A Well-Balanced Immune System is the key to Better Performance
A well-functioning immune system is crucial for athletic performance as well as for an active lifestyle. Yet, exercise in itself has impact on the immune function. Research has shown that intensive exercise suppresses the immune system, compromising the body’s ability to defend itself.
Nutramunity™ helps support healthy immune function, so both athletes and gym goers can recover faster from exercise stress. Studies have demonstrated the oral intake of beta-1,3/1,6-glucan:
- Improves immune function
- Promotes healthy inflammatory response
- Supports mucosal immunity and promotes respiratory health
