2) If I am allergic to mushrooms, can I take ImmPower?
Usually, when you are allergic to mushrooms, you are allergic to the top or flower of the mushroom. ImmPower AHCC is extracted from the root of the mushroom and through the extraction process, allergens are removed. There shouldn’t be an issue with taking ImmPower because many people who are allergic to mushrooms, take ImmPower successfully. However, if you are concerned, please feel free to check with a healthcare professional that specializes in natural products.
3) What are the benefits of taking ImmPower?
ImmPower AHCC, supported by over 30 clinical trials and studies, has been shown to enhance the immune system by increasing Natural Killer cell activity, which scientists have identified as the key component to a strong and healthy immune system. Having the best research in the natural products industry, ImmPower AHCC has been established as one of the most powerful supplements used to support the immune system. (See research at www.theharmonyco.com)
4) ImmPower targets Natural Killer (NK) cell activity. What are NK cells?
Natural Killer (NK) cells were identified by scientists in the 1980’s as the key or most important white blood cell on the front line of defense in the immune system. Natural Killer (NK) cells patrol the body, killing and destroying all “non-self” cells which are any cells that don’t belong in your body. Unfortunately, as we age or deal with stress, Natural Killer cell activity declines, making us more vulnerable because our immune systems are less effective. ImmPower AHCC, has been shown, through over 30 clinical trials and studies, to increase Natural Killer cell activity, enhancing our immune function sometimes by more than 300%!
5) What are the ingredients in ImmPower?
ImmPower is a dietary supplement containing 100% AHCC®, (Active Hexose Correlated Compound). In the formulation of AHCC, Japanese scientists isolated the
most beneficial immune supporting attributes of several medicinal
mushrooms, then bred them together to create a brand new variety that
contains the most powerful benefits of each…all rolled into one!
AHCC is so potent that dozens of scientific studies have established
it to be one of the most powerful – and safe – immune stimulators available.
6) Where does ImmPower come from?
ImmPower is manufactured by American BioSciences of Blauvet, NY. AHCC, the main ingredient in ImmPower, is manufactured in Sapporo, Japan.
7) What is the recommended usage of ImmPower?
If you are simply looking to sustain a healthy immune system or are relatively healthy and want to jump start your immune system, we recommend that you begin with a loading dose for maximum benefit. Therefore, we suggest that you take 3 grams, 6 capsules a day, 2 with each meal, for the first 3-4 weeks and then cut back to simply 1 gram, 2 capsules a day, one in the morning and one in the evening, as a maintenance dose. However, if you have a compromised or weakened immune system, many of our customers begin with 6 a day and continue for several months until they feel healthy again.
Also, we do recommend that you take it one hour apart from other supplements or medications and if you have a problem taking capsules, the capsules can be opened and the ingredients can be sprinkled over a cold food (i.e. applesauce, yogurt, pudding, etc.)
9) Who should not consume ImmPower?
Children and women who are pregnant or nursing should consult with their healthcare professional before consuming ImmPower.
10) Are there any side effects and/or contraindications associated with ImmPower?
There are no known contraindications or side effects with ImmPower. However, if someone is taking medication, we suggest that you consult with your healthcare professional.
11) How long does someone take ImmPower before they notice a difference? Is there a way to tell that the product is working?
People taking ImmPower can notice, within a few hours of taking ImmPower:
- enhanced energy levels
- reduction in stress
- improvement in concentration and appetite, if someone’s appetite is poor
Research has shown that in as little as three hours, Natural Killer (NK) cell activity can triple (up to 300%) and science has shown that Natural Killer cells are the key components to a strong and healthy immune system. However, how quickly results are seen depends on the initial state of your immune system and whether or not it is very compromised and/or suppressed.
In addition to seeing and feeling noticeable results, there is a blood test available called the Natural Killer (NK) Cell Activity Test. Many healthcare professionals now offer this test to their patients.
12) How long should someone continue to take ImmPower?
ImmPower is one of those products that goes to work right away in the body so you see benefits rather quickly. Usually people love the way they feel so much that they choose to keep ImmPower as part of their daily regimen because the benefits can wane once you stop taking it. That’s why we recommend it as a daily supplement.
13) What does it cost to use ImmPower on a monthly basis?
The retail price of ImmPower is $49.95 a bottle. However, we have created, not only a multiple order discount program, but also an automatic shipment program that brings the cost per bottle down to only $35.80 each. Feel free to call and ask for details 1-800-422-5518.
14) Is that expensive compared with other supplements?
ImmPower is supported by the most extensive scientific research in the natural products industry. Knowing this, I can’t speak about the price of other dietary supplements in relation to their effectiveness, however, I can say, with full confidence, that the results received with ImmPower are priceless and backed by science.
15) How does ImmPower compare to other supplements that stimulate and enhance the immune system?
While we cannot answer questions about other products, most don’t compare to ImmPower for the simple fact that they don’t have the extensive scientific research that we do. AHCC, the main ingredient in ImmPower, has more than 30 published research studies and articles proving its effectiveness. Also, ImmPower is manufactured under the strictest quality control and is a pure product, containing no fillers unlike many other dietary supplements on the market.
16) Can ImmPower be taken with the American BioSciences supplement Avé™?
Yes, and they are a very powerful combination because they provide complementary benefits in terms of supporting different aspects of immune health.
In the immune system, any “non-self” cells that don’t belong in your body, disguise themselves, trying to look like healthy cells so that they don’t get attacked by our body’s defenses. Ave successfully removes their “masks”, exposing them for who they really are. That’s where ImmPower comes in. Increasing Natural Killer cells in the body so that they can patrol the body, looking for any “non self” cells and killing or destroying them. The two together provide unsurpassed immune system performance.
When taking these two products together, all we ask is that you take Ave two hours before or after taking ImmPower.
17) Can ImmPower be taken with the American BioSciences supplement HP8™?
Yes, they work in a very complementary manner, but through different mechanisms. HP8’s effects are targeted specifically to aspects of prostate health while ImmPower increases Natural Killer cell activity in the immune system, killing and destroying any “non-self” cells which are any cells that don’t belong in your body. However, we do suggest consuming ImmPower one hour before or after taking HP8.
18) Can ImmPower be given to my pet?
Yes, pet’s have immune systems as well. That’s why we’ve created NK-9, a pet’s form of ImmPower AHCC. It’s been formulated with the proper dosage designed exclusively for pets and the results from this product have been incredible.
19) Can ImmPower be used with other dietary supplements or prescription medications?
Yes, there have been no contraindications reported using ImmPower with any other dietary supplements or medications. However, for effectiveness, we do recommend that you take ImmPower one hour before or after taking other dietary supplements or medications. If you do have a concern about contraindications, please consult with your healthcare professional.
20) How do I store ImmPower?
ImmPower can be stored at room temperature, in a cabinet or cool place where it is not in direct sunlight or heat.
21) Are there any supplements that would work well in conjunction with ImmPower?
ImmPower happens to be an extraordinary dietary supplement backed by over 30 clinical trials and studies proving it’s effectiveness on the immune system. Of course, there are many supplements on the market that may be helpful as well. Since everyone’s state of health is different, consult your healthcare professional about those that would be most helpful to you, in addition to ImmPower.
