Home Products Research Distributors Contact A Case Where an Immunomodulatory Food was Effective in Conservative Therapy for Progressive Terminal Pancreatic Cancer
A patient with terminal pancreatic cancer accompanied by distant metastasis who was unfit for radical surgical treatment was subjected to treatment with the rice bran arabinoxylan derivative, which is reported to have biological defense action, and PI water, which can enhance blood circulation and transportation of nutrients and drugs (Vehicle action), in addition to low […]
Augmentation of macrophage phagocytosis by modified arabinoxylan rice bran (MGN-3/biobran)
MGN-3/Biobran, modified arabinoxylan rice bran, has been shown to be a potent biological response modifier (BRM) as manifested by stimulation of different arms of the immune system such as NK, T and B cells; however, its effect on macrophages has not yet been studied. The effects of MGN-3 on macrophage function was examined in vitro […]
Effect of Long-term Administration of Immunomodulatory Food on Cancer Patients Cmpleting Conventional Treatments
A study was conducted to investigate the effects of long—term administration of the immunomodulatory food modified arabinoxylan from rice bran (BioBran/MGN-3), on 16 cancer patients, mainly in stage IV with various conventional lesions, who had just undergone conventional cancer treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The main clinical observations were the safety and effect of BioBran […]
Home Products Research Distributors Contact Enhancement of natural killer cell activity of aged mice by modified arabinoxylan rice bran (MGN-3/Biobran).
The present study is aimed to examine the possibility of enhancement of natural killer (NK) cell activity in aged C57BL/6 and C3H mice using MGN-3, a modified arabinoxylan from rice bran. Intraperitoneal injection of MGN-3 (10 mg kg(-1) per day) caused a remarkable increase in the peritoneal NK activity as early as 2 days (35.2 […]
Home Products Research Distributors Contact Experience with Administration of BioBran in Patients with Chronic Rheumatism
The functional food, rice bran arabynoxylan derivative (BioBran), was administered for a long period to patients with chronic rheumatism given mainly symptomatic treatments with steroids, to evaluate its supplementary effect with representative treatments for rheumatism, such as steroids, analgesics, and thermotherapy. Steroids are essential for treatment of rheumatism, but it is desirable to minimize the […]
One Case of a Patient with Umbilical Metastasis of Recurrent Cancer (Sister Mary Joseph’s Nodule, SMJN) Who has Survived for a Long Time under Immunomodulatory Supplement Therapy
A 64-year-old female patient with umbilical metastasis of recurrent colorectal cancer (SMJN) was subjected to complementary medicine using the rice bran arabinoxylan derivative, a food component of BRM activity in addition to chemotherapy in order to maintain the QOL and prolong life. Although the umbilical metastasis is tending to grow, the patient is in a […]
Oral administration of hydrolyzed rice bran prevents the common cold syndrome in the elderly based on its immunomodulatory action
The preventive effect of Hydrolyzed Rice Bran against the common cold syndrome was examined in elderly people. Arabinoxylan derivatives of Hydrolyzed Rice Bran (HRB) were prepared from water-soluble rice bran through partial processing using a carbohydrate complex. Using the water-soluble Rice Bran (RB) as a control, a cross over double-blind study was conducted on both […]
The Clinical Significance of BioBran in the Immunotherapy for Cancer
The clinical treatments for cancer were surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy with anticancer drugs. For surgery, even if the procedure used is highly sophisticated, cancer cells may be transported to other organs via the vascular or lymph system. For radiotherapy, although it destroys cancer tissues it may also damage the surrounding functioning tissues. Anticancer drugs may […]
The Life Prolongation and QOL Improvement Effect of Rice Bran Arabinoxylan Derivative (MGN-3, BioBran) for Progressive Cancer
The present study was designed to deremine whether or not the administration of MGN-3 coud have its apothanasia effect and improve the QOL for 205 progressive and partially metastasized cancer patients in late III-IV stages after surgery. MGN-3 is a rice bran arabinoxylan derivative and known to have immunomodulation activity. The participants in this clinical […]
