Consumed orally, the capsule is taken up in the body by Peyer’s Patches in the intestines. Immune cells called macrophages (located in the Peyer’s Patches) ingest the purified bioactive Beta -1, 3/1 , 6 Glucan and travel to the immune organs throughout the body. Macrophages break down products into smaller fragments that bind to neutrophils, the most abundant immune cells in the body. Primed by the glucan, neutrophils move more quickly to recognize and kill foreign challenges.
The molecular structure and branching between the glucose molecules are essential for the immune-enhancing activity of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans, and this is what makes our product so potent compared to other types of glucan. The common feature of glucans which have the ability to activate the immune system, is a chain of glucose molecules linked together in so-called beta-1,3 linkages. However, to exert high bioactivity there must also be “branches” of glucose molecules attached (by beta-1,6- linkage) to this beta-1,3-glucan chain. The branched beta-glucans, called beta-1,3/1,6-glucans are very potent immunomodulators.
Selenium
Selenium is a really neat substance. One of the things it does is modulate the immune system. When tested, glucan alone was found to stimulate something called phagocytosis, which is a process our bodies use to clean up unwanted particles. When selenium is added to the mix, the rate of phagocytosis increases, keeping us healthier!
Also, selenium has a special interaction with a protein called IL-2. When combined with glucan, we see a great boost in the production of this protein. Plus, this combination also led to an increase in monocytes, very important cells in our immune system.
To top it off, an exciting interaction has been noticed between selenium and a substance called ß-Glucan. Together, they activate NK cells (key players in our immune system) and stimulate the release of specific proteins, such as IL-12 and interferon-gamma.
Curcumin
Now, let’s talk about Curcumin. This substance is known to protect against harmful effects of the Influenza A Virus. How does it do this? It helps control the immune cell numbers and reduces the production of pro-inflammatory proteins, and it does this by inhibiting the NF- B signaling pathway.
Apart from this, curcumin has also shown impressive anti-inflammatory effects, making it a substance worth researching for its potential in treating acute lung inflammatory diseases.
Vitamin D
- Vitamin D plays a crucial part in our anti-influenza defenses.
- It primarily targets the macrophages and pulmonary tract’s epithelial cells, which are most vulnerable to influenza A virus.
- As a response to influenza infection, these cells pump out a large number of compounds called cytokines and chemokines. These include the antiviral IFN- / ; MCP-1; MIP-1, and others.
- Vitamin D also helps shut down the NF-B signaling pathway, thus shielding our bodies from influenza viruses.
- An added bonus of Vitamin D is that it puts a stop to the differentiation of Th1 cells. This tips the scale in favor of Th2 response, thereby curtailing the inflammation caused by influenza.
Zinc
- Zinc isn’t just an essential part of countless viral enzymes, proteases, and polymerases. It also plays a pivotal role in halting the spread of viruses within our bodies.
- Its importance underlines the need for maintaining proper distribution of zinc within our cells and overall system.
- Quite a few laboratory studies have unearthed the different ways in which zinc messes with the virus replication process.
- Here’s how zinc does its bit in combating viruses:
- It inactivates free viruses
- Prevents the virus from uncoating.
- Arrests viral replication.
