Does Wellmune Wgp Work? Who Says?

Wellmune WGP (One of the ingredients in MonaVie (M)Mun is the only specialty immune system booster that is shown with real scientific studies to enhance the immune system. Evidence comes from studies in two areas – 1) studies demonstrating its mechanism of action in the body and, and 2) studies measuring significant changes in immune response.

Many of the Wellmune WGP studies conducted to date have not been published. These three studies are among those that have been published in journals. [See the Author Box below for the link to access the original papers themselves].

Wellmune Marathon Study – Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, 2009.

Wellmune Cold and Flu Study – Journal of Applied Research, 2009.

Wellmune Antrax and Cancer Study in Mice – Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association, 2002.

Wellmune is not a vitamin and is therefore not available in the typical foods and beverages we consume. Wellmune is a functional ingredient added to foods or drinks. It is an all-natural compound (specifically a glucopolysachharide) isolated from the cell walls of a strain of baker’s yeast. Wellmune tells key immune cells to react more quickly to the presence of disease-causing organisms, resulting in improved overall health.

The Journal of Immunology, the official publication of the American Association of Immunologists, reported the mechanism by which Wellmune activates the immune system. The discovery was made using fluorescently labeled Wellmune WGP that could be tracked at a cellular level inside test subjects.

Independent trials show that Wellmune engages and stimulates the body’s natural defenses against a wide range of challenges. Human clinical studies and pre-clinical testing showed that Wellmune has a positive effect on:

* The percent of active immune cells available to defend the body.
* The amount of key biomarkers in the blood that regulate the body’s immune response.
* The mobilization of innate immune cells to the site of a foreign infection, enabling faster recognition of an intruder.
* The engulfing of foreign challenges, resulting in a boosted immune response.

The creators of Wellmune WGP and their academic associates have invested over $250 million in research and development in collaboration with well known institutions like Brown Cancer Center at the University of Louisville, the National Institute of Health, The Mayo Clinic and the U.S. and Canadian Departments of Defense.

Several science and medical journals have published findings on the safety and effectiveness of Wellmune recently. 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.

Another study showed that, when taken daily by post-marathon runners, Wellmune reduced upper respiratory tract (URT) infection symptoms such as sore throats which are common ailments faced normally by runners after completing the physical stresses of a long distance run. A four week study was completed with 75 runners from the Carlsbad Marathon consuming Wellmune in 2007.

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

A third study done with Wellmune and wildlife firefighters over a two week period had similar results. Perceived overall health was significantly higher in the Wellmune group compared to the placebo group. No differences were found in days missed from work between the two groups. In terms of daily activity levels, there were no differences in the average daily activity over the 14-day test period. The study concluded that Wellmune helps to suppress symptoms of upper respiratory tract illnesses (URTI) and increases the feeling of overall health in firefighters.

Wellmune 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). It also fits within all vegetarian and vegan diets. Wellmune benefits are available in several new products, meaning you can easily and affordably get all the benefits of a true, FDA-recognized supplement that actually will boost your immune system all year long.
