of 500 mg for adults. For children, the recommended dosage is 125 mg per 18 kg of body weight, as calculated as a fraction of the adult dose.
Immuno Armour has been thoroughly tested for safety, including a study designed to look at likely interactions with medication. In all of the tests and studies, there has not been a case of Immuno Armour interacting with prescription medication or over-the-counter medication. However, you should consult with your healthcare provider before taking any dietary supplement ingredient.
