1. Is Immune-Assist™ a drug?

No, Immune-Assist™ is a dietary supplement, intended as an immune system enhancer for people facing serious health challenges

2. Can Immune-Assist™ be used by Everyone?

Yes, Immune-Assist™ is safe and natural. It can be used as a daily supplement by anyone wanting a stronger immune system and a healthier lifestyle.

3. What about Cancer Patients? I have heard that Immune-Assist™ is being used by people with Cancer to help offset the side effects of Chemo-therapy and Radiation. Is it helpful for this?

Immune-Assist™ is a dietary supplement only and despite of what you may have heard on the TV, radio or read in the medical journals Immune-Assist™ is not being promoted as a Cancer treatment. Regardless of how Immune-Assist is being used in other countries, in America, there are strong federal laws (FDA) which prohibit a manufacturer from even suggesting that Immune-Assist™ may be a helpful supplement for people undergoing cancer treatment. Cancer is a serious disease and if you wish to add Immune-Assist™ to your treatment, you should discuss it with your doctor. We will be glad to provide your doctor with all of our research.

4. Is Immune-Assist made in America?

Yes, Immune-Assist™ is made in America, using only USDA Certified Organic materials. This is the Only product of it's kind which is made in America. All the others medicinal mushroom derived immune supplements are imported from the Orient. While we have nothing against imported Chinese or Japanese supplements, wouldn't you rather have an all organic, certified American Made product?

5. I see other companies claiming that their products are made from hot water extracted mushrooms. Is Immune-Assist™ made from hot water extracts?

There are some companies selling their products on the internet which would have you believe there is a special process called "Hot Water Extraction". This is a great marketing claim, but really, the term "Hot Water Extract" is the same as saying 'mushroom tea'. Immune-Assist™ is made by a far more complex proprietary process than just a simple hot water extract. While the purification process used with Immune-Assist™ does starts with a hot water extraction, we then takes it through several further steps to seperate, concentrate and purify the bioactive polysaccharide compounds, which are then dried, analyzed for purity, and finally, encapsulated. It takes over 250 pounds of six different types of fresh medicinal mushrooms to make 1 pound of finished Immune-Assist™. The finished Immune-Assist™ contains more than 200 different types of clinically-proven polysaccharide immune modulators.

6. What about Arabinoxylane, the compound that is found in MGN3? Does Immune-Assist™ contain this polysaccharide?

Yes. Immune-Assist™ contains not only Arabinoxylane, but also Lentinan, Grifolan (Dr. Nanba's original Maitake D-Fraction), PSK and PSP, and Active Hemicellulose Correlated Compound (AHCC). There is about three times more Arabinoxylane in each dose of Immune-Assist™ than there is in MGN3, and four times more AHCC than in the leading brand!

7. I see so many supplements that make claims based upon test tube studies or animal trials. Has Immune-Assist™ been clinically tested on humans, and is it patented or otherwise unique?

Yes. Immune-Assist™ is a completely unique and new type of dietary supplement. It has been tested in a number of different Clinical Trials. It has been tested as an adjunct to conventional therapy for cancer, for Hepatits B, for Alcoholic liver disease and it is presently being tested for HIV and for Hepatits C. The results have been amazingly positive in each one of these studies. You can view some of these clinical trial results here on the Aloha Medicinals website. Furthermore, there are U.S. and International patents pending on Immune-Assist™.

8. I see there are some websites talking about the "new" MGN-3, Bio-Bran. Is Immune-Assist™ made from bran like MGN-3 is?

Yes and no. Immune-Assist™ is similar to MGN-3 and AHCC in that it is formulated through an enzymatically activated process whereby complex cross-linked polysaccharides from vegetable sources are converted to biologically active immunomodulators composed of simpler sugars such as arabinose and xylose. This is what MGN-3 is, a combination of these two sugars in chain formation, called Arabinoxylane. Immune-Assist™ does contains simple polysaccharides like Arabinoxylane, but it also contains much more complex polysaccharides like the cross-linked beta mannans and beta-glucans, as well as hetero-polysaccharides which combine both alpha- and beta- bound monosaccharides into the same molecule. These complex polysaccharide compounds are not found in the earlier bran-based supplements like MGN-3 and AHCC. This is probably why Immune-Assist™ shows such a greater range of immuno-modulation bioactivity than MGN-3 and other bran based supplements
