Research has shown that stress and elevated cortisol levels associated with stress negatively impact immune function. A recently published study, evaluated the stress-reducing, immune enhancing properties of WellBody 365 from NutraGenesis. This patent-pending blend combines the clinically proven, stress reducing properties of multi-patented Sensoril (a standardized extract of Ashwagandha) with the immune modulating benefits of a patented, clinically tested, maitake mushroom extract, MaitakeGold 404.
Mice fed a normal diet that were subject to stress had higher levels of corticosterone (equivalent to cortisol in humans) and decreased immune function compared to non-stressed animals. In contrast, consumption of WellBody 365 resulted in reduced corticosterone in stressed mice that were equivalent to levels in non-stressed mice and significantly higher levels of phagocytosis and the cytokines, IL-6 and IL-12, in both stressed and non-stressed conditions compared to control animals. These results indicate that WellBody 365 reverses the deleterious effects of stress on immune function and also provides comprehensive immune support during periods of lower stress. In addition, based on individual results obtained for Sensoril and MaitakeGold 404, the bioactives in WellBody 365 appear to be acting synergistically to enhance immune function For further information: www.nutragenesis.com
