Beta Glucans (β-Glucans) are natural polysaccharides comprised of glucose polymers, produced by variety of plants such as oats, barley and seaweed. β-Glucans are constituents of the cell wall of baker's yeast, certain types of fungi and many kinds of mushrooms.
Among the sources of β-Glucans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) has been studied extensively for its strong biological response modifier (BRM) properties, principally for its immunomodulatory potential. However, the low solubility of yeast-derived β-Glucan makes it difficult to be absorbed from the digestive tract.
The process of carboxymethylation transform β-Glucan to CM-Glucan (carboxymethyl-glucan or carboxymethylated Beta (1,3-glucan) into a highly soluble glucan that can be readily absorbed by the body. As a result, CM-Glucan triggers and enhances phagocytosis that sets off the entire immune system cascade.
CM-Glucan, as a soluble-derivative of β-Glucan has additional advantages: Absence of toxicity.
Absence of adverse effects.
Enhanced biological properties: antioxidant and immunomodulation activities.
Maintenance of bioactivity since soluble derivatives (CM-Glucan) can cross the gastrointestinal wall without causing damage to the digestive system.
ImmunoMax and ImmunoMax Forte are taken as a food supplement and may be used as adjuvant to several therapies such as: Asthma and Allergic Rhinitis: CM-Glucan (ImmunoMax) enhances macrophage activity. Macrophages are able to manipulate immune response by secreting anti-inflammatory mediators such as Prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2), Tumor Growth Factor (TGF-a) and Interleukin-10 (IL-10). As such, CM-Glucan can act as macrophage stimulant and prevent the appearance of a Th2 response, which may: Prevent asthma episodes, Reduce duration and severity of asthma attacks, Reduce and prevent allergic rhinitis.
Respiratory Infections: The use of CM-Glucan (ImmunoMax) fortifies the immune system and may result in: Dramatic reduction in frequency of recurrent colds and flu; Significant reduction in frequency and duration of asthma episodes; Absence or reduction in the frequency of respiratory tract infections; Marked improvement of patient under treatment of primary complex of pulmonary tuberculosis; Shorter duration, treatment and faster recovery from infections and diseases.
Cancer: CM-Glucan has been shown to possess bioprotective properties such as antimutagenic, antigenotoxic and antioxidant properties by its capability of scavenging reactive oxygen species. CM-Glucan enhances reticuloendothelial system function and modulates cellular and humoral immunity. CM-Glucan has been proven effective in stimulating hematopoieses after repeated doses of radiation and increasing total leukocyte counts, which may: Help in cancer prevention and therapy, Help increase the survival period of cancer patients, Help reduce the side effects of cancer treatment such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, Help improve patients quality of life as the disease progresses.
Surgery: With the stimulation of macrophages caused by the binding of CM-Glucan with the glucan receptors in the white blood cells, these macrophages are much able to recognize and kill tumor cells, as well as remove foreign debris. They are able to produce a number of vital cytokines that are able to stimulate the immune system by efficiently destroying pathogens, thereby preventing disease and: Help reduce infection complication rate in patients undergoing major surgery, Help prevent post-operative infection, Help decrease the need for intravenous antibiotics and shorter hospitalization, Help reduce morbidity and mortality.
Use with Anti-infective Agents: CM-Glucan (ImmunoMax) enhances immune function and helps in reducing susceptibility to infection. It may be given as adjuvant to antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal agents.
CM-Glucan (IMMUNOMAX) Safety: Studies done on CM-Glucan demonstrates the safety of CM-Glucan: No recorded side effects associated to its use.
Shows bioprotective properties.
No changes in the kidney and liver functions were found in patients after CM-Glucan administration.
No effects on heart rate and blood pressure.
