Published study 1: Placebo controlled study monitoring healthy subjects ingesting either, the medicinal supplement MC-S or a placebo. The study was designed to evaluate the difference in the number of days experiencing symptoms of winter related illnesses such as colds, influenza or secondary infections between the two groups. A statistical analysis using Two-sample t-test with equal variances and the Mann-Whitney non-parametric test both produced a significant result.

Conclusion: the highly encouraging results demonstrate MC-S to be of use in reducing the incidence and duration of winter related illness.

Published study 2: The combining of natural immune enhancers to synergistically improve efficacy has a particular application in immune stimulation where a number of activation pathways are available. A newly developed dietary supplement called MC-S has utilised this principle to create a pharmaceutical grade product using known bioactive compounds from medicinal mushrooms and a herb. MC-S has been formulated using a pharmaceutical approach to natural therapies. To analyse if this preparation activates immune function, an in-vitro (scientifically) study of white blood cell development was undertaken at varying doses of MC-S.

Conclusion: This study does demonstrate that within a broad range of doses, MC-S significantly stimulates immune cell activity.

Published study 3: The immune stimulatory effects of the dietary supplement MC-S was evaluated in-vivo (Clinically) on healthy subjects, the immune enhancing effects of MC-S on subjects orally taking MC-S at concentrations of 1 tablet per 15 to 20 kg of body weight per day for a period of 2 months, demonstrated a positive increase in immune cell activity.

Conclusion: These results indicate that MC-S possesses significant positive immune stimulating properties.
