BIOGENA SPORTS - Immunity
Get off to a flying start with immune training companions
Sport does a lot for the body and is good for the immune system. After intensive training sessions, the immune system's defense function may be temporarily impaired. Athletes know this as the "open window" effect, a normal biological phenomenon. A balanced and varied diet is the basis for maintaining good health. If this falls short during intensive training periods, the body's own defenses can be supported with targeted nutritional supplements and the supply of relevant micronutrients can be ensured. After all, reliable partners for the immune system are essential in times of sporting challenges.
In order to meet these high requirements, the sophisticated formula of BIOGENA SPORTS Immunity combines the best of East and West: it combines traditional medicinal mushrooms with valuable plant extracts and the micronutrient classics vitamins A, C and D, zinc and selenium.
Vitamins A and C and the minerals zinc and selenium support the normal function of the immune system. The power substance vitamin D is also important for our immune system. Studies have also shown that a good supply of vitamin D supports muscle function - a benefit for athletes that should not be neglected.
The medicinal mushrooms reishi, cordyceps and shiitake have a tradition going back more than a thousand years and are highly valued in Chinese teachings. Selected plant substances ideally round off Biogena Sports Immunity: extracts of black garlic, curcuma, echinacea, black pepper and elderberry give the preparation the power of nature. Black garlic is fermented white garlic, which contains more S-allyl cysteine than white garlic. The trio of curcuma, echinacea and black garlic in particular complement each other perfectly. Curcuma and black garlic support the body's own defense mechanisms. The echinacea root extract is obtained by gentle water extraction from the root of the famous Echinacea pallida plant. The formula is rounded off with quercetin in the form of Quercefit®.

All-in-one boost for the immune system of athletes
Sport and regular exercise strengthen the body's defences, making you less susceptible to bacteria, viruses and infections. However, intensive training can lead to the body being overloaded, which weakens the immune system for a short time and reduces resistance. This opens a ‘window’ for pathogens. This is also known as the ‘open window effect’. According to this, athletes sometimes have a higher risk of becoming ill than less active people. This is precisely why a good supply of vitamins and minerals is so important to strengthen the immune system as an athlete.
BIOGENA SPORTS Immunity boosts the body with a complex of vitamins A, C, D and the trace elements zinc and selenium. It also contains the medicinal mushrooms reishi, cordyceps and shiitake to give the immune system an additional boost. In traditional Chinese medicine, they are regarded as natural tonics. The trio of black pepper, curcuma and echinacea also provides a real immune boost. At BIOGENA, we are particularly concerned about the quality, tolerability and purity of our products - which is why our BIOGENA SPORTS Immunity is on the Cologne List®, an initiative for doping prevention.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification. The quality-tested raw materials come from premium brand raw material manufacturers - sourced directly from the world market leaders.
