Beta-Glucan

Wellmune®

Beta-Glucan is an essential food constituent. It is a type of fiber mainly found in (bakers) yeasts. Beta-Glucan consists of D-glucose monomers linked by a β-glycosidic bond. Studies suggest that Beta-Glucan may reduce chronic diseases, cancer, allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, and immune-related diseases. Derived from fungi and bakers yeast, Beta-Glucan consists of a (1,3)-β-linked backbone with small numbers of (1,6)-β-linked side chains, and is essentially known for its immune-modulating effects. In addition, bakers yeast as source for (1,3/1,6) Beta-Glucan was approved in 2008 as ‘Generally Recognized as Safe’ (GRAS) by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).

Immune system

The key role of Beta-Glucan is to reinforce the ability of the innate immune system so that it quickly recognizes and responds to an invading pathogen which is essential for controlling infection and keeping the body healthy. Importantly, Beta-Glucan activates the innate immunity with subsequent effects on the adaptive immunity activation, without overstimulating the immune response.

Other effects

There is scientific evidence that beta-glucans may reduce hay fever and infections in general and infections after surgery. Beta-Glucans also might extent the life in some patients with advanced cancer when given longer than 1 year. Oral administration of Beta-Glucans maintains normal blood cholesterol by preventing the absorption of cholesterol from food in the stomach and intestines. As a result, low density lipoprotein (LDL; eg, bad cholesterol) is diminished suggesting that beta-glucans reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease.

A comprehensive review of Beta-Glucans and their effects on the immune system is available as a White Paper at Vitux AS.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present various foods but mainly in vegetables and fruit. Highest concentrations of vitamin C are found in red and yellow peppers. For good health it should be available in the diet daily. Recommended daily amounts for vitamin C are 110 mg for men and 80 mg for women, while children should take at least 20 mg per day. Because the body can’t store large amounts, there is a threshold for vitamin C; the body can’t absorb more than 50 mol/L and the surplus is excreted via the kidneys in urine.

Vitamin C plays a key role in several bodily functions including:

Antioxidant – Protection

Vitamin C is well known for its antioxidant properties; it cooperates well with vitamin E and prevents alone and in combination with vitamin E against oxidative damage from free radicals. By limiting oxidative damage, vitamin C helps to reduce the risk for chronic diseases including hearth diseases. Some research has suggested that vitamin C may help treat cancer by fighting oxidative damage.

Normal structure of tissues

Sufficient daily intake of vitamin C improves repair of tissues such as bones, teeth, skin and blood vessels. This is because vitamin C contributes to the production of collagen which is primary for tissue repair.

Nervous system

Vitamin C supports the normal function of the nervous system. Its primary role is to support the production (biosynthesis) of noradrenaline. In addition, vitamin C is involved in the modulation of neurotransmitter receptors that are needed for normal psychological functions.

Immune system

Vitamin C plays an important role in the normal function of the immune system. It supports the immune defence primarily through scavenging free radicals. Free radicals are produced when immune cells attack invading bacteria and viruses. Large amounts of free radicals are also produced during extreme physical exercise and jeopardizes the immune system. Because vitamin C is such a strong antioxidant, it counteracts the harm of free radicals.

Blood iron levels

Vitamin C supports healthy iron levels. It prevents anaemia by improving the absorption of iron from plant-based foods.

Energy levels

Vitamin C is important for sufficient energy levels and reduces tiredness and fatigue. It is important for the production of energy formation in cells.

EFSA has acknowledged the following beneficial effects as a basis for health claims:

  • Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cell constituents from oxidative damage
  • Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation and the normal function of bones, teeth, cartilage, gums, skin and blood vessels
  • Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the nervous system
  • Vitamin C increases non-haem iron absorption
  • Vitamin C contributes to a normal function of the immune system
  • Vitamin C contributes to maintain the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical exercise
  • Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
  • Vitamin C can contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
  • Vitamin C contributes to normal psychological functions
  • Vitamin C contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E

Elderberry

Elderberry is used for its antioxidant activity, to lower cholesterol, to improve vision, to boost the immune system, to improve heart health and for coughs, colds, flu, bacterial and viral infections and tonsillitis. Flavonoids, small constituents that are present in elderberries act as antioxidants and support the immune system. One of these flavonoids is quercetin, which has been investigated in many clinical studies. It’s believed that quercetin reduces inflammatory processes that are observed in arthritis and cardiovascular diseases. Because of its modulatory effect on inflammatory reactions, it reduces pain and swelling.

Elderberries contain organic pigments, tannin, amino acids, carotenoids, flavonoids, rutin, viburnic acid, vitamin A and B and a large amount of vitamin C. They are also mildly laxative, diuretic, and diaphoretic.

5-MTHF (Quatrefolic)

5-MTHF (Quatrefolic) is a B vitamin. It helps the body make healthy new cells. Everyone needs folic acid. For women who may get pregnant, it is really important. Getting enough folic acid before and during pregnancy can prevent major birth defects in her baby’s brain or spine.
