NKMAX Observes Immune Recovery in Cancer Patients with Health Supplement 'NK365'

NKMAX's multivitamin and mineral complex containing Agaricus powder (NK365) has been found to help immune recovery by enhancing natural killer (NK) cell activity after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

NKMAX announced on the 22nd that at the ‘Asia Pacific Society of Respirology (APSR 2023)’ held in Singapore from the 16th to the 19th, research teams led by Professor Seunghyun Lee of Kyung Hee University Hospital and Professor Joon Ji Won of Seoul Asan Medical Center presented preliminary research results on 'The effect of multivitamin and mineral complex on NK cell activity in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent surgery.'

This study was a joint research conducted at Kyung Hee University Hospital and Seoul Asan Medical Center, involving a total of 66 patients with stage 1 to 3 non-small cell lung cancer. The experimental group (32 patients) took NK365 twice daily for 28 days after surgical operation, while the control group (34 patients) took a placebo in the same manner.

All clinical subjects had their NK cell activity measured three times?before surgery, immediately after surgery (1-3 days), and 30 days post-surgery?using the NK Vue® kit, and immune cells were analyzed through flow cytometry. The results showed that immune system recovery damaged by surgery tended to be better in the experimental group taking NK365. In particular, when comparing NK cell activity immediately after surgery and 30 days post-surgery, the increase in NK cell activity in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, and a smaller decrease in immune cell populations was observed.

Professor Seunghyun Lee of Kyung Hee University Hospital, the principal investigator, stated, "Generally, cancer patients have lower NK cell activity compared to healthy individuals, and immunosuppression including reduced NK cell activity occurs after cancer resection surgery. This can cause complications, infections, and recurrence after surgery, making immune system recovery crucial during the postoperative recovery process."

An NKMAX representative explained, "NK cell activity was enhanced in the experimental group taking NK365, suggesting that NK365 may help overall immune recovery in patients after surgery." NK365 is a health functional food developed as a solution for people with low immune levels when measuring NK cell activity, containing multivitamins, minerals, and a high concentration of high-quality organic Agaricus mushrooms cultivated in the United States.

Park Sangwoo, CEO of NKMAX, emphasized, "NK365 is a product developed by selecting Agaricus mushrooms under strict standards. Through this clinical study, we have proven the powerful immune-enhancing effects of Agaricus mushrooms. We will firmly establish our position as a global bio company providing all solutions from immune diagnostics to treatment by expanding our product lineup in the future."
