Introduction
But, is Vitamin C alone enough to boost immunity?
Studies have shown that the consumption of 0.2g Yeast β Glucan daily helps boost immunity.
Studies have shown that the consumption of 0.2g Yeast β Glucan daily helps boost immunity.
• A well-known immune-boosting vitamin
• A powerful antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress.
• Supports the production of immune cells (white blood cells) and enhances their function.
• Helps enhance the body’s antibody levels.
• A type of beta (β) glucan extracted from edible yeast that has been proven to help boost immunity.
• Its immune-boosting effects has been recognized and approved by the Ministry Health of Malaysia.
• Helps improve the function and reactivity of immune cells to destroy potential pathogen. (3,4)
• Also acts as an antioxidant that helps reduce cellular damage. (5)
• An anti-infectious agent that can help inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria and viruses. (6)
• As feeds to the good intestinal bacteria and promote their growth.
• Helps maintain a healthy intestinal environment for better digestive health.
• The digestive system houses 70% of the body’s immunity.
Mix one sachet into a glass of cold/room temperature water (about 100ml). Stir well and drink after preparation. Take one sachet daily after meal.
