Immugen is a comprehensive immune support formula that contains nutrients, botanicals, and glandulars. Small companion animals face numerous immune system challenges, especially when they are either very young or older. Immugen provides vitamin, mineral, amino acid, botanical, and glandular ingredients that optimize a companion animal's immune system function. For example, studies have demonstrated the ability of Echinacea angustifolia to activate the body's natural killer cells.
Astragalus membranaceus has a long history of use for stimulating immune function. Reishi mushroom extract stimulates B- and T-lymphocytes, the major cellular components of the body's adaptive immune response. Thymus extracts can naturally enhance several immune parameters. Zinc promotes acquired immunity and macrophage function. And vitamins A and C support the production and activity of white blood cells.
