Kerry releases latest research backing postbiotic’s immune health potential

18 Apr 2024 — New clinical research finds that Kerry’s postbiotic ingredient, Wellmune, trains the innate immune system — one of two primary immune system functions. The ingredient trains innate immune cells to use and store energy more efficiently to protect the body and combat potential threats effectively. Wellmune is a proprietary baker’s yeast beta 1,3/1,6 glucan postbiotic. 

Innate immunity involves activating pre-existent mechanisms, including natural barriers (like skin). In contrast, adaptive or specific immunity targets a previously recognized specific microorganism or antigen.
