Immune Genesis Ingredients
Elderberry (BerryShield™)

Elderberries (Sambucus) are dark purple berries native throughout the Northern hemisphere with traditional uses as a food and medicine. Rich in anthocyanins and other phytochemicals, these berries have potent antioxidant and antiviral effects 1.
A meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials found that elderberry supplementation significantly reduced the duration and severity of respiratory tract infection symptoms, especially those from influenza 2.
For example, in a study that took place during the influenza B outbreak in Panama found that those who started taking elderberry syrup within 24-hours of symptom onset recovered 33% more quickly 3. Roughly 9 out of 10 participants were recovered after just 3 days, compared to just 3 in 10 taking the placebo.

In another study of adults traveling overseas, supplementing with 600–900 mg of elderberry extract from 10 days before travel to 5 days afterwards reduced the overall duration of having cold symptoms (rhinovirus) by 2 days and the severity of those symptoms by 38% 4.

Reishi Mushroom

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a bioactive mushroom that has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for a variety of ailments, earning it the nickname “mushroom of immortality.” One of its principal uses is as an immunomodulator that enhances immune function against viral and bacterial infections.5
In particular, the polysaccharides within reishi have been shown to:6
- Improve natural killer cell activity
- Improve communication (antigen presentation) within the immune system
- Increase lymphocyte counts and lymphocyte function
- Enhance the phagocyte system responsible for engulfing and destroying pathogens
- Suppress the inflammatory TNF-α
- Improve T-helper cell activity
Beta-glucans (Wellmune®)

Wellmune® is a unique form of beta-glucan isolated and purified from the cell walls of brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Beta-glucans have structural variation that determines their impact on health, and yeast-derived beta-glucans like Wellmune® affect the immune system by mimicking pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and “training” immune cells to better recognize and attack true pathogens 7.
Several studies in marathoners have shown that 250 mg of Wellmune® taken around strenuous exercise reduces the number of days spent being sick and the overall severity of illness from respiratory tract infections 8-10.
For example, in marathoners who took Wellmune® for a month after running a marathon, the rate of respiratory infections were reduced by 53–65% after 2 weeks and by 66% after 4 weeks 10.

Other studies have found similar antiviral effects in older adults and moderately stressed middle-aged women 11,12 . In adults suffering from seasonal allergies, symptom severity was reduced by 52% with 250 mg/d of Wellmune®, along with improvements in physical and mental health, emotional wellbeing, and overall quality of life13.
Quercefit™ (Quercetin Phytosome ®)

Quercetin is a flavonoid with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral properties 14. In particular, quercetin is able to inhibit the ability or respiratory viruses to enter cells and replicate, essentially reducing the risk of infection 15,16. It also acts as a zinc ionophore, meaning that it carries zinc ions into cells so that the zinc can prevent viral replication 17. In athletes, supplementing 1000 mg/d of quercetin for three weeks before, during, and 2 weeks after an intense 3-day cycling protocol reduced the post-training rate of respiratory infections by 40% — only 1 in 20 cyclists (5%) using quercetin got sick compared to 9 in 20 (45%) in the placebo group. 18

In healthy and fit middle-aged and older adults, supplementing with 1000 mg/d of quercetin for 12 weeks reduced the duration and severity of upper respiratory tract infections by 31% and 36%, respectively 19 .

Despite these favorable results, there remains a significant problem with conventional quercetin supplements: poor bioavailability 20. Quercetin isn’t well absorbed from the intestinal tract, and any that is absorbed is rapidly metabolized by the liver. The solution to this problem is found within a novel phytosome form of quercetin in which the quercetin is combined with sunflower lecithin to increase its absorption and overall bioavailability 21. Compared to regular quercetin, quercetin phytosome® increased serum quercetin concentrations by 20-fold over 24 hours following supplementation.

Baikal Skullcap Extract

Baikal Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) is a flowering plant used in traditional Chinese Medicine for the treatment of respiratory infections, inflammation, diarrhea, and dysentery. It’s bioactive constituents, particularly baicalin, have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-viral, and liver-protective effects 22.
Several studies have found that baicalin inhibits the ability of respiratory viruses to replicate 23-25, leading to lower infection rates and severity, lower levels of lung inflammation and damage 26, and a reduced death rate 27,28. It’s also shown antiviral effects against dengue virus 29, enterovirus-71 30, Marek’s disease virus31, and HIV [32–34] and several other viruses.
Acerola Berry

Acerola berries are native to South America and traditionally used both as a food and as a treatment for seasonal allergies. They are an incredibly rich source of phytochemicals and vitamin C 35,36, with the latter being more bioavailable and better retained than isolated vitamin C supplements 37.

