Maitake D-Fraction® is widely acclaimed to provide nutritional support for cellular immune function.*

SX-Fraction™ has been developed, upgraded and standardized based on its own already patented beta-glucan compound (U.S. Patent #5,773,426).

Shiitake mycelia has been reported to be immunomodulating in the following ways:
 
1) Activation of macrophages, promoting recognition of antigens and information transmission to the T-helper cells, increasing rate of phagocytosis

2) Increase and reinforce interleukin-1 production, thereby supporting the T-helper cells

3) Promote the mitosis and proliferation of B-lymphocytes

4) Promote antibody production
