The Macrophage
Macrophages are huge cells in comparison to infectious organisms and other immune system cells. From the Greek, macro meaning large, and phage meaning to devour or engulf. This specialized cell is the first line of immune defense and, once activated creates a chain reactions that results in the mobilization and amplification of the entire immune system. A special receptor site, specific to Beta-1,3-D-glucan exists on the macrophage. Beta-1,3-D-glucan binds to the receptor site, fully activating the macrophage. Resembling an angry octopus, the macrophage extends tentacle like arms, physically pulling in infectious invaders, ingesting and destroying them with caustic enzymes. When fully activated, the macrophage becomes - as one researching immunologists has noted -
" An Arsenal of
Immune Defense"
"Turning On" the Macrophage with
Beta-1,3-D-glucan
The dietary supplement MacroForceTM
contains highly purified and standardized Beta-1,3-D-glucan. This
unique ingredient is derived from cell walls of Baker's yeast.
Beta-1,3-D-glucan actually triggers the immune response selectively
where it starts, at the macrophage. When the Beta-1,3-D-glucan
activates the macrophage it enhances phagocytosis, the ability of
macrophages to engulf and destroy foreign cells and particles.
Increase in the number of activated macrophages in 24 hours after oral
intake of Beta-1,3-D-glucan. (Data of ImmuDyne, Inc. and Baylor
College of Medicine.)ReplenishingThe Macrophage with Calcium Ascorbate
Ascorbate is an essential component
of phagocyting cells such as macrophages. A decrease in ascorbate
content can be observed in macrophages upon stimulation of their
phagocyting function with Beta-1,3-D-glucan.
MacroForce Plus C includes this valuable nutrient, which is important
to improve macrophage motility, particularly for those needing
supplementation to enhance their immune function.
- Triple Strength Potency --
-
Every capsule contains 7.5 mg of
Beta-1,3-D-glucan
- Calcium Ascorbate --
-
this non-acidic form of Vitamin C is
an important component of macrophage cells. Every capsule contains
438 mg of Calcium Ascorbate.
- Convenient Dosage 7.5 mg.
MacroForce
Beta-1,3-D-glucan
-
for those who need increased
supplementation, just one capsule per day.
- Beta-1,3-D-glucan
-
can be taken in conjunction with
chemotherapy, antibiotic therapy, or radiotherapy.
- Beta-1,3-D-glucan
-
is derived from yeast cell walls.
However, as a pure isolate, it contains no yeast proteins that could
cause an allergic reaction.
Radioprotective effects of
Research originating from the United States Armed Forces Radiological Research Institute has validated the oral effectiveness of ImmuDyneís Beta-1,3-D-glucan as a radio-protective agent. The mechanisms of protection were described as follows:
1. Beta-1,3-D-glucan protected the macrophage cells from the radiation induced free radical damage.
2. The intact macrophages were able to help scavenge the excess cellular breakdown and debris caused by high dose radiation damage.
3. The activated macrophages continued to vigilantly defend the host against potential opportunistic infections.
4. Macrophage cells release factors important to the restoration of bone marrow production pivotal to surviving excessive radioactive assault.
Conditions of modern living make it impossible for us to avoid sources of ionizing and nonionizing radiation such as:
