Cancer and the innate immune system
https://www.BetaGlucanShop.com — Natural killer cells (NK cells) are the most aggressive cells of your immune system and kills through apoptosis, also known as programmed cell death. These innate immunity cells are important in fighting viral infections and cancer.
Natural killer cells can help to prevent metastasis. They do this by destroying abnormal and tumor cells. The spread of cancer is known as metastasis. In immunotherapy, beta glucans may help the immune system differentiate between normal and abnormal cells such as cancer cells (depending on the type). This allows the immune cells engage the cancer cells.
Researchers have found that beta 1,3/1,6-glucans are able to activate immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils. They can also trigger natural killer cells, dendritic cell, and monocytes. Wellmune Beta Glucan has been shown in clinical human studies to increase the percentage of immune cells that are active and ready to defend you. Wellmune mobilizes innate immune cells at the site of an infection, which allows for faster recognition of foreign invaders, neutralization, and killing of foreign challenges (phagocytosis).
Wellmune Beta Glucan is a proprietary yeast beta 1,3/1,6 glucan that primes neutrophils, macrophages and natural killer cell to help your body fight off infections and other foreign threats. It also helps remove damaged cells.
