Wellmune WGP is a functional food or beverage additive proven to be an effective immune system booster and source of immune system nutrition. Wellmune stimulates the body's natural defenses and acts as a food for the immune system, promoting vitality. Numerous clinical and pre-clinical studies show that Wellmune boosts the immune system by activating key human immune cells including macrophages and neutrophils, which are the body's best weopon against foreign intruders.

Wellmune is a natural compound (gluco polysachharide) isolated from the cell walls of a strain of baker's yeast. It is patented, has a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) rating by the FDA, is kosher, non allergenic and GMO-free (contains no Genetically Modified Organisms).

Over ten science and medical journals have published findings on the safety and effectiveness of Wellmune in the past several years. In various trials, Wellmune reduced the incidence of fever and eliminated the need for study subjects to miss work or school due to colds over a 90 day period. It's important to note that Wellmune does not prevent colds or sickness, but that it reduces the severity and duration of symptoms.

A second trial illustrated that when administered daily to long distance marathon runners, common ailments suffered post-race decreased significantly, including upper respiratory tract (URT) infection symptoms such as sore throats.A four week study was completed with 75 runners from the Carlsbad Marathon consuming Wellmune in 2007.

The study measured the mood states of vigor, fatigue, tension, confusion, depression and anger using 65 adjective based intensity scales. This is a validated type of psychometric test known as a Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. The Wellmune group reported 22% higher scores in vigor, 48% reduction in fatigue, 38% reduction in tension and a 38% reduction in confusion over participants receiving placebos.

A final completed trial of Wellmune usage among a group of wildlife firefighters over fourteen days had the same type of results. Results showed that the perception of overall health was better in the Wellmune recipients than the control group. No differences were found in days missed from work between the two groups. When examining daily levels of activity at work over the two week period, there were no differences in daily average activity among the firefighters.Official conclusions were that Wellmune and beta glucans helped reduce the symptoms and incidences of URTI (upper respiratory tract illnesses) among wildlife firefighters.

Unlike many other supplements, Wellmune is not taken directly but rather is packaged into foods and bevergaes. As of this writing, the newest product to include Wellmune WGP is MonaVie's Mmun (prounced immune) juice. Wellmune WGP is manufactured by Biothera and then made available to companies such as MonaVie for inclusion in finished juice-based products. With solid science behind it, look for Wellmune in additional foods and beverages soon.
