Last month, Scottsdale-based health and wellness company, Plexus Worldwide, received a patent from the United States Patent Office for its product Immune +. The patent protects the company’s formula to “support natural immunity and overall wellbeing,” according to a press release.
Based in Scottsdale since 2008, Plexus is an expert in gut health, providing science-backed wellness products. This patent further solidifies the company’s commitment to using innovative and effective methods for promoting good health. With this patent, customers can trust that they are receiving a high-quality product that has been thoroughly researched.

Plexus developed Immune + to support the body’s defense system. The plant-based supplement, developed by Plexus’s in-house research and development team, received a utility patent for the formula, which includes black rice extract, prebiotic mushrooms, ascorbic acid, and an antioxidant blend.
“We secured this patent by proving our unique ingredient combination activates cytokines to influence immune response,” said Vice President of Research and Development at Plexus Worldwide Dr. Michael Hartman, PhD. “Human cell studies showed the Superfood blend in Immune + enhances immune response by encouraging normal immune cell activity.”
The U.S. Patent Office specifically recognized the products’ method for improving immunity and upper respiratory health.
