Cypress Excell Yeast™ MOS:
Mannan Oligosaccharides

Cypress Excell Yeast: MOS is an insoluble Mannan Oligosaccharides and Beta-glucan complex which has been extracted from the cell wall of molasses yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The soluble portions of the yeast cells are removed by a gentle digestion; the remaining insoluble cell wall fraction is then washed and spray dried.

Application:

  • Immune stimulation: the therapeutic effect of glucan has been primarily due to stimulation of the reticulo endothelial system (RES), which in turn produces increased amounts of macrophages that play a key role in the body’s natural immune system. The precise function of the macrophages is to absorb and destroy the invading particles through phagocytosis. Recent studies have demonstrated the beneficial effect of glucan in improving host resistance by enhancing both humoral and cellular immunity to certain malignant tumors as well as to certain bacterial and viral infections (DiLUZIO, 1985; REED and NAGODAWITHANA, 1991).
     
  • Disease control: glucans are one of the most important structural elements of cell walls (ROSENBERGER, 1976), and are known to stimulate defence mechanisms in a range of higher organisms. The studies have demonstrated the therapeutic value of phosphorylated glucans in combating a variety of diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and also in attempting to change the course of certain neoplastic conditons (RAA et al., 1992). Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall is also an important source of MOS, “Mannan oligosaccharides”, that acts in the gut of animals capturing hostile gut-wall-attacking bacteria like E. Coli (MOS locks into hostile bacteria molecular structure and carries them safely outside).
