ValAsta: ​Immune Support Against Viruses and Bacteria

Immune Support with ValAsta

Research supports the idea that astaxanthin has potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory effects to support your immune system. Astaxanthin has additional properties that may be helpful in reducing the complications of pathogens, including bacteria and viruses like COVID-19. Astaxanthin is proven to reduce inflammation at its source, without the potentially harmful side effects of common anti-inflammatories and pain relievers. Astaxanthin has undergone extensive safety testing and has a long history of use in human health studies. 

Astaxanthin possesses antiviral effects by interfering with and stopping how viruses behave and making people sick. Recent analysis indicates that there is a relationship between people’s stress and inflammation levels, related to the triggering of virus infection and its disease complications. 

Many scientists and doctors are interested in providing novel treatments with both anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects as a strategy for preventing the progression of viruses such as COVID-19 from developing into chronic, systemic, or fatal condition.

Oral Antibodies Support with ValAsta​

Many pathogens taking advantage of inhalation and ingestion routes of entry into the body will encounter the mucosal immune system as the body’s first line of defense. Mucous membranes secrete saliva in the mouth, and mucous in the gut and lungs, helping to trap debris and pathogens.  

The two principal antibody classes present in saliva are secretory IgA (SIgA) and IgG, with the IgA to IgG ratio in saliva being five hundred times greater than that found in serum. SIgA binds to pathogens and blocks them from accessing the epithelial cells lining the mouth. This process is called “immune exclusion." Under certain adverse conditions, such as during chronic stress, SIgA levels may drop and increase susceptibility to inhaled and ingested pathogens. 

Astaxanthin has supported SIgA levels in response to varying levels of physical and mental stress. In addition to stress as a mediator of SIgA production, older individuals have reduced SIgA secretion rates compared to their younger counterparts.

Gut Microbes Support with ValAsta​

A balanced and healthy gut microbiome helps support immune function. Akkermansia is a beneficial gut bacterium that encourages turnover of the intestinal mucus layer, which helps maintain the gut’s barrier function. Akkermansia also produces short chain fatty acids that help to regulate the gut immune system to further strengthen gut barrier function. Pre-clinical studies showed that astaxanthin increased Akkermansia to a level 11.7 times greater than was found in the control group. 

While some gut bacteria are beneficial, others may be less welcome. About two thirds of Americans are infected with H. pylori, which is the causative agent of more than 80% of gastric ulcers, according to the CDC. In a clinical study of 132 individuals with functional dyspepsia, astaxanthin supplementation significantly reduced reflux symptoms after four weeks compared to placebo.
