Immunomodulators


A true modulator of immune function—an Immunomodulator—is an agent that functions to strengthen or restore immune activity as needed to optimize health.  Optimizing immune function via internal regulatory signals and control systems is termed Immunorestoration.

Immunorestoration

When the immune system is weakened or overactive due to aging, lifestyle, environmental toxins, or other causes of deficiency, we become more susceptible to viral and bacterial infections like influenza and the common cold, as well as Heart Disease and Cancer.  Immunorestoration is an approach to remedy the effects of Aging and immunosenescence, and revitalize the body’s natural immune response and anti-Cancer immunity.

In clinical studies of these and other conditions, it has been shown that certain Arabinoxylan Immunomodulator Compounds can up-regulate, and so improve a weakened immune response.  As well, in conditions where the immune system is overactive and harming the body, Arabinoxylan Immunomodulator Compounds have been shown to down-regulate immune system.  In the specific case of Autoimmune Diseases, the immune system is overactive, and preliminary evidence indicates that RBAC has a restorative, down-regulating effect.

Arabinoxylan Immunomodulator Compounds and RBAC

For decades, Japanese scientists and physicians were aware of the powerful health and nutritional potential locked within rice bran.  Yet, they also knew that people taking crude rice bran or supplements were not receiving its full health benefits.

Crude rice bran and several other grains naturally contain molecules which are known to enhance human immunity.  These molecules are very large polysaccharides known as Arabinoxylans, but because of their tremendous size they are very difficult to absorb into the body.  For this reason crude rice bran does not function as an optimal immunomodulator.

In order to access the immune modulating potential locked within the Arabinoxylan molecules, years of research were conducted, and in 1992 there was a major breakthrough.  A brilliant method was discovered using natural Hyphomycetes mycelia enzymes to produce Arabinoxylan Immunomodulator Compounds; oligo-arabinoxylans from rice bran of greatly enhanced bioactive potency.

Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound (RBAC)

This special method created a unique, natural compound—Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Compound (RBAC).  Over the following 13 years dozens of scientific trials and clinical investigations showed RBAC to be a powerful immunomodulator, assisting healthy individuals, as well as Cancer AIDS and Arthritis patients, to restore optimal strength and balanced regulation to their immune system functions.  

RBAC makes the essential bioactive components of rice bran purely bioavailable for optimal immune support.  The natural process developed in Japan transforms crude bran into a healthful organic oligosaccharide compound that can be absorbed directly into the body where it acts to restore optimal immune system function.

These organic polysaccharide fragments are the active principal of RBAC, and have been found in human clinical trials to act as potent Biological Response Modifiers (BRMs), which means that they act to revitalize normal body functions.

Another beneficial aspect of the immunomodulation activity of RBAC and related Arabinoxylan Immunomodulator Compounds is their impressive anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.   Of equal importance for health promotion, ongoing clinical studies show that RBAC does not lose efficacy with long-term use.
