Starch, dietary fiber, and BioBran are classified as polysaccharides. Starch is digested by saliva, pancreatic juice, and intestinal juice, and is absorbed in the small intestine as glucose. Dietary fiber is not digested, and is excreted unchanged. BioBran is known to be partly absorbed directly in the digestive tract, entering the blood stream.
It activates the Natural Killer Cells, T cells, B cells, and macrophages, either directly in the blood, or indirectly via the Peyer's patch of the ileum, BioBran plays an important role in immunomodulation (immunostimulation, anti-inflammation, anti-allergy, antioxidation processes). Overall, it is considered to enhance the body's natural healing abilities, alleviate the adverse drug reactions of chemotherapeutic agents, and improve quality of life.
