Yamamoto® Research Imugen FORTE- Food supplement in liquid form based on juice and plant extracts, with zinc, vitamin D and vitamin C.

Yamamoto® Research Imugen FORTE is a food supplement in liquid form based on juice and plant extracts (rose hip, echinacea, elderberry and astragalus), with added zinc, vitamin D and vitamin C. Zinc, vitamin D and vitamin C contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Elder, echinacea and astragalus support the body's natural defences, while rose hip has a restorative and supportive effect, with antioxidant properties.

The use of natural remedies with recognised beneficial activity, which contribute to the normal function of the immune system, is a useful and effective action. Nature provides us with a number of natural remedies, recognised and validated for their supportive qualities by modern scientific research (and therefore not just approved by our 'grandmothers' or folk medicine).

Among these remedies, which have a long popular tradition in Europe, Elderberry is certainly worth highlighting. This plant, used in phytotherapy as a diaphoretic, anti-inflammatory and diuretic, has a composition rich in bioflavonoids and antioxidant substances. It is used to treat colds, fevers and respiratory diseases (such as asthma or bronchitis). Its properties are, in fact, officially recognised as 'active and effective'. (Health Ministerial Decree 27/03/14), in particular for supporting the body's natural defences.

The dog rose is a thorny shrub belonging to the Rosaceae family, which grows wild throughout Italy and Europe, and whose qualities have been known since the time of the Ancient Romans and the Middle Ages. The rose hip, also known as the wild rose, is known for its very high concentration of vitamin C (100 grams of its berries have the same ascorbic acid content as a kilo of oranges!). Its berries, seeds and stones contain other vitamins such as A, E, K and some B vitamins, as well as folic acid, valuable flavonoids, tannins, carotenoids and fatty acids (including oleic, palmitic, oleanolic, stearic and linoleic acids). Rose hip is also rich in minerals, particularly iron, zinc, copper, calcium, manganese, boron, sodium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. There is a valuable synergy between vitamin C and flavonoids, which promote and enhance the absorption of vitamin C itself.  Rose hip extract therefore has an immunomodulating, antioxidant and vitamin-boosting effect and is an adjuvant in flu syndromes.
Among the most commonly used natural remedies is Echinacea. A herbaceous plant from the Asteraceae family, which includes nine species, all with medicinal and ornamental characteristics (Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea pallida in primis). Native to North America, its use among local native populations is very ancient, dating back as far as the Cheyenne tribe. Its qualities derive from the density of the active principles it contains, which help the body's natural defences. These are flavonoids, caffeic acid derivatives such as cycloric acid, chlorogenic acid and echinacoside, polysaccharides, polyphenols, glycoproteins with immune-stimulating activity, alkylamides, polyenes and essential oil.

Astragalus is also a weapon of traditional oriental phytotherapy that has found increasing space and application among modern supplements to aid the body's natural defences. It is a plant belonging to the legume family, native to northern China, and has been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine as a tonic against weakness and to increase resistance to disease. Astragalus contains triterpene saponins, flavonoids, biogenic amines and polysaccharides, as well as amino acids, iron, zinc, copper, chromium, coumarins, choline, betaine, sitosterol, triterpene glycosides and numerous acids (folic, nicotinic, chlorogenic, caffeic, linolenic), making it undoubtedly a 'multifunctional' remedy. Today, it is considered to be an excellent supplement to be used to help the body's defences, thanks to its wealth of powerful bioactive elements.

The formulation of our supplement is also complemented, as listed above, by the presence of Vitamin D, C and zinc.

Vitamin D is a crucial substance for the health of our bones and immune system. It contributes to achieving and maintaining adequate bone mass, which is also essential for the prevention of osteoporosis and fractures in adults. Vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin that must necessarily be introduced through food. It participates in many metabolic reactions, raises the barriers of the immune system and helps the body to take general preventive action against the risk of contracting diseases. It is best known for its antioxidant power, which is essential for neutralising free radicals.

Zinc is a trace element, i.e. a mineral present in the body in small quantities. It is a component of hundreds of metabolic reactions and is required for the functioning of several hormones (cofactor). It is essential for a good immune response, wound healing and tissue repair. Studies have also shown that zinc intake helps to increase the level of T lymphocytes, thereby reducing the duration and severity of infections.
