Starmel Imunofit for Immune support 200mg 30tabs - For optimum immune support

Details

The Imunofit line offers a selection of products for various needs: tablets for adults with the high level of beta-glucan on the Greek market syrup for adults, who cannot or wish not to consume tablets a very tasty syrup Junior for kids For optimal effect, we recommend regular consuming of tablets or the syrup for at least a month.

1 tablet contains 200 mg of β-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucan, 80 mg of vitamin C and 20 mg of the water-soluble form of coenzyme Q10. Tablets are film coated and elongated in order to ease consummation and contain an ingredient for accelerating their decomposition in the stomach for the purpose of rapid absorption. Tablets do not contain any ingredients of animal origin and are therefore, in contrast to gelatin capsules, also suitable for vegetarians.

Recommended consummation of 1 tablet per day for at least a month (in case of increased needs two tablets per day are allowed). Consume the tablet at least half an hour before a meal, in the morning or in the evening.

Beta-glucans are dietary fibers and represent a wide group of natural saccharides. Beta-glucans have a very diverse chemical structure, due to different origins, and consequently very different biological roles. This is why it is extremely important for the efficiency of a food supplement, which beta-glucan it holds.

Imunofit products contain a highly active β-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucan, isolated from cellular walls of yeast, for which a beneficial effect on the functioning of the immune system has been clinically proven. These kinds of beta-glucans are known by the expert public as an extremely effective natural ingredient for supporting the immune system.

Beta-glucans from grains

β-(1.3)-(1.4)-D-glucans

This is a water-soluble dietary fiber, which is located in the bran of grains, particularly barley and oat, but does not have a substantial influence on the immune system.

Beta-glucans from yeast

β-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucans

This mainly non-soluble fiber is located in the cellular walls of yeast. Its beneficial effect on the immune system has been proven, therefore these beta-glucans are the ones we used in our Valens Imunofit products.

Beta-glucans from fungi

β-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucans

They are found in cellular walls of different mushrooms and are mainly water-soluble and structurally similar to those from yeast.

Beta-glucans represent a wide group of natural polysaccharides with a number of biological properties, therefore it is very important to choose the optimal form in regard to intended use. Valens Imunofit products use a special form of beta-glucans, isolated from yeast, for which it has been proven that they support the immune system. Addition of coenzyme Q10 in vitamin C When the immune system responds to the entering of foreign particles, the release of radicals also increases; therefore it is extremely important that our body also has a well-functioning defense against these reactive molecules. The other two ingredients in Imunofit products, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin C, have an important protective role. Both of them are essential components in the protection of important biological molecules against oxidative damage, since they are natural anti-oxidizers, which protect the body from radicals, harmful reactive ingredients, which accelerate aging and are the cause of various illnesses.

The immune system protects the body from infections caused by foreign particles (e.g. bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.), which manage to enter the body. In general, we can divide it to (1) the innate and (2) the acquired immune system. The latter incorporates a specific response with immunological memory, which occurs only after a certain period of time. In contrast, the innate immune system incorporates a non-specific response (no immunological memory), which occurs instantly and on the greatest scale. Beta-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucans from yeast cultures support the functioning of this innate immune system, since they activate our natural defense system against foreign particles by binding to macrophages in the intestines via reinforced phagocytosis.

Image: Studies have shown that a part of the consumed β-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucan is captured by macrophages in the intestines, which transfer it to tissues important for an immune response.

Transfer from the intestines to the blood stream via Peyer plates

Peyer plates are a part of the final section of the small intestine, which is of crucial importance to the immune system. By marking molecules, researchers have determined that via the cells in this part of the intestine, beta-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucans bind to macrophages, which then transfer them to other parts of the body that are important for the immune system..

Transfer of beta-glucan via macrophages and their fragmentation

Macrophages with beta-glucans migrate to different tissues of the immune system, e.g. the spleen, lymphatic glands and bone marrow. Beta-glucans reach those places very soon. Next day, fragmentation of beta-glucans was noticed;Immediately after, these fragments were already bound to neutrophiles and other granulocytes in bone marrow. These binding sites are essential for balancing yeast cell phagocytosis via macrophages.

Immune response

Binding of beta-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucan fragments with receptors of the innate immune system’s cells triggers an immediate immune response, which can be reflected in many ways, e.g. with (1) reinforced phagocytosis and (2) an oxidative assault (cytotoxic action of macrophages).

During phagocytosis macrophages or other phagocytes engulf and dissolve foreign particles. It has been determined that neutrophiles bound with beta-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucan fragments migrate to the place of infection faster.

Oxidative assault with cytotoxic action of macrophages is the secondary mechanism of the innate immune system for fighting off foreign particles. Macrophages and neutrophiles increase oxygen consumption and begin generating cytotoxic oxygen metabolites for fighting off foreign particles. Binding beta-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucan fragments with appropriate receptors of the innate immune system increases the possibility of such an assault on certain foreign particles. Since an oxidative assault is accompanied by a release of very reactive radicals, it is important that the body has a well-working defense, which protects healthy tissue from damage. The other two ingredients of Imunofit products, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin C,vitamin D3,zinc have an important role in this process. Along with an important role in protecting important molecules in our bodies from oxidative damage, vitamin C also has other well-known biological functions.

Production and quality of ingredients

Imunofit products use: β-(1.3)-(1.6)-D-glucan, isolated from yeast, coenzyme Q10 of fermentation origin in a patented water-soluble form,vitamin D3,zinc and the L isomer of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in the natural form, as it is found in our bodies. All ingredients are of non-animal origin and are therefore also suitable for vegetarians.

Our production runs according to medicinal product standards, therefore we have introduced a system for releasing products onto the market only once analyses have confirmed that the declared content of the active ingredient of an individual batch matches with the actual and that the safety of the final user is assured.

Imunofit products safety and contraindications

Verified ingredients in Imunofit products make consuming them safe. Unwanted occurrences have not been detected, even in chronic consumptions with excessive doses. Beta-glucans, coenzyme Q10,vitamin D3,zinc and vitamin C are naturally found in food. We do not recommend the use of our products to patients with autoimmune disorder or those, who are taking medication for suppressing the immune system.Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult their physician our pharmacist prior to consuming.
