The immune system is made up of cells, tissues and organs that act in the organism’s defense against the harmful effects of external microorganisms. The supplements indicated for immunity act as strengthening agents of this system, increasing the antibodies production and, consequently, its defense activity.
A unique shiitake molecule, known as lentinan, improves the immune system, increasing resistance against infections and helping to slow the growth of tumors.
