IMMUNE 360°

Immune 360 is a food supplement formulated by Biocyte to support the body's defenses against winter aggressions. Its formula combines eight complementary active ingredients, selected to act jointly on both pathways of immunity: the innate response, which is rapid and non-specific, and the adaptive response, which is more targeted and comes into play when innate immunity is insufficient to contain a pathogen.

What distinguishes Immune 360 is precisely this dual-level action logic. Rather than relying on a single ingredient, the formula combines active ingredients of plant and microbial origin, beta-glucans, echinacea, propolis, fermented black garlic, L-lysine with essential micronutrients for immune regulation, such as vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc. One capsule per day for thirty days, during the heart of the winter period, is the recommended dosage.

Immune 360 is primarily for people who want to strengthen their defenses before and during the winter period, for those with proven immune fragility, typically getting sick repeatedly in the same season, and for people prone to recurrent cold sores, for whom L-lysine is a specifically useful active ingredient.

It is recommended to take it as a thirty-day routine, ideally started before the first epidemic episodes or at the first signs of fragility. Its positioning is therefore clearly preventive, which means anticipating rather than reacting when the infection is already established. It should be noted that the product is not recommended for people undergoing anticoagulant treatment (due to garlic), pregnant and breastfeeding women, and people undergoing antiretroviral treatment.

Immune 360 is based on a selection of eight active ingredients with complementary mechanisms. Beta-glucans, derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (standardized M-Gard® extract), directly stimulate innate immune cells by binding to their surface receptors. Echinacea purpurea activates macrophages, enhances their phagocytic activity, and contributes to cytokine production, while also exhibiting antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. Fermented black garlic, meanwhile, supports the proliferation of Natural Killer cells and offers antioxidant action to protect cells from the oxidative stress generated by the immune response.

Propolis activates innate immune cells and improves the effectiveness of the adaptive response, with antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. L-lysine acts on a specific condition: this amino acid reduces the availability of arginine, an essential substrate for the development of the herpes virus. Finally, vitamin C promotes lymphocyte proliferation, antibody synthesis, and cytokine production. Zinc is a cofactor for over three hundred enzymes involved in immune mechanisms, including phagocytosis and cell maturation. Vitamin D, whose receptors are present on the majority of immune cells, modulates the production of antimicrobial peptides and lymphocyte differentiation.

The recommended dosage is one capsule per day, to be swallowed with a glass of water, preferably during a meal. One bottle corresponds to a complete thirty-day routine, a duration consistent with the goal of immune system strengthening throughout the cold season. The vegetable capsule formula is suitable for vegan diets.

For overall support, Immune 360 can be combined with other Biocyte products that act on factors that weaken immunity. Sleep and stress are among the main determinants of an effective immune response: Noctrim LP (sleep) and Stress Gummies (stress resistance, with ashwagandha KSM-66® 300 mg) are consistent supplements to consider in this broader management approach.

Yes. Three of the active ingredients in Immune 360, vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc, have EFSA-approved health claims for the "normal functioning of the immune system." Beyond this regulatory basis, the other active ingredients in the formula (beta-glucans, echinacea, propolis, fermented black garlic) have been the subject of clinical studies and meta-analyses documenting their impact on the frequency and duration of respiratory infections, as well as on the activity of immune cells. The formula acts on both innate and adaptive immunity, providing comprehensive functional coverage.

Immune 360 contains eight active ingredients: yeast-derived beta-glucans M-Gard® (250 mg), Echinacea purpurea (60 mg), propolis (50 mg), fermented black garlic (50 mg), and L-lysine (50 mg), combined with vitamin C (80 mg, 100% NRV), vitamin D (5 µg, 100% NRV), and zinc (10 mg, 100% NRV). Each active ingredient has been selected for its specific role in immune mechanisms and for its complementarity with the overall formula. The capsule is vegetable-based, and the product is suitable for vegan diets.

The immune system is the body's defense mechanism against external pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. It operates in two complementary stages. Innate immunity acts as the first line of defense within hours of contact with a pathogen. It quickly mobilizes non-specialized cells like macrophages, granulocytes, and dendritic cells to contain the infection before it spreads.

When the pathogen load exceeds a certain threshold, adaptive immunity takes over. This secondary response, which takes longer to develop (starting between 12 hours and 1 day after contamination), is highly specific: the body identifies the pathogen and launches a targeted attack via lymphocytes and antibody production. Following this response, immunological memory is established, allowing the body to react more quickly upon subsequent exposure to the same agent.

These two levels of defense are not independent. Innate immunity partly determines the quality and speed of the adaptive response. Supporting one therefore means supporting the other.

Vitamins and minerals play a crucial role in immune function, not an accessory one. Vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc are active cofactors in many defense mechanisms: cell activation, antibody synthesis, intercellular communication, and cytokine regulation. Even a moderate deficiency can significantly impair the quality of the immune response.

The benefit of including them in a multi-active formula is twofold. On the one hand, they cover mechanisms that plant-based active ingredients do not directly target. On the other hand, their dosages, set at 100% of the nutrient reference values, allow for optimal coverage without risk of overdose. The complementary action between botanical active ingredients and essential micronutrients is precisely what gives the formula its broad-spectrum action logic.

A single-active formula targets a specific immune mechanism or pathway. A multi-active formula, provided it is coherently constructed, allows for simultaneously addressing multiple levels of the immune response, both innate and adaptive, while covering the main nutritional factors likely to limit this response. This is the logic that guided the design of Immune 360: each active ingredient was selected for its specific role and its complementarity with the other components of the formula.

This approach offers a concrete advantage during winter: instead of taking multiple supplements separately, an integrated formula simplifies consumption (one capsule per day), reduces the risk of overlaps or interactions, and provides simultaneous action on mechanisms that, in the body, precisely function in synergy.
