Immuno-LP 20 is an immunobiotic providing probiotic bacteria from the group of Lactobacillus plantarum, inactivated with heat in the phase of the most intensive proliferation. Such a mechanism of obtaining the product allows to take advantage of probiotic bacteria in an innovative way in order to strengthen the immune response of the organism.

Lactobacillus plantarum is a probiotic bacterium belonging to the family of mesophilic bacteria from the group of Lactobacillus. In natural conditions it is responsible for lactic fermentation, therefore it is present in the highest amounts in fermented products. Its exceptional feature distinguishing it from other probiotic bacteria is the lack of cytochromes, proteins responsible for transporting electrons in the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Thanks to this, its respiratory chain is limited to the stage of hydrogen peroxide synthesis, therefore it exhibits unique bactericidal effect.

Stimulation of the functions of GALT system
In the preparation, Lactobacillus plantarum bacteria were subjected to inactivation with high temperature at the moment of proliferation with the highest intensity. This way of processing probiotic bacteria allows to obtain totally new functionality. They affect gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), stimulating it to produce proteins supporting the activity of the immune system.

Maximal support for the immune system
The product allows to fight with inflammations in the opposite way to this represented by traditional methods based on antibiotic therapy. Instead of working antiseptically, impairing the activity of the whole intestinal microflora (including enterocytes, essential to the proper functioning), it provides the organism with the bacteria with anti-inflammatory effect. Studies show that even is such extreme situations as in the perioperative period, the application of inactivated bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum demonstrates higher effectiveness in the post-treatment inflammations than traditional antibiotic therapy.

Universal support of the immune response
The mechanism of the supplement’s activity is mainly based on the stimulation of the synthesis of three proteins, incredibly important for effective immune response of the organism: interleukins 12 and 2 and interferon β. Interleukins 12 and 2 are responsible in the organism mainly for the creation and differentiation of lymphocytes T, responsible for immune cellular response and cytotoxically active towards pathogens. They also stimulate phagocytosis in the area of inflammation by stimulating the production of monocytes. Interferon β, in turn, commonly known as a drug inhibiting the development of multiple sclerosis, limits the expression of antigens and has antiproliferation effect towards the inflammatory factor, inhibiting the development of the disease.

Immuno-LP20 is a preparation allowing to naturally and effectively boost the functions of the immune system, thanks to which it is recommended in the periods of increased immunological burden. It also constitutes great support of already existing inflammations and autoimmune diseases. The supplement should be of interest to intensively training sportsmen, straining their immune system with numerous, exhausting training sessions.
