At byMae, we believe in transparency. So, instead of just giving you an ingredient list, we decided to sit down with the three champion members of our formula - Zinc, Selenium and ABB C1® for a frank conversation. We wanted to hear, in their own words, what they do and why their teamwork is so essential.
Welcome to The Roundtable.
byMae (Host): Welcome. Let's get right to it. Zinc, people see your name everywhere. Why are you so essential for a healthy immune system?
Zinc: (Leans forward, straightforward) Look, my job is fundamental. You can't have a strong defense without a solid foundation, and I build that foundation. I support the basic growth and function of the entire immune team—from your first responders like macrophages to your adaptive specialists like T-cells and B-cells. Without me, you can't even field a team. It's that simple.
byMae: Selenium, you're often paired with Zinc. What’s your specific role?
Selenium: (Calm, collected) If Zinc builds the team, I protect it. An immune response is messy. It creates oxidative stress—collateral damage. My job is to run security. I’m the antioxidant bodyguard that protects the cells from that damage, making sure the response is clean and efficient. A team that isn't protected is a team that burns out.
byMae: Which brings us to you, ABB C1®. You're the newcomer. We hear you support immunity training. What is "immunity training," and how is it different from just supporting the system?
ABB C1®: (Confident, energetic) Supporting the system is crucial—you need the builder and the bodyguard. But that's not what I do. I’m the head coach. I don't just support the team; I actively train it. I teach the body's first responders to be smarter and more efficient, so they can handle threats with precision, not panic. It's the difference between having a team and having a winning team.
byMae: So, the final question for the panel. Why this specific combination?
ABB C1®: I'll start. My training is more effective when the team is protected. The science shows that Selenium actually enhances my immune-training power.
Zinc: And when we all work together, we fortify the body's core defenses, making the entire system more resilient. It's a complete system.
byMae: So it's not just a collection of ingredients.
ABB C1®: Exactly. It's a strategy.
Host's Notes: The Science at a Glance
For those who want a closer look at the strategy, here’s a simple breakdown of how this team works in synergy.
|
Ingredient |
Role |
Key Scientific Actions |
|
Zinc |
The Builder |
Supports the growth and function of key innate and adaptive immune cells. |
|
Selenium |
The Bodyguard |
Acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting thyroid function. |
|
ABB C1® |
The Trainer |
A postbiotic that trains the innate immune system for a faster, more balanced response, helps avoid overreactions (like cytokine storms), and supports the gut barrier. |
The Team-Up: It's clear this isn't just a list of all-stars working in parallel; it's a team designed for synergy. The science shows that Selenium actually enhances the immune-training power of ABB C1®, while Zinc and Selenium work together to provide extra reinforcement for the body's core defenses.
This isn't just a collection of ingredients. It’s a scientifically-grounded strategy for building lasting, foundational health.
