PALMYRA, Wis., Dec 07, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Every day our immune system does a balancing act to keep microscopic invaders at bay. But when the immune system is weakened, help is needed to conquer immune challenges. To help promote a healthy immune response, Standard Process proudly introduces Epimune Complex.

Epimune Complex is a vegetarian alternative that can be used by itself or in combination with other Standard Process immune support products. It powers up the immune system for long-term, overall support through a synergistic blend of mushrooms, vitamin C, minerals, and dried yeast fermentate. Epimune Complex supports respiratory health, helps activate and balance the immune system, and promotes healthy immune function and cellular health.*

Epimune Complex combines maitake (including MaitakeGold 404(R)**) and turkey tail mushroom powders and a derivative of dried, fermented brewer's yeast (EpiCor(R)***). This unique combination provides a host of nutrients to target different aspects of the immune system. Vitamin C is included to aid in a healthy immune response, calcium helps with proper functioning of white blood cells, and zinc supports the body's natural healing function.
