A polysaccharide and an excellent source of dietary fiber that is FDA approved, larch increases the production of short-chain fatty acids in the gut, specifically butyrate and propionate. Larch has anti-inflammatory properties and also stimulates natural killer (NK) cells of the immune system.<\/p>\n<p>In each of the following studies, Larch helped the immune system fight off certain infections. A 1999 study in Alternative Medicine Review\u00a0discussed evidence that larch could stimulate natural NK cells, enhance the immune system, and help control chronic viral infections. \u00a0A 2010 study in Nutrition Journal\u00a0evaluated the immune system\u2019s response to certain vaccines when supplemented with larch extract. The double-blind placebo-controlled study included 45 healthy adults \u2014 half took larch while the other half took a placebo (sugar pill) before they were given the pneumonia vaccine (pneumococcal 23). Those who were given the Larch showed a stronger immune system compared to those who didn\u2019t take the supplement. A 2013 study\u00a0also found a similar immune response to the tetanus vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, a 2013 study\u00a0evaluated 199 healthy participants who self-reported at least 3 colds in the prior 6 month period. 100 received Larch while 99 were given a placebo. The results showed that those who were given Larch arabinogalactan had less cold infections compared to those who took the placebo. Those who were on the Larch also had a significantly better IgG antibody response suggesting more protection than those who were given the placebo.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a 2016 study\u00a0demonstrated that LA could enhance the immune system by positively influencing the gut microbiome, specifically the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). The study went on to report that LA decreased the incidence of cold episodes by 23%.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u200c\u200c<a id=\"maitake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>\u200c\u200cMaitake Mushroom (Grifola frondosa)\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iherb.com\/c\/maitake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grifola frondosa<\/a>, or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iherb.com\/c\/maitake\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">maitake mushroom<\/a>, is a popular edible mushroom.

Candida albicans is a pathogenic yeast that is found on the skin and in the human gut.<\/p>\n<p>In a different study, 150 plant extracts, including olive leaf extract, were analyzed for antiviral activity. The findings\u00a0showed that olive leaf extract also had a strong ability to kill viruses and may be useful in the treatment of infections caused by viruses.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, a 2017 study in the Journal of Food Medicine\u00a0showed olive leaf extract to have antibacterial properties.