Vitamin C is known to play a central role in immune function by stimulating the production of white blood cells and enhancing their functionality, especially those involved in innate immunity and phagocytosis 38, and it’s well-established that vitamin C insufficiency increases the risk of infections 39.
A meta-analysis of 29 studies found that vitamin C supplementation was associated with a lower risk of contracting the common cold, especially in adults who were regularly active 40. This meta-analysis also found that the severity of infection was significantly reduced with vitamin C supplementation.
Another systematic review of studies involving pneumonia found that vitamin C supplementation was associated with an 80% lower incidence of pneumonia and may accelerate healing in those who contracted the infection 41. For example, vitamin C has been reported to reduce the duration of pneumonia hospital stays by 19–36% 42.
Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex

Astragalus

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) is the precursor to glutathione production, the body’s master antioxidant and critical regulator of immune function. Glutathione is essential for the proliferation of white blood cells and the process of phagocytosis, which not only destroys pathogens, but also prepares them for presentation to the adaptive immune system 56,57.
NAC supplementation reliably increases glutathione concentrations in situations of increased oxidative stress and immune function, such as during infections, making it of therapeutic interest for the prevention and treatment of respiratory tract infections 58–60.
In middle-aged and elderly adults, supplementation with 1200 mg/d of NAC for six months reduced the odds of having influenza by 43% compared to placebo 61. It also reduced the severity of the infection and nearly halved the amount of time participants reported being in bed due to the flu.

Moreover, a meta-analysis of five randomized controlled trials found that NAC significantly shortened the duration of intensive care unit stay and tended to reduce mortality in patients suffering from acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) — a severe respiratory infection outcome 62.
Larch Arabinogalactan (ResistAid®)

Vitamin D3

Every immune cell in our body has vitamin D receptors and responds to its signal, with the overarching effects being to suppress inflammation, promote immune tolerance, and maintain proper functionality of immune cells 67,68.
Additionally, vitamin D helps maintain tight junctions, gap junctions, and adherens junctions 69, all of which are disturbed by viral and bacterial infections as part of their efforts to establish a stronghold within the body 70,71.
A meta-analysis of 25 randomized controlled trials reported that vitamin D supplementation reduced the risk of acute respiratory infection by 12% — only 33 individuals would require supplemental vitamin D to prevent just 1 of them from suffering a respiratory infection 72,73. While everyone will require different amounts of vitamin D to obtain sufficient levels, the Endocrine Society has recommended that the general population obtain at least 2,000 IU per day to achieve vitamin D sufficiency 74.
Zinc

Selenium (SelenoExcell®)

Selenium exerts various biological effects as part of larger amino acid structures, with some of the best known being involved in glutathione and thyroid hormone production. It’s also critical to all components of the immune system, with supplementation protecting against viral and bacterial infections, particularly as people age 80,81.
Specifically, selenium insufficiency has been reported to reduce the killing ability of neutrophils, reduce the ability of T-cells to recognize antigens and proliferate, and reduce antibody responses to infection 82. It’s been shown that benign strains of influenza virus become virulent, by undergoing genetic mutations, when passed through selenium deficient hosts 83.
However, even under conditions of normal selenium status and intake, supplementing with 100–200 mcg has been reported to enhance the adaptive immune response against infections 84,85. In elderly adults, supplementing with 400 mcg/d increased T-cell and natural killer cell counts, as well as natural killer cell activity 86.
Copper

Serrapeptase

Serrapeptase is an enzyme produced by the bacteria Serratia marcescens, originally found in the guts of silkworms and used to eat through their cocoons. In the human body, these proteolytic enzymes travel through the blood and degrade damaged proteins, thereby helping resolve inflammation that comes about from injury or infection.92,93
In mice, for example, serrapeptase is as effective as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for resolving damage-induced inflammation 94. In humans with chronic inflammatory conditions affecting the ears, nose, or throat, 30 mg/d of serrapeptase nearly eliminated symptoms like pain after just one week and led to an “excellent” or “good” improvement in 97% of patients, compared with just 22% of those using a placebo.95

Proteolytic enzymes like serrapeptase are also extremely powerful compounds for improving mucous membrane barrier health. They essentially break down “old” and “stale” mucus that hangs around too long, exposing any viruses or bacteria that try to enter the body to a fresh layer of viscous mucus rich in immunoglobulins that serve as a first-line defense against infection 96.
Andrographis

Andrographis (Andrographis paniculata) is a plant used in Ayurvedic medicine and throughout Asia to treat infectious diseases and fevers. It’s been shown to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunostimulatory activity 97. In particular, andrographis increases the activity of both the innate and adaptive immune systems.98
A meta-analysis of 33 randomized controlled trials involving over 7,000 adults found that andrographis supplementation during acute respiratory infections reduced the severity and duration of symptoms, including cough and sore throat 99. On average, andrographis reduced the duration of respiratory infections by one day.
Earlier systematic reviews have found similar findings supporting the efficacy of andrographis for reducing respiratory tract infection symptom severity.100–102
