SCIENCE
Multi-factorial Approach
ActivaMune is a unique dietary supplement that works in a multi-factorial way to boost the immune system. The ingredients
within its patented formula have been scientifically shown to enhance the immune
system, detoxify the body from harmful chemicals and support multiple organ
systems throughout the body: breast,
prostate, cardiovascular, vision, skin and colon health.
Immune Modulation
ActivaMune's most important
and differentiating attribute as a supplement is that, in a safe and natural way, it
increases the sensitivity of cells in the body to the Interferon-Gamma
protein (IFN-G) in addition to increasing the body's Interferon-Gamma
production. Interferon-Gamma is a key signaling protein within the immune
system that boosts the ability of the body to defend itself.
In addition to Interferon-Gamma, DIM also
stimulates the production of the Granulocyte Colony
Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) which is directly responsible for White Blood
Cell production in the body, Interlukin-6 (IL-6), which is an important
immune enhancing cytokine, and Interlukin-12 (IL-12) which
stimulates the growth and function of T-Cells.
The scientists at UC Berkeley have additionally demonstrated
that DIM synergizes with Interferon-Gamma in promoting the activity of the
Major Histocompatibility Complex I (MHC-I)--an important molecular system
that flags antigens to the immune system.
A variety of
factors affect the immune system. Sleep, regular exercise,
nutrition, obesity, environmental toxins, age and lifestyle habits such as
smoking are all important factors. Aging is particularly important as it
affects all people regardless of their general lifestyle habits and it
requires that individuals try to compensate for its effects by modifying the
other factors influencing their immune system and general wellness.
While we hope that all who are reading this will make an effort to exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep,
and maintain a healthy body weight, ActivaMune is here to help with a
nutritional immune support formula that is so robust, physicians, biomedical
investigators and even Nobel Prize winning scientists from around the world
have made it a regular part of their daily nutrition.

Other Ingredients in ActivaMune
Attentive
customers will note that DIM is not the only ingredient in ActivaMune. It is
one of numerous important ingredients. The following overview provides a
brief description of the functionality and importance of the other
ingredients in ActivaMune:
Lycopene, the
key phytonutrient found in tomatoes, is an antioxidant that promotes
immune, cardiovascular, breast and prostate health. Selenium is another important
antioxidant, endogenous to broccoli, that has been widely studied for its support of immune, breast,
prostate, cardiovascular and vision health. Sulforaphane, discovered at the
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, activates phase II detoxification enzymes
within the body that help to detoxify the body from harmful chemicals and
carcinogens that build up through exposure to environmental pollution. Lutein and
Zeaxanthin
are
two important phytonutrients found in spinach that promote vision health and support the immune system. Vitamins C, D3 & E along with Calcium
further bolster the biological activities of the other ingredients and boost the immune system. (As DIM's
immune modulatory pathway is promoted by calcium-dependent protein kinase
activity, the presence of Vitamin D3 and Calcium help to support DIM's
molecular biology.) More information about this is available at the
Diindolylmethane Immune Activation Data Center.)
