Product Comparison

An independent university study recently demonstrated that Wellmune WGP, the active ingredient in Immune Health Basics, is significantly more effective than any other leading nutritional supplement in enhancing the ability of the immune system to protect the body.

Researchers at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center, located at the University of Louisville, measured the ability of leading immune supplements to enhance the immune response. For this purpose, a preclinical cancer model was selected in which animals were treated with a monoclonal antibody that targeted the tumor. Although no nutritional supplement is intended to treat or cure any disease, researchers wanted to determine whether the supplements would complement the drug therapy by fortifying the immune response. Supplement doses were based on information provided by the manufacturer of each product.

Only 10% of the animals treated with the monoclonal antibody survived 100 days. However, 90% of the animals that also received Immune Health Basics survived 100 days, compared with 40% for those given MGN-3 and 30% for those whose diets were supplemented with Maitake or AHCC. Only 10% of animals treated with Echinacea survived 100 days, the same percent as those that were treated with the monoclonal antibody alone.
