Immune Boost Synergy

Immune Boost Synergy

Tiger milk mushroom (Lignosus rhinocerus) and paraprobiotics from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum worked together to activate immune cells while balancing inflammation. The mushroom’s β-glucan reduced nitric oxide and proinflammatory signals (like TNF-α and IL-6) while boosting anti-inflammatory markers like IL-10 and TGF-β. When combined, the two ingredients produced a stronger immune response with less inflammation, showing promise for functional foods or immune-support formulas.
