GRAS Immune Support Ingredient

BRATTLEBORO, V.T.Nutragensis LLC released a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) ingredient shown to provide balanced, efficacious immune support while being highly bioavailable and safe for daily use. The ingredient, WellBody365, combines immune-modulating maitake mushroom extract with Sensoril®, an advanced, standardized extract of Ashwagandha that is clinically proven to increase the bodys resistance to stress and lower serum cortisol levels. WellBody365 is safe for consumption in dietary supplement formulations as well as food and beverage applications.

Over the past seven years, in a series of human clinical trials and in vitro studies, researchers at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Research Hospital have found the maitake extract found in WellBody365 is an ingredient shown to increase the resistance of stress and reduce cortisol levels to maintain a healthy immune system. In conjunction with this research, this extract received an Investigational New Drug (IND) number.

In a double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial by Nutragenesis LLC, subjects taking the recommended dosage of Sensoril experienced a 69.9-percent reduction in their perceived level of stress and a 24.4-percent reduction in serum cortisol levels. This extracts adaptogenic properties, which help bring the entire body back into balance after stress, also resulted in significant anti-aging benefits in the same trail in the areas of reduced fatigue, mental cognition, improved blood glucose levels and cardiovascular health.
