inflammation, particularly from its immune-boosting polysachharides.
The polysachharides would stimulate the work of
macrophages, which is the white blood cells of immune
system serving to fight against viruses. The existence of
anti-oxidants also support this function so the immune system could be
stronger more and more. As a consequence, the body would not easily loose the
