How does ImmuPet strengthen immunity?
The Norwegian Beta Glucan (NBG) in ImmuPet binds specifically to a “receptor molecule” found on the surface of specialized white blood cells (macrophages, granulocytes and natural killer cells). These cells are the frontline of defense against microbial attacks. When the receptor is engaged by NBG, the cell becomes more active in engulfing and digesting antigens while simultaneously producing substances that kill bacteria. White blood cells activated by NBG also produce signal molecules called cytokines. These molecules stimulate the formation of more white blood cells and send messages to B- and T-cells, enhancing their capacity to produce antibodies and mobilize the defense against specific disease organisms. Activation with ImmuPet results in enhanced overall resistance to all possible infectious agents (virus, bacteria, fungi, parasites). Due to its very basic mode of action, ImmuPet affects a number of different biological processes, including not only disease resistance, but also
