What is Larch Arabinogalactan? It is a natural biopolymer, a prebiotic starch-like fiber for GI and immune support found in many plants. We source the highest quality arabinogalactan derived from the bark of Larch trees. It is produced by steam-heating larch wood chips to extract the phenolic and arabinogalactan compounds and then drying the resulting extract. This extraction method requires no harsh chemicals to release the compounds from the wood matrix, and it means the product remains pure and is structurally unaltered post-extraction. Larch arabinogalactans possess important immune-enhancing properties and are an excellent source of prebiotic fiber.
What are the Immunity benefits of Larch Arabinogalactan? Common cold infections are both a health problem and economic problem in Western countries, hence, it is important to develop supportive solutions. Recent human studies have demonstrated that dietary intervention with arabinogalactan from North American Larix species could increase resistance to infections. Larch arabinogalactan seems to positively influence NK cells, macrophage activities and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. A clinical study demonstrated that larch arabinogalactan supplementation reduced the incidence of common cold infections. In two vaccine models (Streptococcus pneumoniae and tetanus), larch arabinogalactan had an immunostimulatory effect. Therefore, these results suggest a role for larch arabinogalactan in the improvement of immune system and defense against pathogens in humans. It is interesting to note that both models (infection and vaccine) are considered relevant by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to substantiate health claims on immune system in the frame of European regulation (EC) 1924/2006 on nutrition and health claims [59, 60].
To explain the mode of action, it has been suggested that it can interact with the immune system either indirectly through the production of SCFAs that affect inflammatory responses via leukocytes function and cytokine production, or directly through the capacity of M-cells to transfer intact arabinogalactan through the intestinal barrier, delivering it to immune cells (APC). However, the exact mode of action is not yet completely understood and further studies are required to better understand it and define more precisely the benefits of larch arabinogalactan to the immune system.

Why are the colors of the beverages not so bright? Body Intelligence beverages contain no artificial colors, no artificial flavors and no preservatives. Other beverages that have a brighter hue are colored with something, perhaps artificial, (bad) or maybe a fruit juice, (good) to add color. We choose to be pure.
What are Adaptogens, and what is Organic Ashwagandha? Adaptogens are nontoxic, natural plants that have a stress-reducing effect on the body, they theoretically “adapt” to what your body needs and help protect against various stressors. In addition to helping your body manage stress, Ashwagandha is said to provide numerous other benefits for your body and brain. For example, it can boost brain function, lower blood sugar and cortisol levels, boost energy, improve concentration, and help fight symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Ashwagandha may improve body composition, increase strength and for men it may also boost testosterone and increase fertility.
