Immun-ALK

American Nutriceuticals Immun-ALK Clinical Strength Herbal Dietary Supplement Alkylglycerols derived from purified, specially processed shark liver oil. Modulates immune response The immune system is your body’s natural defense against both external and internal challenges. Research shows that alkylglycerols help activate immune cells like macrophages and neutrophils, which play a critical role in supporting healthy immune function. Importantly, Immune-ALK is not an immune booster — it’s an immune modulator. This means it helps balance your immune response, activating it when needed and calming it when necessary. For those with stressed immune systems, maintaining a balanced immune response is essential to avoid overstimulation. Aids in toxin elimination Every day, your body works to eliminate harmful toxins and pollutants. These include heavy metals like mercury, which can accumulate in tissues over time and pose risks to overall health. Unpublished data suggest that alkylglycerols from shark liver oil help detoxify the body of mercury. Supports cellular health Healthy cells need flexible membranes to efficiently take in nutrients and oxygen while expelling waste products and toxins. A flexible, permeable membrane is also less likely to rupture and better equipped to handle physical and environmental stress. Researchers speculate that alkylglycerols from shark liver oil promote cell membrane flexibility, thereby helping cells optimize nutrient exchange and better withstand stress-related damage. Promotes signal transmission Your body is made up of trillions of cells, all working together to respond to changes and challenges. They communicate by sending signals — chemical messages that tell cells what to do and when. Research suggests that alkylglycerols from shark liver oil may support this process by integrating into cell membranes, helping them stay flexible and responsive. That means cells can “talk” to each other more easily, helping your body effectively respond to whatever comes its way. Protects cells and tissues Oxidative stress occurs when there’s an imbalance between harmful free radicals and the body’s ability to neutralize them with antioxidants. It can result from everyday factors like environmental pollution, UV radiation, poor diet, and stress. Oxidative stress can damage cells over time, decreasing their function. Research indicates that shark liver oil alkylglycerols increase antioxidant activity, protecting cells and tissues from oxidative damage. Helps the body respond to stress Stress can impact the body in many ways, from physical fatigue to weakened immune defenses. Pre-clinical research has shown that alkylglycerols support healthy adrenal gland activity, helping the body better manage and recover from physical stress.

Shark liver oil has a long history of traditional use by Scandinavian fishermen, who relied on the golden oil to keep their immune systems hearty in the face of frigid waters, fierce storms, and brutal Nordic winters. In 1922, two Japanese doctors — Dr. Tsujimoto and Dr. Toyama — unlocked the secret to shark liver oil’s efficacy: alkylglycerols. Decades of research have shown that these special compounds possess the unique ability to modulate immune function and aid detoxification, supporting overall wellness. Immune-ALKTM captures the power of alkylglycerols, using sustainably sourced shark liver oil that’s carefully purified to eliminate heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants. What Are Alkylglycerols? Alkylglycerols are a unique type of fat known as ether lipids, naturally found in human bone marrow, liver, spleen, and breast milk. Their distinct chemical structure makes them more stable than most fats, allowing them to persist longer in tissues that are constantly renewing, like blood cells, and to easily integrate into cell membranes. Shark liver oil is one of the richest sources of alkylglycerols in nature. These special lipids also occur in other marine animals such as stingrays and chimera. Why Choose Immune-ALK? Standardized actives. The immune-modulating and detoxifying properties of shark liver oil come from its natural concentration of alkylglycerols. Immune-ALK is standardized to contain 20% alkylglycerols, ensuring a consistent 100 mg-dose in every soft gel. Safe and pure. As apex predators, sharks naturally bioaccumulate toxins from the ocean. That’s why Immune-ALK is specially processed to eliminate heavy metals, pesticides, and other contaminants. This process also removes unwanted fats such as cholesterol, squalene, and excess vitamins A and D, which can be toxic in large amounts. Ethically harvested. For decades, shark livers were a discarded byproduct of the commercial fishing industry. Immune-ALK captures the value of this once-overlooked resource, sourcing oil from non-endangered species and promoting a more sustainable use of marine resources.
