The info-peptides in CELLWORX® are the active compounds responsible for communicating with your immune cells and modulating the immune response. As we age our immune cells don't function as well and the natural levels of the info-peptides are much lower in our system which often leads to illness and susceptibility to disease. For our immune system to function properly we need to boost the level of these compounds.
The power of the info-peptides to reboot your immune system is demonstrated in people who have acquired immune deficiency (AIDs or HIV). This virus turns off the immune system by getting inside the T and B cells, otherwise known as CD4 cells. CD4 cells are always circulating in our blood. When the level of these cells gets below 400 counts per ml of blood then it is clinically described as acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Retro-viral drugs are prescribed to help slow the growth of the virus In clinical trials at the University of Nairobi in Kenya info-peptides were clearly demonstrated to increase natural levels of CD4 cells over a 6 week period. In a group of more than 90 patients the levels increased from a medium of 275 to >500 counts per ml, which is back in the normal range. These people technically no longer had clinical HIV.* The Sialyl-oligosaccharides are important compounds within the body. They are very complex acidic sugars which have a number of functions. They are involved in the transfer of information across the nerve endings, ensuring that the flow of information to critical organs/ cells within our body is ongoing and uninterrupted.
The Sialyl-oligosaccharides are absorbed along with the info-peptides under the tongue directly in to the blood stream where they are distributed throughout the body making them available for critical information transfer.
The Sialyl-oligosaccharides also play a role in the immune system. Acting like antibodies, binding with deadly viruses and bacteria so they cannot attach to the mucosal surfaces in the body. This important function removes these micro-organisms from the blood where they circulate with the potential to cause damage and illness. A particular example is shown where a Sialyl -oligosaccharides binds to a flu virus.* Another important function of
CELLWORX® is the delivery of Neuro-peptides. These compounds interact with nerve tissue, particularly in the brain. As we age our brain degenerates. Brain degeneration occurs by a number of mechanisms, formation of beta-amyloid plaques and attack by free radicals. The neuropeptides have been shown to inhibit the formation of the beta amyloid plaques and reduce the impact on brain tissue of the free radicals.* What this means is that the neuropeptides in CELLWORX® play an important role in supporting cognitive function in the elderly, the group most at risk of degenerative brain disorders. |
