Moducare® Frequently Asked Questions

Moducare® is a patented blend of sterols and sterolins in a clinically proven ratio of 100:1. These important nutrients occur in all plant life. Moducare® helps to bring overall balance to the immune system—enhancing an underactive immune system and modulating an overactive one. A balanced immune system is a strong one. Learn more about why you shouldn’t boost your immune system.

Research on sterols has been underway since the 1920s. Studies using Moducare® have been conducted in those people with rheumatoid arthritis, HIV, general immune function, TB and stress-induced immune suppression. Research has shown quite clearly that the blend of sterols and sterolins, in a 100:1 ratio as found in Moducare®, exhibits the best immune balancing activity. Double-blind, placebo-controlled studies on Moducare® have been published in international medical journals.
When the immune system becomes balanced, some individuals may experience symptoms that indicate the body is trying to rid itself of toxins. These symptoms are temporary and may include digestive problems, rashes, headaches and fatigue.
There are no known interactions with Moducare® and any natural supplements. There is no conclusive evidence to suggest an interaction with medication. There have been some adverse event reports in respect to blood-thinning drugs. An independent toxicology consulting firm assessed these reports for our company and concluded that there is insufficient evidence to suggest that these adverse events arose from Moducare® use.
Moducare® is considered a daily supplement and should be taken as long as you want to aid the immune system to be balanced. Sterols and sterolins do not “fix” the immune system but give it the nutrients it needs to be balanced.
Take on an empty stomach between meals. For maximum absorption do not ingest with foods containing cholesterol (animal fat), including all meat, dairy, eggs, seafood, etc. This does not mean that you eliminate these foods from your diet, only that you take Moducare AWAY from cholesterol-containing foods. Cholesterol has a very similar molecular structure and the two compounds “compete” for absorption. You can take Moducare® with fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, or any beverage which does not contain cholesterol. Adults: Take one capsule 3 times daily or two capsules upon arising and one capsule before bed. Children: 1 capsule per day for children under 5 years; 2 per day for children between 5 and 12 years; and children over 12 years can take the adult dose. For very young children who are unable to swallow a capsule, the capsule can be opened and the contents mixed with applesauce or other fruit/vegetable.
As with many natural supplements, it can take a period of time before you notice an improvement in your health. Although some people notice a difference sooner, we suggest that you take Moducare® for at least 6 to 8 weeks before evaluating whether it is effective for you.

Recipients of foreign organs and tissues, including bone marrow and corneal transplants, are cautioned not to take any immune nutritional supplements. Therefore, Moducare is NOT recommended for transplant patients (People with synthetic replacement/reconstruction including hip, knee, breast, or pacemakers are not included in this warning.) Moducare is not for use by individuals with a history of Type-1 diabetes or multiple sclerosis. Do not use Moducare if you have sitosterolemia.

Health Canada requires caution recommendations for nutritional supplements stating not to take them if you are pregnant or nursing.

Those taking blood thinners should not take Moducare.  Various foods, herbs, and medications can interfere with blood thinners, making the drug more or less effective. It is important to speak with your physician about taking any natural product while on blood thinners.
