| RM-10 is a combination of 10 tonic mushrooms, balanced with Aloe Vera and the herb Uncaria tomentosa (Cat's claw). Cat's claw has been traditionally used by Peruvian culture for centuries and science has now validated its antioxidant effect.* Select ingredients are produced through the Garden of Life proprietary Poten-Zyme process to make the nutrients more available to the body. What's in RM-10? RM-10 is a unique blend of tonic mushrooms and herbs. The blend includes: Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), Cordyceps sinensis, Trametes versicolor, Lentinula edodes (Shiitake), Agaricus blazei, Hericium erinaceus, Poria cocos, Tremella fuciformus, Polyporus umbellatus, Grifola frondosa (Maitake), Aloe Vera , Uncaria tomentosa What makes RM-10 better than other immune support formulas? Unlike other formulas that focus on a single compound, RM-10 uses a multi-compound approach. In addition, our propriety Poten-Zyme fermentation process assists in nutrient absorption and delivery. What research is available for RM-10 in relation to the immune system? Although we often refer to it as a "system," the immune system is actually a collection of cells that "communicate" to one another through release of cytokines (chemical transmitters) and cell-to-cell interaction. When the attention of your immune system is required, immune cells (often in the gut) signal the rest of the body to either mobilize or downregulate certain immune resources. An in vitro study was conducted on RM-10 to determine its affect on isolated immune cells. This study showed that RM-10 had an affect on certain Cytokines (immune system messengers) and NK (natural killer) cells at low concentrations suggesting the presence of highly active components.** **RM-10 has not been studied in humans, and in vitro studies provide only background information on the affect of a substance on the body. Controlled human studies would need to be conducted to confirm these results. |
