“We look forward to showcasing our new yeast beta-glucan ingredient for the sports nutrition market at Vitafoods,” said Simon Seward, Commercial Director at NutraQ. “NBG® Sport is a valuable addition to sports nutrition formulations, supporting healthy immune function to keep performance at peak levels.”
A Well-Balanced Immune System is the key to Better Performance
A well-functioning immune system is crucial for athletic performance as well as for an active lifestyle. Yet, exercise in itself has impact on the immune function. Research has shown that intensive exercise suppresses the immune system, compromising the body’s ability to defend itself.
Nutramunity™ Beta-Glucan (NBG®) helps support healthy immune function, so athletes and recreational users can recover faster from exercise stress. Studies have demonstrated the oral intake of beta-1,3/1,6-glucan:
- Improves immune function
- Promotes healthy inflammatory response
- Supports mucosal immunity and promotes respiratory health
