Here at Nurish we have a love affair with pumpkin. We’d consider ourselves a bit#pumpkinobsessed. In fact we believe there is no wrong time of year to indulge in this filling and nutritious fruit. It simultaneously satisfies cravings without derailing your healthy eating plan.
We decided to add our ‘nurishing’ Line of Defense product in the healthy recipe. Now you get delicious and healthy pumpkin muffins with powerful immune boosting benefits. It’s a truly delicious win win!

What is Beta Glucan + How Does it Boost Your Immune System?
Line of Defense works by using beta glucan to attach to certain immune system receptors. Once attached, the beta glucan activates or enhances their readiness to fight off foreign invaders to the body such as cancerous cells. It really is that simple.
