SupplySide Intensive events are known for showcasing innovative ingredients that are changing the landscape of the health and wellness industry. One recent event highlighted the spotlight on functional immune health, featuring the groundbreaking immune support ingredient IMMUSE™. Hosted by Natural Products Insider, the event emphasized the increasing consumer demand for science-backed strategies for year-round immune support.
IMMUSE™, developed by Kyowa Hakko USA, is a unique strain of lactic acid bacteria that has been heat-treated to create a postbiotic ingredient that is safe, stable, and versatile for formulating into various products such as beverages, powder mixes, tablets, and gummies. During the event, Danielle Citrolo, VP of Scientific and Regulatory Affairs at Kyowa Hakko USA, presented the extensive scientific research backing IMMUSE™ and its innovative approach to supporting immune health.
One of the key highlights of IMMUSE™ is its unique mechanism of action. Citrolo explained that most immune support ingredients fall into two categories: defensive or responsive. While defensive ingredients focus on enhancing the nutrition of immune cells to keep them healthy, responsive ingredients like IMMUSE™ proactively support the immune system, making it more responsive to invaders.
IMMUSE™ stands out for its ability to activate plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), considered the leaders of the immune system. These cells play a crucial role in coordinating a comprehensive immune response by recruiting and activating other immune cell types. Through its interaction with toll-like receptor 9, IMMUSE™ activates pDCs at a genetic level, leading to a more effective immune response.
The efficacy of IMMUSE™ is supported by 15 clinical studies demonstrating its safety and effectiveness. These studies have shown that IMMUSE™ can reduce the severity and duration of symptoms, improve physical condition, and reduce fatigue and upper respiratory symptoms in various populations, including healthy volunteers, school children, and athletes in training.
Kyowa Hakko USA is dedicated to working with customers to develop immune support claims based on the scientific evidence behind IMMUSE™. With its unique mechanism of action and extensive research backing its efficacy, IMMUSE™ is positioned as a leading ingredient in the functional immune health market.
Overall, the SupplySide Intensive featuring IMMUSE™ highlighted the growing importance of immune support ingredients that offer comprehensive and proactive solutions for maintaining optimal health and well-being. As consumers continue to prioritize immune health, innovative ingredients like IMMUSE™ are poised to make a significant impact in the health and wellness industry.
