GcMAF

What is GcMAF?

F Factor

An outline on what GcMAF does
GcMAF is short for Glycoprotein Macrophage Activating Factor. It is a complex protein molecule naturally produced within healthy humans. Also referred to as a ‘multifunctional protein’, GcMAF is responsible for initiating and regulating 11 very important cellular and neurological functions within the body. Of these it is the ability to activate macrophages which eradicate viruses, tumors, antigens and other unwanted cells from the body which is of particular interest. When the body limits/stops naturally producing GcMAF due to a depleted immune system, so too do these 11 important functions, including the activation of macrophages.

Naturally produced within a healthy immune system
It is important to understand that GcMAF itself is NOT a treatment method. This is a very common misconception. In a healthy human GcMAF is produced naturally within the Galt (small intestine). These molecules are then integrated into the overall function of the immune system whose primary role is to protect against illness, disease and unwanted cells within the body.

GcMAF as a replacement therapy for those who can not make it
It is only when the body can no longer produce enough GcMAF on its own, that reintroducing it externally via a bioidentical source, that it can then be considered a ‘replacement therapy’. Unlike other treatment methods, GcMAF is not about introducing a foreign substance to the body – it is simply giving the body back what it should be producing naturally to re-facilitate a healthy immune system.
