Brand: Immune Health Basics
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The active ingredient, Wellmune WGP, is a purified beta-glucan derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast). At the cellular level, it functions as a biological response modifier. Upon ingestion, Wellmune WGP is absorbed by specialized immune cells in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), primarily macrophages. These cells break down the beta-glucan into smaller fragments. These fragments are then transported to immune organs like the spleen and lymph nodes. Here, they prime innate immune cells, specifically neutrophils. This priming process enhances the neutrophils' ability to recognize and respond to invading pathogens, effectively boosting the body's natural defenses without over-stimulating the immune system.
