Immugen is an immune support supplement for dogs and cats.

Immugen's unique formula for small animals combines vitamins, minerals, amino acids, botanicals, and other nutrients for optimal immune system functioning and cellular health.

Each bottle contains 120 capsules.

Active Ingredients Per Capsule:

Vitamin C...175 mg.
Vitamin C helps in the production of collagen, promotes the healing of wounds and fractures, and strengthens blood vessels. It also enhances T-cell production which helps to fight off viral and bacterial infections and some allergies. Vitamin C is especially beneficial to animals with any type of chronic disease, infection allergy or dermatitis and may reduce the risk of certain cancers, heart disease and cataracts.

Dimethlglycine (DMG)…70 mg.

L-Glutamine…70 mg.

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC)…70 mg.
NAC is a precursor to glutathione, an important antioxidant. Glutathione slows down the aging process, helps reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, detoxifies the liver and supports the cardiovascular system.

Echinacea angustifolia (root)…50 mg.
Echinacea has been used extensively to stimulate the immune system to help fight viral and bacterial infections. It has also been used to heal wounds and skin problems and reduce inflammation.

Reishi Mushroom…50 mg.
Reishi mushrooms work as an anti-inflammatory and antihistamine to relieve respiratory ailments and allergy symptoms. They have been found to enhance immune modulators, which are important for fighting viral and bacterial infections and they also inhibit the growth of cancer cells.

Vitamin E...30 mg. (35 I.U.)
Vitamin E supplies oxygen to the blood, strengthens capillary walls and protects red blood cells. It brings nourishment to cells and helps to maintain healthy membrane tissue. Vitamin E is especially beneficial to aging animals and animals with heart disease, cancer and atopic dermatitis.

Astragalus membranaceus…25 mg.
Astragalus root has been used for thousands of years in China to strengthen the immune system. More recently, it has been found to suppress tumor growth and restore immune function compromised by tumor growth in cancer patients.

Thymus (Bovine)…25 mg.
The thymus is responsible for many immune system functions , including the product of T lymphocytes which help to protect against bacteria, fungi, parasites, viruses, cancer, allergies, dermatitis and immune disorders.

Coenzyme Q-10…20 mg.
CoQ-10 is a nutrient present in every cell of the body. As animals get older, the body's ability to make CoQ-10 diminishes so it is especially important to supplement this nutrient in senior pets. Co-Q10 strengthens the immune system, supports and protects the cardiovascular system and helps keep gums healthy. Helps to fight gingivitis, stomatitis and other oral diseases.

Pyridoxal 5’ Phosphate (Vitamin B6)…7 mg.

Vitamin A Palmitate ...5.6 mg. (1400 I.U.)
Vitamin A plays an important role in bone growth, tooth development, and reproduction. The skin, eyes and mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, throat and lungs depend on Vitamin A to remain moist.

Zinc (Picolinate)…3.5 mg.
Zinc is needed for enzyme reactions; cell replication, protein and carbohydrate metabolism, skin function and wound healing.A deficiency of zinc can lead to increased susceptibility to infection.

Mixed Carotenes (Vitamin A)...840 mcg (1400 I.U.)
Lycopene, the carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red color, is particularly effective at protecting cells and tissues from the damaging effects of oxidation. Lutein and zeaxanthin provide protection in the macular region of the eye. Mixed carotenoids may be beneficial to animals with cancer, cataracts, respiratory problems and allergies.

Copper (Picolinate)…350 mcg.
Copper assists in the formation of hemoglobin and red blood cells by aiding iron absorption. Copper helps form the cover which surrounds nerve fiber, and it works in conjunction with vitamin C to form elastin, the chief component of elastic muscle fibers throughout the body.

Folic Acid…200 mcg.

Manganese (Picolinate)…175 mcg.

Vitamin B12…100 mcg.

Selenium (Picolinate)…7 mcg.
Selenium protects cell membranes and slows down the aging and hardening of tissues due to oxidation. It is beneficial to animals suffering from cancer (and as a cancer preventative). Too much selenium can be toxic – always follow recommended dosage.

Inactive Ingredients: Hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, Leucine, Natural Bacon Flavoring, Silicon Dioxide
Contains ingredients derived from soy.

Each bottle contains 120 capsules.

Dosage for cats: 1/2 capsule daily
Dosage for dogs: 1 capsule for each 25 lbs. body weight.

NOTE:  Immugen capsules are large and may be difficult for cats to swallow.  Capsules can be opened and sprinkled on pet's food or mixed with water and adminstered using an oral dosage syringe.   We recommend introducing any new supplement slowly so that your pet gets used to the smell and/or taste.  Some of the ingredients in Immugen have a strong scent which some cats find objectionable.  Please keep this in mind when ordering Immugen as we cannot accept returns on opened items.  See Cell Advance 440 or Immunity and Liver Support  for an alternative supplement.

For use in dogs and cats only. 

Thorne is a member of the National Animal Supplements Council, an industry group that is committed to ensuring the highest standards of quality (in raw materials used) and consistency in the labeling of products.  Because Immugen contains selenium, the NASC requires that Thorne include a warning on their label - "Not for long term use."  Selenium can be toxic in large dosages but the amount in one capsule of Immugen is very little -- 7 micrograms.    Although there is no agreed upon dosage recommendation for selenium, many suggest that the therapeutic dose be roughly 1 - 2 micrograms per pound of body weight. So, for a 35 lb dog, you're looking at 35 - 70 mcg of selenium on a daily basis.

This saved our dog

Maurice - 10/27/2010

We have a dog that had skin disorders so bad her hair was coming out in clumps, and her skin was on fire. We tried all kinds of conventional treatments with very little success. We were on the verge of putting her down instead of watching her suffer. I was looking for different options when I discovered Holistic Pet site. I explained my problem, and was advised to try Immugen. Within a week of starting her on it, we saw a marked improvement, and today you would never know that there had been anything wrong with her. I have recommended it to all my pet lover friends and have even encouraged my vet to look into it for his patients with allergy and immune problems.

GREAT PRODUCT

Sue N. - 1/9/2010

I bought this for 12 year old cat that has inflammatory Bowel disease and I had him on many other meds and nothing was helping him.

I thought he was going to die, but after a month on Immugen he gained weight and maintained it, he is happier, his eating habits are back to normal and he back to his old self again.

I would highly recommend this product because unless you try something you never know if it is going to help or not.

I have learned over the years with many cats that have medical problems, you keep trying until you hopefully find something that works.
