Description
Effects of beta-glucans on microbes and viruses:
- In the submucosal layer of the intestine, beta-glucans activate macrophages, NK (natural killer) cells and LAK (lymphokine activated killer) cells.
- As a result, a strong antimicrobial defense barrier is formed in the intestinal mucosa.
- Activated macrophages initiate the formation of lymphocytes responsible for endothelial protection. This leads to a significant increase in local immunity due to increased phagocytic activity.
- In addition, activation of phagocytosis triggers the synthesis and release of cytokines (interleukins and interferons). This further strengthens the intestine’s protection against viral pathogens.
- The release of cytokines provides a signal for the activation of other cells in the immune system, mainly T and B lymphocytes.
How do MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides) work?
- MOS contains active mannose residues, as in the surface layer of the intestine.
- Thanks to their similarity, yeast mannans can prevent the binding of pathogens and surface carbohydrates of the intestinal wall.
- The bond between MOS and pathogens is strong and durable, effectively isolating pathogens.
- Intestinal motility helps quickly remove both pathogens and MOS from the gastrointestinal tract through defecation. As a result, pathogens are unable to adhere to the intestinal wall, which inhibits their reproduction and promotes their rapid exit from the gastrointestinal tract
