Life Extension's Cytokine Suppress is an EGCG dietary supplement that contains two dietary ingredients known to support a healthy immune response: mung beans and green tea. Compounds in mung beans and green tea help regulate levels of a protein molecule known as HMGB1. This molecule is responsible for controlling cell communication compounds known as cytokines that cause normal physiological responses that cause injured tissue to heal. Mung bean seed coating extract has also been shown to support the body's own defense system. It is recommended to take 1 capsule a day without food, or follow a medical prescription. Keep out of the reach of children. Do not exceed recommended dose. When using nutritional supplements, check with your doctor if you are being treated for a medical condition or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Store in a cool, dry place.
