Congaplex supports healthy immune system function* and the thymus gland.* It contains ribonucleic acid, which the body uses for protein synthesis.* Congaplex contains a combination of key ingredients from Cataplex® A-C, Thymex®, Calcium Lactate®, and Ribonucleic Acid (RNA). It’s an excellent source of antioxidant vitamin A. The chewable form is a good source of vitamin A and great-tasting with natural raspberry fruit powder.

Nutrient Support for a Healthy Immune System

Congaplex contains whole food-based ingredients such as organic alfalfa and buckwheat, along with ribonucleic acid (RNA) and antioxidant vitamin A. A daily dose of Congaplex also provides 18 mg of vitamin C (21% DV), 240 mg of calcium (18% DV), and 45 mg of magnesium (12%DV).

RNA

Dietary RNAs are broken down to nucleotides in the digestive system, which helps maintain a healthy pool of nucleotides available for making RNA.^1,2 RNA carries instructions from DNA for the synthesis of proteins.³

VITAMIN A

Vitamin A is essential for normal cell growth, differentiation, and communications. It is also involved in immune function such as by stimulating the growth and differentiation of natural killer cells, T and B lymphocytes.⁴

VITAMIN C

As another key contributor to a healthy immune system, vitamin C functions to support immune system defense through enhancing innate immune pathways, contributing to protective epithelial barriers, enhancing phagocytosis, and through supporting adaptive immunity by enhancing differentiation and proliferation of B- and T- lymphocytes.
