Manufacturers Comments: The Possible Benefits of Russian Choice Immune, a Dietary Supplement
• May support the local immune response of the GI tract
• May stimulate and support both the innate and adaptive overall immune system responses

Russian Choice Immune is a preparation of cell-wall fragments made from a specific strain of lactobacillus, first identified in the
1980s by Russian researchers as Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp bulgaricus.
More precise modern technology has allowed us to identify it as a particular strain of Lactobacillus rhamnosus. Probiotic bacteria are known to stimulate both the innate and adaptive immune systems, and recently some scientists have begun calling them ‘immunobiotics’.

The evolution of the product that is now Russian Choice Immune began when
Bulgarian researchers found strains of lactobacilli capable of effectively stimulating both cellular and humoral immunity.  Later in the 1980s, Russian researchers discovered the immune-enhancing properties of certain lactobacillus species. Taking note of the folk lore regarding the immunestimulating
properties of cultured milk products, Russian microbiologists
discovered species of Lactobacillus bulgaricus with these properties.

The researchers then looked for ways to enhance this immune activity, and
discovered that if they lysed (broke apart) the lactobacilli, the resulting cell walls and cell wall fractions were much more powerful
than the cultured milk products.  They perfected the process of breaking the
lactobacillus cell walls, ultimately producing uniquely potent products containing these cell wall fragments.  When the Russian
Choice Immune immunobiotic lactobacilli are lysed, the immune-active proteins that are usually sequestered inside the cells have unimpeded access to trigger and magnify the immune system response.

Although probiotics and cultured milk products have immune supporting properties, Russian Choice Immune is a much more powerful immune system stimulator.

Following in this tradition, NutriCology® now offers Russian Choice Immune. These lactobacillus cell-wall fragment materials have been used for
twenty years in Russia and over five years in the USA, and shown to be generally safe, even at high doses of up to 15 grams per day.
