RBAC can work in synergy with other compounds as described in the following figure. It includes (1) natural vitamins D and A, which exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-viral properties, preventing the invasion of coronavirus, (2) regulating immune function and activating NK cells. (3) Now to the opposite, vitamin D deficiency correlates with a reduced number of Natural Killer cells. (4) Patients hospitalized with emergency and serious respiratory problems have an extremely deficient level of Vitamin D.  (Editor’s Note: Research shows that sunshine vitamin D is the most effective source of vitamin D)

According to a statement published in March 2021 in the Spanish journal of Geriatrics and Gerontology, 80% of 200 patients with Covi-19 hospitalization have vitamin D deficiency. In December 2020 an open letter was sent to the world governments signed by a wealth of health, science, and medical experts from the UK, USA, and other European countries calling for immediate widespread increased Vitamin D intake to 4.000 Int. units per day as protection against Covi-19. (Editor: Research shows that sunshine vitamin D is more effective). Now it seems that Rice Bran Arabinoxylan can work in synergy with vitamin D since it has anti-viral, anti-inflammatory properties while both stimulating both the immune function and NK cells.

This is why in my figure Protection against Covid-19, I have included RBAC. Vitamin D deficiency correlates with a reduced number of NK cells and Covid-19 patients have a lower number and activity of NK cells. As I have mentioned the importance of the microbiome to shape our immune response, I believe it is important to give more attention to one’s diet and maybe include some good probiotics first, as a way to protect against or combat disease.

In my book, I recommend the combination of RBAC + probiotics to even further increase the immune system response. One other piece of advice and especially for the ones who want to be vaccinated is to take the product called Nato-NKCP made from fermented soya beans containing proteolytic enzymes secreted by the Bacillus Subtilis var.
