Functions & features

What Immune Polys does

  • Immune activation
  • NK cell support
  • Anti-cancer activity
  • Inflammation balance

Immune Polys is produced by bioconversion of Citrus Hallabong grown on Jeju, concentrating the cell-wall polysaccharide rhamnogalacturonan (RG-II) that drives the ingredient's activity. The marker compound is used to standardize each batch.

Human clinical trial

Clinical results

+48.3%
Significant improvement in NK cell activity over 12 weeks (p < 0.05).
+63.6%
Enhancement of NK cytotoxicity, optimizing immune balance.

The trial was conducted at the Ilsan Hospital Health Center with 100 adult men and women, who consumed Immune Polys for 12 weeks. Safety was confirmed over the full 12 weeks of consumption.
