Professor Václav Větvička is a world-renowned expert in β-glucan research, with decades of groundbreaking work in immunology and over 200 scientific publications. He is widely regarded as a leading authority in the field. We are proud to have Professor Větvička conducting research with us—his involvement brings unmatched credibility and scientific depth to our project.
Vaclav Vetvicka’s comparative immune-function studies demonstrated that Nutramunity™ Beta-Glucan consistently outperformed competitor beta-glucans by achieving the strongest increases in phagocytosis, IL-2 cytokine production, and antibody formation, confirming its superior immune-activating efficacy.
Phagocytic activity refers to the ability of specialized cells, known as phagocytes, to ingest and sometimes digest foreign particles, including pathogenic bacteria. These immune cells – such as macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes – play a crucial role in our body’s defence against infections.
Yeast beta-glucans are known for their immunomodulatory properties. When beta-glucans bind to specific receptors on phagocytes, they promote phagocytosis and the release of cytokines. This activation results in a cascade in the immune response, making beta-glucans essential contributors to our body’s defence mechanisms.
