Our immune system is a wonderfully complex network of molecules, cells, tissues and organs that work together to protect the body from disease. Optimal immune function is critical for quality of life and for survival itself.
β-glucan polysaccharides are touted as nature’s immune-modulator, helping to prime immune cells and support and balance natural immunity. It prepares and supports the immune system for stronger and faster responses against pathogens.
BioGlena, Solabia-Algatech Nutritions’ Beta-glucan, is a 100% natural whole Euglena gracilis algae produced by proprietary fermentation technology ensuring a high beta-glucan content (>55%), in addition to complete protein, essential vitamins and minerals.
The microalgae Euglena gracilis produces linear beta 1,3-glucans called Paramylon which supports a controlled and balanced immune response.
BioGlena prepares and supports the immune system for stronger and faster responses against pathogens – a process called “trained immunity”. Trained immunity is the ability of the innate immune system to recall or adapt to a first challenge and to respond more rapidly and robustly to a secondary challenge by a similar or dissimilar microbial or fungi stimulus.
The β-Glucan is easily released from the whole algae in the stomach and is then picked up by immune cells in the intestine and transported to key immune sites in the body. This initiates a cascade of immune signalling and immune cells priming, ultimately strengthening our natural innate and adaptive immune support against pathogens.
Clinical studies showed that the consumption of Euglena gracillis products led to fewer days of cold symptoms such as caught runny nose, sore throat etc. and improved well-being by reducing physical and mental fatigue.
BioGlena is the next generation source of beta-glucan, 100% natural and completely unprocessed not containing any solvents or additives and it is suitable and safe for the whole family for daily use. BioGlena has been recognized by the FDA as a G.R.A.S.
