IMMUNOGUARD

IMMUNOGUARD

The scientifically designed IMMUNOGUARD® from SPONSER® is a dietary supplement based on vegetable ingredients. It was developed with the aim of reinforcing the immune system in various ways and protecting the body from oxidative stress.

The functional ingredients of IMMUNOGUARD® support the body’s own immune system in phases of increased stress during sports, in everyday life or on journeys (increased risk of infection).

Ingredients

IMMUNOGUARD® is freely available (no medical drug) and consists of safe, reliable raw materials with no doping risk.

The product is based on the action of numerous functionally researched ingredients such as nucleotides, yeast beta-glucans, arabinogalactan, vitamins (C, D, B12), zinc and extracts of turmeric, Reishi, black pepper and olive leaves.

The active ingredients of IMMUNOGUARD at a glance.

Nucleotides

Nucleotides are the primary building blocks of cell replication (RNA and DNA). Nucleotides play a central role whenever new cells have to be formed, for example in the formation of white blood cells for the immune response during an infection.

Arabinogalactans

ResistAid® arabinogalactans are soluble dietary fibres with immunomodulating properties by increasing the activity of natural killer cells, cytokines and macrophages.

Thus, viruses and bacterial stressors can be better inactivated by the increased immune competence of the body, especially in the upper respiratory tract.

Curcuma extract

As a component of the Far Eastern diet for centuries, curcuma is considered anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial.

Reishi extract

Reishi is an edible mushroom with anti-inflammatory properties that has also been used in the Far Eastern diet for thousands of years.

The mechanism of action is based on bioactive polysaccharides which, similar to arabinogalactans or beta-glucans, dock to viral or bacterial stressors and inactivate them.

Olive leaf exctrat

Olive leaves are rich in hydroxytyrosol, a substance of the large polyphenol family with strong antioxidant properties.

Beta-glucans from yeast

Beta-glucans are polysaccharides and occur naturally in yeast and cereals. Beta-glucans from yeast have a slightly different chemical structure than the grain variant and differ in their effect.

Yeast beta-glucans simulate pathogens for certain defence bodies, whereby an immune response of the body takes place and it can thus react faster to actual pathogens.

A study in athletes showed that athletes with 250 mg yeast beta-glucans daily suffered significantly less from respiratory infections compared to placebo.

In addition, the effect was dose-dependent, i.e. the greater the amount of beta-glucan extract, the lower the susceptibility to infection.

Black pepper extract

Black pepper contains naturally piperine, which is responsible for the spiciness. However, piperine is not only of interest to humans as a sensory molecule. In the immune defence, piperine has an antimicrobial effect.

Piperin also seems to improve the absorption of other nutrients such as curcumin, which is why piperin is used in food supplements.

Vitamins & minerals

The vitamins C, D, B12, folic acid and zinc support the normal function of the immune system. Vitamins C, E and zinc help to protect cells from oxidative stress.

Folic acid and vitamin B12 play an important role in the cell division process.
