M-Gard®
M-Gard® has been extensively studied for over 20 years
Many studies have shown that M-Gard® exerts immunomodulatory effects in in vitro and in vivo models as well as in human clinical trials. It is one of the most studied and published yeast beta-glucan products.
Studies have demonstrated that M-Gard® can strengthen the immune system, promote healthy inflammatory responses, enhance protection against pathogens, support respiratory health, and protect during periods of excessive stress. It has been shown to be safe and well tolerated and is also an effective adjuvant used in vaccines.
M-Gard® has a unique molecular structure
M-Gard® is unique because of its long side chains. The long side chains contribute to M-Gard®’s proven benefits by interacting more closely with immune cell receptors to generate a strong immune response.
M-Gard® trains the immune system
Immune training is the process where innate immune cells develop a memory-like response. This means that when these cells are exposed to a non-specific stimulus (also known as a priming stimulus), they become better prepared to fight off infections in the future.
