BRM4� is the manufacturer's brand name for a nutritional supplement that contains the active ingredient, MGN-3 Arabinoxylan compound (patented and manufactured exclusively by the Daiwa Pharmaceutical Co. of Japan since 1990).
This product is generically known as MGN-3 Arabinoxylan compound or MGN-3.
BRM4 uses powerful enzymes from the Shiitake mushroom to break up long-chain rice bran into short chain hemicellulose compounds. These compounds seem to have a powerful immunomodulatory effect.
BioBran has been successfully taken by hundreds of thousands of individuals worldwide who have wanted to enhance their immune systems, establishing itself as the most effective immune system supplement available worldwide.
It has been clinically proven to triple Natural Killer (NK) cell activity, to increase B and T cell counts and to enhance production of several cytokines, including interferon gamma, IL-2 and IL-12.
In long term follow-up studies, Natural Killer (NK) cell activity was maintained as long as BioBran was continued. No other supplements - not even those with multiple ingredients - has ever approached the performance of this patented Arabinoxylan Compound.
p.s. I wonder if this is like AHCC. That also increases the activity of the natural killer cells. Several years ago I took AHCC for two months, but did not notice any changes in my symptoms.
This product has great reviews, as do the other brands of AHCC. If you have cancer, this is something you definitely want to look into.
Of course, rather than rely on reviews by other people using it, you should look up the studies for a product. You'll have better background information to decide if you want to try it.
