Does BioBran pass through the blood-brain barrier?
As yet, there is no evidence that BioBran can pass through the blood-brain barrier. BioBran has a large molecular mass, much larger than glucose which can go through this barrier, and so it is unlikely that it can penetrate it. Does this mean that BioBran is of no use for someone with abnormal cell growths in the brain? No. BioBran is still beneficial because the brain does not have a separate immune system to the body so a strengthened immune system will benefit all regions of the body to some extent. And although NK cells generally do not migrate across the blood-brain barrier, any abnormal growths in the brain would have a correspondingly increased vascularisation (and one that is more haphazard than normal vascularisation) and so NK cells are more likely to be able to reach these abnormal cells. Having said that, there is little data available for the effect of BioBran on brain growths, although it will definitely help with quanlity of life of such patients. (Information from Dr.
