FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Will PleuraMax Upper Respiratory Health* supplements still work if you take them with food?
PleuraMax and PleuraMax Extra Strength should be taken without food meaning on an empty stomach, a half hour before or two hours after eating. Pleuran supports your natural defenses by interacting with receptors on the surface of immune-activating Peyer’s patches in the small intestine. This works best when there is no digestion occurring at the same time.*
Will this upset my stomach?
It is not likely. While everyone responds differently to supplements, clinical studies—even in children—show that the pleuran in PleuraMax is incredibly well-tolerated and highly rated by participants in those studies.
How is pleuran different from other beta glucans?
Pleuran is a beta glucan unique to oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). Unlike beta glucans from other sources, the insoluble structure of pleuran means that it is not absorbed, but rather passes through the digestive system intact, and is recognized by receptors on immune cells in the small intestine called Peyer’s patches.*
Can I take PleuraMax Extra Strength daily?
Yes, it is perfectly fine for adults to take PleuraMax Extra Strength daily, but bear in mind that it is packaged for shortterm use. When you feel that your need for the extra-strength formula has passed, consider daily supplementation with our standard PleuraMax supplement.
Is this gluten free?
Yes.
How is pleuran obtained from oyster mushrooms?
Every mushroom is hand-harvested, with the stems separated from the caps. The caps are sent to restaurants so nothing is wasted. Meanwhile, the stems are kept cold to inhibit an enzyme called beta glucanase from breaking down and weakening the mushroom’s beneficial pleuran. Within 26 hours of harvest, the stems are washed, processed and dehydrated (without the use of toxic solvents) to isolate and concentrate the beneficial pleuran.
Why launch mushroom supplements? What is so unique about this particular mushroom?
Terry has been investigating the health-supporting properties of mushrooms for some time. However, this particular oyster mushroom pleuran impressed him the most. First, 25 years of research, 40 clinical studies with children and adults and 25 years of use around the world to back it up. Secondly, pleuran is unique to oyster mushrooms, and provides a safe and effective immune support option for children and adults.* Third, Terry himself found pleuran to be incredibly effective for his own use while traveling in Europe and wanted to share this discovery with people in the United States. Because we know that these mushroom supplements will deliver results, we chose to make PleuraMax and PleuraMax Extra Strength our first mushroom products.
What is the difference between PleuraMax and PleuraMax Extra Strength*?
While both formulas feature clinically studied pleuran, each supplement is distinct. PleuraMax provides 100 mg of pleuran per capsule plus 100 mg of vitamin C and can be taken daily by adults or children as young as four years of age.*
By contrast, PleuraMax Extra Strength features 300 mg of pleuran per capsule, plus 160 mg of vitamin C and 10 mg of zinc. It is recommended for adults and for acute immune support for a duration of five days.*
