An innovative phytocomplex from the combination of BETALYN® and β-glucans from Saccharomyces Cerevisiae.
Based on the most recent findings, BETALYN® SR, as source of nitrates and and β-glucans, can boost resilience and immunological functions in physically or psychologically stressed people |
Dietary nitrates from beetroot as source of nitric oxide significantly reduce cold symptom severity and global sickness in healthy subjects during stressful period |
β-glucans from saccharomyces increase the production of NO and enhance immunological activity, reducing the number of infections in physically or psychologically stressed people, prone to upper respiratory tract infections |
“There is significant relationship between psychosocial stress and the immunomodulatory activity, leading to an increased susceptibility to cold symptoms and upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). Moreover, this phenomenon has been further associated with a significant decrease of FeNO (fraction of exhaled NO)”
The correlation between good psychological state and high airway NO (FeNO) was investigated through a cross-sectional study aimed to assess the correlation between stress condition, current cold symptoms and FeNO levels during. The findings showed during a semester period of relative low stress with greater social support was associated with higher FeNO and fewer cold symptoms.
