Research shows that the ingredients in MegaPreTM enhance immunity and relieve symptoms of common illnesses, like the common cold and flu.
MegaPreTM contains nondigestible xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) that are clinically shown to stimulate immune cells through modulating the gut microbiome.
One of the primary benefits of prebiotics is that they are fermented by gut bacteria to yield short-chain fatty acids, which regulate immune cells. SCFAs subsequently stimulate intestinal cells to produce β-defensin, an antimicrobial compound that keeps pathogens at bay. |

In fact, children who consumed gold kiwifruit on a daily basis showed a significant reduction in incidence of cold and flu-like illness.2 Similarly, gold kiwifruit consumption significantly improved symptoms of infection, such as head congestion and fatigue, in older adults.3

Furthermore, GOS increased colonies of Bifidobacteria while simultaneously lowering abundance of potentially pathogenic bacteria. Bifidobacteria are important for SCFA production and supporting healthy immunity.
In light of recent pandemics, we encourage you and your patients to take special care of your intestinal health in order to preserve optimal immune function.
Note: We are in no way insinuating that MegaPreTM, or its components, is a treatment or preventative agent for the current viral pandemic pathogen. There are no studies to support that notion.
However, we do feel that immune support is important now and always, and we understand that most practitioners likely aren’t aware of the importance of oligosaccharide prebiotics in immune health. We believe it is important to provide all beneficial health options to your patients and we are here to help.
Stay tuned to learn more about how our products can help support immunity when we need it most. |
