MODE OF ACTION

1 cap TID
The active ingredient in Imucell WGP is WGP beta glucan, a natural
carbohydrate biopolymer that stimulates the human immune system as it
passes through the body without being digested or absorbed. Activation
occurs when WGP beta glucan comes in contact with the macrophage, a
type of white blood cell present in specialized regions in the small intestine.
The stimulated macrophages, the body's first line of defense, have an
increased ability to identify and destroy foreigner intruders. After devouring
invaders, the macrophages then communicate the intruder's presence to the
body's other defenders.

Once swallowed, immune cells in the gastrointestinal tract take up

Wellmune and transport it to immune organs throughout the body.
While in the immune organs, immune cells called macrophages
digest Wellmune into smaller fragments and slowly release them
over a number of days. The fragments bind to neutrophils, via
complement receptor 3 (CR3), which are the most abundant
immune cells in the body. In fact, neutrophils account for 60-70%
of all immune cells.
With Wellmune, the neutrophils are now primed for activity.
