IMOFibe® is a pure organic natural prebiotic fiber from tapioca.
Enhanced and Stronger gut immune system and general immune system function
The colon, instead of being the waste organ — which is what was once taught in medical school — is instead a robust major health organ. It is powered by the thriving bacteria factory which itself is nourished by the prebiotic fibers that we ingest.
Much of the work on prebiotic fiber has been done using the animal model, typically mice, in which administration of prebiotic fiber has been shown to have dramatic and positive effects upon the gut bacteria. Beyond that, positive metabolic effects are seen as well. Prebiotic fibers have the ability to alter the gut microbiota in a positive manner, indicating their promise as a dietary treatment What Do We Know Now About the Health Benefits of Prebiotics? There is even an early study that indicates a 30% increase in the length of survival!
Well, you see the big picture. Eating well with the health benefits prebiotics provide — in addition to the right foods — might make a big difference in your life in many ways.
Beta Glucan from natural yeast
Immune-modulatory effects of dietary Yeast Beta glucan are clinically proven.
Natural yeast Beta Glucans are the most well tolerated type of beta glucans.
β-glucans from yeast are recognized by immune cells within the intestinal mucosa, amongst others by the dectin-1 receptor. Dectin-1 receptor activation induces several immune-stimulating effects important in the defense against invading pathogens. Furthermore, following uptake of β-glucans via dectin-1-stimulated phagocytosis, degradation processes within macrophages may make β-glucans systemically available. However, not all β-glucan preparations have the potential to stimulate these reactions. In order to be able to activate the dectin-1 receptor cascade, β-glucans must comply with specific structural properties. It seems that insoluble, particulate (1,3)-β-glucans with 1,6-β-branches are able to activate this cascade, while soluble ones activate the antibody-mediated complement system via the CR3 receptor. Clinical trials performed with dietary insoluble particulate β-glucans have demonstrated positive effects on the immune system. Therapeutic efficacy results for orally applied soluble yeast β-glucans are not yet available. Whether or not the soluble fraction of the yeast β-glucan, when orally applied, is equally active when influencing the human immune system needs to be proven in confirmative clinical trials. So far, this has only been shown for the insoluble fraction. All the performed human clinical trials demonstrated that intake of β-glucans isolated from brewers’ yeast is very well tolerated. Based on the clinical trials presented in this review, an increased intake of dietary β-glucans might help to improve immune functions.
Omega 3 from Algae powder
Healthy immune – Healthy Brain – Healthy Heart
The effect of omega-3 on the immune system in health and in diseases is unquestionable, especially those caused by excessive inflammatory response. The effect of omega-3 on different components of immune system, especially during child development and in aged individuals is proven.
Omega-3 is also known to reduce the pathological manifestations especially in diseases related to inflammation, allergy and autoimmunity which are the major challenges today.
100% vegan omega-3 rich in EPA and DHA fatty acids.
It can be difficult for vegans and vegetarians, especially, to get enough essential omega-3 fats from food alone. That’s because vegetarian sources of omega-3 provide only ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), a precursor to omega-3s EPA and DHA, which our bodies can’t efficiently convert to the EPA and DHA they need.

Echinacea, also known as the purpleconeflower is a member of theAsteraceae (daisy) family. It is one of the most popular herbal medicines with an estimated 1-4% of the general population using the herb in a given year.
The medicinal properties of Echinacea were first recognized in the eighteenth century by Native American tribes who used the plant to treat snake and insect bites, coughs and colds and typhoid fever.
Echinacea has numerous claimed medicinal properties including: anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant, anti-carcinogenic, anti inflammatory and wound healing properties. Its popularity today is fueled by claims that it has immune stimulating properties and can reduce the severity of symptoms and duration of the common cold and flu, especially if used in the early stages of infection. Although there are around nine species of Echinacea, only three of these have attracted interest regarding their medicinal properties, E. purpurea, E. angustifolia and E. pallida.
Activated Charcoal – cleansing your digestive system
Activated charcoal is a potent natural treatment used to trap toxins and chemicals in the body, allowing them to be flushed out so the body doesn’t reabsorb them.
Activated charcoal works by trapping toxins and chemicals in its millions of tiny pores. The porous surface of activated charcoal has a negative electric charge that causes positive charged toxins and gas to bond with it. It’s important to note that activated charcoal is not charcoal used in your braai. Braai charcoal is loaded with toxins and chemicals, and should never be consumed! Benefits of Activated Charcoal:

More recently, marshmallow has been used to treat certain digestive disorders, including heartburn, indigestion, ulcerative colitis, stomach ulcers and Crohn’s disease. The mechanism by which it soothes sore throats applies to gastrointestinal mucosa as well and regular consumption of marshmallow can help with the pain of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s, and prevent stomach ulcers from perforation. Marshmallow extract is sometimes added to creams and used to treat inflammatory skin conditions, such as eczema and contact dermatitis. Additional uses are currently being investigated. Marshmallow may be a helpful aid to radiologic esophageal examination. There is tentative evidence that marshmallow may also help with respiratory disorders such as asthma. Researchers may soon test marshmallow as a natural alternative to blood sugar management in diabetes. Mechanism of Action Marshmallow works as a mucilage, producing a thick sticky substance that coats membranes. Marshmallow extract contains flavanoids, which contain anti-inflammatory properties. The flavanoids are able to reduce inflammation while the mucilage holds them in place and prevents further damage. The extracts also induce phagocytosis, which is the process in which certain cells engulf bacteria, dead cell tissues or other solid particles. This helps speed up the healing process. The mucilage remains unaltered until it reaches the colon, which is why marshmallow works well on most inflammatory digestive disorders.
Galacto-oligosaccharides – Prebiotics: healthier gut, healthier life
Galacto-oligosaccharides help you restore your good bacteria in your guts very fast. You start feeling the difference in your gut health in just 2-3 days.

GOS has an advantage over other types of prebiotics, (e.g. inulin, oligofructose, fructooligosaccharides (FOS)) as it can give a prebiotic effect at a low dose. Higher doses of prebiotics may increase gas production in some people, so nourishing your good bacteria at the lowest dose can be important.

Andrographis Paniculata
Upper Respiratory Tract Infections
In a research review published in 2017, scientists sized up 33 previously published clinical trials and found that andrographis appears to be beneficial for relieving symptoms of acute upper respiratory tract infections when compared to other herbs, standard care, or a placebo.
Andrographis was also found to shorten the duration of cough, sore throat, and sick days compared to standard care.
Also known as “Indian echinacea,” andrographis is a bitter-tasting herb rich in compounds known as andrographolides. These compounds are have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antioxidant properties. Among other benefits of this herb, it is proven to help the lung function and the general respiratory function.
