Respiratory Tract infections: A new approach
Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) remain one of the most prevalent health challenges across all age groups, contributing significantly to antibiotic overuse and resistance. In this session, Andrea Vojcikova presents a novel, evidence-based approach to RTI prevention, focusing on immunomodulation through Imunoglukan P4H®, a β-glucan derived from Pleurotus ostreatus. The presentation explores the clinical efficacy, safety, and practical application of this natural compound in children, adults, and patients with chronic or autoimmune conditions. Attendees will gain insights into how this strategy aligns with current clinical guidelines and supports antimicrobial stewardship.
The session also features a short message from elénzia MEDICAL, the UK’s sole distributor of Imunoglukan®, highlighting their commitment to science, efficacy, and wellness. Attendees will learn about elénzia’s upcoming real-world lifestyle study using the Ingredients For Life™ app, designed to expand evidence beyond clinical trials and engage everyday consumers in immune health research.
