1. Imunoglukan® travels through the digestive system and reaches the small intestine. Being indigestible it is not broken down by the body, thereby maintaining its natural structure necessary for its immuno-modulating activity.

2. In the small intestine it reaches Peyer's patches. These are nodules with a high concentration of immune cells.

3. Immune cells in the Peyer's patch can easily detect Imunoglukan® as receptors on the surface of these are especially sensitive to its presence.

4. Once immune cells detect the presence of Imunoglukan® they are "convinced" that a pathogen has entered the body and begin a cascade of immune activities against viral, bacterial, fungal and parasitic infections.
