Glucafood
Glucafood supports the physiological function of the body’s immune system.
Factors influencing the immune system:
- Lifestyle: negative stress, lack of physical exercise
- Harmful substances: food preservatives, exhaust fumes
- Nutrition: lack of nutrients, malnutrition
- Toxins consumed: alcohol, tobacco, drugs
- Physical factors: magnetic fields, radio pollution
- Medication: pain-killers, hormones
The biologically active component (1->3), (1->6)-ß-D-glucan acts upon the defense mechanisms at the central switching point of the immune defense system, the macrophages.
It occupies a certain receptor on the macrophages (cells that engulf foreign material) and thereby triggers a number of immune-specific reactions which result in a substantial stimulation of the unspecific immune system.
Glucafood® is a natural product which comes from the cell walls of a pure-culture baking yeast strain, saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Since 2007, Glucafood has been included in the following Trek’n Eat meals:
- Spinach and gorgonzola cream soup
- Egg pancakes
- Scrambled eggs with onions
- "Swiss-type" muesli with whole milk
