NK Cell Activator™30 vegetarian tabletsItem Catalog Number: 01903For targeted seasonal protection, NK Cell Activator™ contains an enzymatically modified rice bran shown to be a potent immune modulator. NK Cell Activator™ supports the activity of natural killer (NK) cells — crucial components of your immune system.Benefits at a GlanceSupports the activity of natural killer cellsProtects against seasonal immune challengesEnzymatically modified rice bran is a potent immune modulatorBoosts “functional” activity of natural killer cells to support your immune systemSupports the Activity of Natural Killer CellsNatural killer (NK) cells function as the body’s first responders.1 As soon as NK cells sense a potential invasion, they are on the scene to initiate immune protection. Natural killer cells promote seasonal support for the body’s natural defense system.In addition, functional NK cells recognize and eliminate senescent cells that accumulate in aged tissues and create metabolic disturbances. As we age, natural killer cell activity markedly declines2 with a concurrent weakening of normal immune functions.3Protection against Seasonal Immune ChallengesRice bran exposed to shitake-derived enzymes produces powerful immune-modulating compounds. Enzymatically modified rice bran effectively boosts the functional activity of natural killer cells.In one clinical study, scientists documented a three-fold increase of natural killer cell activity in healthy individuals within three to four weeks of receiving 500 mg daily of the rice bran compound found in NK Cell Activator™.4In another double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, researchers noted that subjects taking the modified rice bran found in NK Cell Activator™ experienced a boost in myeloid dendritic cells — cells that act as key messengers between the innate and the adaptive immune systems.5Real-world Immune SupportNK cells normally provide your body’s first, immediate response to previously unknown immune challenges. Since NK cell function declines with age, we should consider taking special steps during the winter season to fill in this critical component of healthy immune function.Studies show that enzymatically modified rice bran rapidly and significantly boosts aging NK cell “functional” activity, with real-world immune support and protection from the effects of seasonal immune challenges.Supplement FactsServing Size 1 vegetarian tabletAmount Per ServingProprietary Enzymatically Modified Rice Bran500 mgOther ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, maltodextrin, dicalcium phosphate, croscarmellose sodium, stearic acid, silica, hydroxypropyl cellulose, coating (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, glycerin), vegetable stearate.Contains wheat.Non-GMODosage and UseTake one (1) tablet one to two times daily with food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.Suggested duration of use: 4 months.
