Just in Time For Cold Weather – First-of-its-Kind Daily
 Supplement Helps Optimize Your Immune System

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – (October 23, 2006) – According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, there are an estimated one billion cases of the common cold annually, and as many as 20 percent of Americans contract influenza each year. As many people know, and science has proven, the immune system plays a crucial role in providing protection against the effects of bacteria and viruses. 

First-of-its-Kind
ImmunExtra™ is the first supplement that contains ProLigna™, a patented botanical compound developed from pine cone extract. For hundreds of years the Japanese have used pine cones as a natural remedy. 

ProLigna™ was developed at the Tampa Bay Research Institute. For the past 15 years, Dr. Akiko Tanaka, a renowned scientist, has led the team that discovered ProLigna™. Her interest in this ingredient was a result of growing up in Japan where she saw pine cone extract used by her family and community. The Tampa Bay Research Institute is known as being Florida’s first independent biomedical research institute and has trained more than 80 doctoral and post-doctoral scientists. 

“We are pleased to bring ImmunExtra™ to market just in time for winter,” said Frank Tufaro, Ph.D., CEO of Allera Health Products, Inc. “ImmunExtra™ optimizes immune system activity and can be taken everyday. It is the next generation supplement for the immune system.” 

Consumer interest in nutritional supplements is widespread; approximately 85 percent of the general population used some type of nutritional supplement in the past year, and more than 59 percent used them on a daily basis, according to a study by the Natural Marketing Institute. ProLigna™ is a new compound that is exclusive to ImmunExtra™.
