Item number: 45-203 
 IMMUNOGUARD® from SPONSER is a natural plant-based nutritional supplement that has been scientifically developed to boost immune defenses and provide protection against oxidative stress. This product is designed for athletes, but thanks to the high-quality functional ingredients, it is also suitable for daily use, at work or in periods of increased stress. It can be used preventively or in acute situations. 
 nucleotides: 
 Nucleotides are the primary building blocks of cell replication (RNA and DAN). When cells need to be reshaped, such as in the formation of white blood cells during an immune response, nucleotides play a central role. 
 arabinogalactans: 
 ResistAid® Arabinogalactans are soluble dietary fibers that have antioxidant properties because they contain polyphenols. Arabinogalactans enhance the immune response by increasing the activity of natural killer cells, cytokines and macrophages. Because of the increased immunocompetence of the body, viruses and bacterial stressors can be better inactivated. 
 Turmeric extract: 
 Part of the diet from the Far East since centuries. Turmeric is considered anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. 
 Reishi extract: 
 Reishi is a nutritional mushroom with anti-inflammatory properties. It has also been used in the diet of the Far East for thousands of years. The mechanism of action is based on bioactive polysaccharides that attach to and deactivate viral or bacterial stressors in a similar way to arabinogalactans or beta-glucans. 
 Olive leaves extract: 
 Olive leaves are rich in hydroxytyrosol. A substance from the large polyphenol family with strong antioxidant properties. 
 Yeast beta glucans (Wellmune®): 
 Beta-glucans are polysaccharides and occur naturally in yeast and grains. Yeast beta glucans have a slightly different chemical structure than the cereal variant. The elongated 1,3 / 1,6 carbon branches allow granulocytes to attach themselves to bacterial and viral stress, thus enabling the body's immune response. A study among athletes showed that professionals with a daily intake of 250 mg yeast-beta-glucans suffered considerably fewer respiratory infections, compared to a placebo. In addition, it exhibited a dose-dependent mechanism of action, ie the greater the amount of beta-glucans extract, the lower the susceptibility to infection. 
 Black pepper: 
 Black pepper contains piperine, which is responsible for the spiciness. But for us humans, piperine is not only important as a sensory molecule. Piperine has an antimicrobial effect in the context of immune defense. Piperine also appears to improve the assimilation of other nutrients, such as curcumin, which is why piperine is used in food supplements. 
 lactoferrin: 
 Lactoferrin is a protein-like iron compound that not only promotes iron absorption, but also has immune-protective properties. Lactoferrin forms complexes with ferrous pathogens, making them harmless. 
 Vitamins and minerals 
 Vitamin C, D, B12, folic acid and zinc support the normal functioning of the immune system. Vitamin C and E and zinc help protect cells against oxidative stress. In particular, folic acid and vitamin B12 play a role in the process of cell division. Plant extracts contain valuable health-promoting polyphenols and enzymes.
