Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan is a powerful immune-enhancing nutritional supplement. This unique compound stimulates the immune response to help the body defend itself against foreign invaders and foreign substances. Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan activates neutrophils and white blood cells known as macrophages, which surround, trap and engulf foreign invading substances rendering them inactive.

What is Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan ? Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan is a natural substance derived from the cell wall of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisae). It is a carbohydrate consisting of a string of glucose molecules that is highly refined with fats and proteins removed. Technically, it is a carbohydrate made up of a string of glucose molecules that is highly refined with the fats and proteins removed. Alternative sources of Beta Glucan come from oats, barley, mushrooms, and algae. However, for activation of immune response, none compare to Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan extracted from the cell wall of Bakers yeast. Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan is a pure isolate and does not contain enough yeast protein to cause an allergic reaction.

Immune System Activator: Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan activates macrophages and enhances the ability of the body to respond to and fight numerous toxic substances such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
