| Frequently Asked Questions - Immune Health:
1. What is i26®? i26® is an all-natural egg powder made from special hyperimmune eggs. These eggs have been harvested from hens exposed to special immune factors known to have a positive impact on human and animal health. Vitamins are important for nutritional support and indirectly help the immune system. However, i26® goes Beyond Nutrition to directly impact the immune system by keeping it healthy, balanced and functioning at optimal performance. It is not a vitamin, mineral or herb. It is in a class all its own. No. i26® does not artificially “boost” the immune system as some products suggest. It helps the immune system achieve optimal performance. There is a scientific website available for the generic polyvalent hyperimmune egg product (www.HyperimmuneEgg.org) – which Legacy has branded as i26®. Details also appear in the Physicians’ Desk Reference for Non-Prescription Drugs, Dietary Supplements and Herbs™, and there are several articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Plus, the product is supported by numerous worldwide patents, both pending and granted. Products claiming to have transfer factors also claim to “boost” the immune system, which is not a good idea for anyone with an overactive immune system. These sorts of products come from chemical extracts of white blood cells and tend to “force” the body into one direction or another. i26® is pure egg powder and helps the body to heal itself naturally by restoring balance to the immune system. Also, the published research on i26® was conducted with the same product that you and I consume each day, not some other company’s laboratory product. For a complete comparison of i26®, contact Legacy Customer Service. A wide variety of colorful phytonutrient-rich fruits and vegetables are important for our health. Whole fruits and vegetables are the best way to get these phytonutrients (and their accompanying fiber). However, less healthy extracts or concentrates of fruits and vegetables are often more convenient. Nutrients of all kinds, especially phytonutrients, indirectly affect immune health. However, only i26® goes Beyond Nutrition to help the body directly support immune function. To maintain optimal health, you should eat whole fruits and vegetables each day in addition to your regular daily consumption of i26®. 7. How many servings of i26® are best? The majority of individuals we hear from report that with two servings a day they start to experience major quality of life changes. However, over the years, many have told us that consuming three or more servings works best for them. Since we are all affected differently by external and internal stressors, the exact number of servings for each individual may vary. Try two servings a day and see what works best for you. One servings of i26® (4.5 grams) can be found in the following items: 9. What is the best way to make i26® or other Legacy products part of my daily diet? Before beginning an i26® regimen, it is suggested that you temporarily refrain from other supplements and herbs (except for those containing only vitamins). Then, begin by consuming ¼ of a serving every day 3-4 days. Increase to ½ of a serving every day for 3-4 days, then a whole serving for 3-4 days. Finally, add a second scoop of i26® and see how you are feeling. i26® is like a buffet where the body can select what it needs to support and optimize immune function. Daily consumption of i26® helps the body maintain and support healthy: The hyperimmune eggs that are used for production of i26® come from specially selected hens that have been exposed to more than 26 different types of non-threatening pathogens originally of human origin. 13. Can’t I just eat regular eggs and get the same benefits found in i26®? Supermarket eggs are from hens that have only been exposed to other hens, not to organisms of human interest. You may benefit from these eggs if you are willing to eat 30-40 each day. Only medications can be FDA approved. Dietary supplements like vitamins and i26® are not within their approval jurisdiction. However, if a product presents an unreasonable risk (e.g., ephedra, ma-huang, etc.), the FDA will investigate and prohibit sales. 15. Should I stop my prescription drugs when starting i26®? Absolutely not. Never change or stop your prescribed medications without first consulting your doctor. Medications do not interfere with i26® and vice versa. i26® is pure egg. There is no whey, gluten or products other than egg in i26®. Typically, within 4-9 days of consuming at least two servings per day individuals report experiencing changes in their energy levels and feelings well-being. i26® is pure egg. If you can eat eggs, you can consume i26®. Each serving (4.5 grams) of i26® is equivalent to 1/3 of an egg. People have consumed up to 15 servings a day for months without experiencing any ill effects. Typically, people feel best when they consume two servings per day. Listen to your body. Our energy levels are a window into our body. As we start to balance, our energy increases. If you’ve experienced a change in your energy and feelings of well-being, you are probably consuming the right amount. During times of increased internal or external stress, when you feel “under the weather” or not your regular self, your immune system is working even harder. You may wish to increase the number of servings you are consuming to help return to homeostasis or balance. 21. How much i26® should I give my child? Legacy Power Chews are a great way to provide kids with both i26® and vitamin supplementation. Serving size will vary with age though, so refer to the directions on the bottle. If using pure i26® powder, start with 1/8 of a serving for several days, then ¼. If you desire more, then gradually increase to ½ of a serving, ¾ of a serving and finally a full scoop. See how your child focuses their energy to decide what amount is appropriate. Yes. If you can eat eggs, then you can consume i26®. Many women have used i26® before, during and after their pregnancy and their babies are doing great! Of course, as with any diet changes during pregnancy, you should first consult your health professional. 23. I just started taking i26® and I’m not feeling well. What did I do wrong? You may have started out too quickly, not giving your body a chance to re-balance naturally. Try stopping the product. When you feel better begin again gradually, consuming ¼ of a serving for 3-4 days, then ½ of a serving for 3-4 days and finally a full scoop. Most people report significant changes in their quality of life when consuming two to three servings per day. The science suggests that for most of the population, the contribution of dietary cholesterol (meaning that which you consume in your diet) to cholesterol levels in the blood is minimal. One would need to consume 15 servings of i26® to get the amount of cholesterol in a single egg. (Additionally, a double-blind placebo controlled study, partially funded by the U. S. Army Nutrition Division, demonstated that cholesterol levels were not raised in subjects on i26®, in fact cardiovascular health was supported.) Remember, when your immune system is balanced, cholesterol levels are balanced. i26® helps your body maintain healthy cholesterol levels. 25. What supplements can I take along with i26®? It is recommended that you start with a “clean slate”. It’s best not to take any non-Legacy products like herbs, animal or plant extracts when you are starting i26®. You may incorporate them later, one at a time, when you know how much i26® makes you feel best. No, you will not become tolerant or dependent. When you consume i26®, you simply provide the body with a buffet of products that help support immune function. These immune products remain in the body for only a few days. COMPLETE support has only eight grams of sugar per scoop, much less than a typical bowl of cereal. Many people with diabetes find that consuming i26® even helps their quality of life. Just start gradually and monitor your glucose levels to make sure you are not re-balancing too rapidly. i26® does not cure, treat or prevent. However, an optimized immune system will make a difference in your quality of life. Start gradually, consuming one scoop each day. Slowly increase to 3-4 scoops per day and see how you feel. i26® is pure egg. If you can eat eggs then you can consume i26®. i26® does not “boost” immune function. It optimizes it. As a transplant patient though, it is essential that you check with your doctor before adding any supplements into your diet. Taking enzymes while consuming i26® may destroy some of the immune components and other proteins found in the product. However, you can take enzymes 4-6 hours after your i26®. For example, use i26® during the morning hours and if you think the enzymes are still necessary after balancing your digestive tract with i26®, use them at your evening meal.
