IMMUSE isLactococcus lactisstrain plasma (LC-plasma), discovered by Kyowa Hakko’s parent company Kirin Holding Company. It acts by activating plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC), which in turn activate NK, Killer-T, Helper-T, and B cells, providing immune support. IMMUSE is backed by two safety studies and nine efficacy studies.
Dr. Shintaro Ichikawa, Director of Technical Affairs at Kyowa Hakko USA, said in the press release: “It is well known that prolonged high intensity exercise decreases immune function and increases the risk of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). It is a serious problem for athletes because not only are URTIs unpleasant, they will also reduce training efficiency. There is emerging evidence that has shown oral intake of LC-Plasma activates pDC and provides immune support. This novel approach to enhance the immune system may improve the experience of continuous high intensity training.”
