Epigenetics represent a new understanding of genetics. “Epi” (Latin for “Above”) refers to the fact that there is a mechanism “above” our DNA that can modify how DNA codes are expressed. Epigenetic “switches” can turn on or off certain DNA sequences. These epigenetic differences can be inherited along with our DNA.

The Immunocal Booster® contains two components:

• An Nrf2 catalyst™ to enhance both Glutathione and antioxidant action.
• A mixture of over 60 organic “Reds” and “Greens” which are phytonutrients (plant-based nutrients). This includes sulforaphane glucosinolate broccoli seed extract, beet root, organic oat fiber, organic rice hull concentrate, organic pea fiber, organic wheat grass (Triticum aestivum L.), organic blue agave inulin (Agave tequilana), organic blue green algae (spirulina), organic stevia leaf extract, organic barley grass, organic carrot, organic apple, organic kale, organic broccoli, organic spinach (Spinacia oleracea), organic parsley, organic green cabbage, organic blueberry, organic raspberry, organic strawberry, organic tomato, organic plum, organic orange peel, organic apple fiber, organic lemon peel, organic alfalfa grass, organic green tea leaf, organic chlorella, organic cherry, organic acai, organic pomegranate, organic banana, organic bilberry, organic goji berry, organic black currant, organic elderberry, organic grape, organic maqui (Aristotelia chilensis), organic pineapple, organic papaya, organic peach, organic blackberry, organic lemon, organic pear (Pyrus communis), organic sweet potato, organic cranberry, organic pumpkin, organic adzuki bean sprout, organic amaranth sprout (Amaranthus retroflexus), organic buckwheat sprout, organic chia sprout, organic flax sprout, organic garbanzo bean sprout, organic lentil bean sprout, organic millet sprout, organic pumpkin sprout, organic quinoa sprout (Chenopodium quinoa), organic sesame sprout, organic sunflower sprout, organic collard green, organic orange, organic dulse.

The Nrf2 gene is a gene (piece of DNA code) that enhances Glutathione and antioxidant metabolism.

The Nrf2 gene needs to be “switched on” to work.

An Nrf2 “activator” turns this switch on.

Sulforaphane is a highly studied and scientifically validated Nrf2 activator.

The sulforaphane in Immunocal Booster® comes from broccoli seeds.

In simplest terms, the Glutathione produced by Immunocal® and Immunocal Platinum® will be enhanced.

Not recommended. Cellular Glutathione production still requires the precursors (building blocks) found in Immunocal® and Immunocal Platinum®. Once produced by the cell, the Glutathione effect will be enhanced by Immunocal Booster®.

Yes! This is highly recommended. The Immunocal Booster® was designed specifically to enhance the effects of Immunocal® and Immunocal Platinum®.

Certainly. It has its own independent health benefits as well.

Selenium is an essential trace nutrient mineral. Its major role is its integration into the important enzyme called “Glutathione Peroxidase”.

Glutathione Peroxidase is a critical antioxidant enzyme produced by our body.

The term “Reds” and “Greens” signify the fact that the nutrients come either from fruits or vegetables respectively.

Being plant-based substances, these contain a multitude of nutrients including polyphenols, antioxidants, and many other phytonutrients. There are dozens of fruits, vegetables and herbs that go into the Reds and Greens mixture, each with their own specific benefits.

No. Fresh produce is always our best source of nutrients. However, many individuals fall short of their daily fruit and vegetable serving requirements. The Reds and Greens become more important in this situation.

They are nutrients derived from plants which are believed to be beneficial to human health.

Polyphenols are phytonutrients with benefits that include antioxidation, inflammation reduction, supporting bone mineral density and other benefits beyond the scope of this Q&A. Recently popularized, polyphenols can be found in red wine, dark chocolate and diverse brightly-coloured fruits and vegetables.

The Reds and Greens are from natural sources that normally contain some insoluble fiber.

One per day is the suggested dose. Taking more than one is not necessary.

No. The sweet flavour comes from the natural fruits used as well as stevia. Stevia has been linked to numerous benefits, including lower blood sugar levels.

Yes. The Reds and Greens are organic certified.

Yes, the Immunocal Booster® is gluten-free.

Yes, the Immunocal Booster® is vegan.
