Information on Moducare

Moducare is a patented mixture of plant sterols and sterolins developed by R.W. Liebenberg. Sterols and sterolins occur naturally in vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. The supplement, in capsule form, is designed to strengthen the immune system and help with many physical illnesses. There are no reports of side effects, but people who have organ transplants are advised not to take Moducare.

History

• R.W. Liebenberg studied human physiology, chemistry and plants. He discovered the benefits of sterols and sterolins, nutrients from plant fats, while growing up in a South African community. According to Moducare.com, a neighbor gave him a blend of the nutrients to help treat a relative who was dying of prostate cancer; the relative grew healthier after each passing day and eventually recovered from the cancer.

Ingredients

• Moducare uses a proprietary process to secure the mixture of sterols and sterolins. Sterol is a fat found in plants, and sterolin is its glucoside, a sugar derivative. The sterolin is easily destroyed, and without the sterol, the sterolin does not contain the benefits needed for strengthening human immune systems.

Function

• Many vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts contain sterols and sterolins. The most important factor is how much of these nutrients the human body absorbs. Only 5 percent of sterols are absorbed by eating the raw vegetables and fruits, and many freezing and cooking methods completely destroy the fragile sterolins. According to NaturalWayHealth.co.uk, daily intake of Moducare--especially in the elderly, who suffer from poor digestion--ensures that the body absorbs the sterolins at sufficient levels.

Significance

• Moducare is the only supplement on the market with a 100:1 ratio of sterols to sterolins. NaturesNutrition.com explains that the supplement can be taken every three days and can be purchased in most vitamin and health food stores. The supplement exhibits the best known immunomodulatory activity, therefore it is believed to help balance and strengthen the human immune system.

Side Effects

• There are no known side effects of Moducare; however, a person who has undergone an organ transplant should not take the supplement. According to VitaminLady.com, long-term studies involving more than 25,000 people did not reveal any negative side effects.
