Beta Glucans

beta glucansBeta Glucans is formulated to prepare and protect the immune system from repeated and ongoing stressors.

This Beta Glucand formula contains a highly purified, yeast-free beta glucans extract derivative. It works to enhance the immune system strength and efficiency against fungal, bacterial, and viral antigens.

Think of it as giving your immune system some added muscle to do its job better anytime you need it to.

Maintaining a strong immune system can often be a challenge in today’s world with high stress levels, poor diets, lack of sleep and environmental pollutants slowing down or interfering with the proper immune response.

Beta Glucans is formulated to support the immune system with a broad spectrum of activity, attacking a variety of fungal, viral and parasitic invaders. It works by promoting lymphocyte and macrophage production–the cells in your body that destroy infection and remove debris and toxins.

Beta Glucans also has anti-microbial properties making it a great addition to chronic illness treatments or when immunity is down.

This product contains a natural beta 1,3/1,6 glucans derived from the cell wall of a proprietary strain of baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

Specific immune cells called macrophages digest Beta Glucans into smaller fragments and slowly release them over a number of days. The fragments then bind to neutrophils (white blood cells), via complement receptor 3 (CR3).

Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in the body, accounting for 60-70% of all immune cells. The activation of neutrophils by Beta Glucans fragments allows these cells to move faster throughout the body, resulting in a significant boost in immune defense. When the immune system is properly primed, it is able to handle challenges without the spiral of inflammation and sickness that normally takes you out.

• Primes and Mobilizes Key Immune Cells
• Protects Against Immune Challenges Resulting From Ongoing Stress
• Increases Immune Vitality and Mental Clarity
• Protects Against Exercise-Induced Stress

Beta Glucans is formulated with Wellmune WGP®, the most well-researched, single beta-glucans, proven in human clinical trials to prepare and protect the immune system from repeated and ongoing stressors.

Wellmune® WGP is a highly purified, yeast-free beta glucans extract derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is standardized to contain 75% pure beta-glucans and is considered the most effective single nutrient to naturally prime immune cells.

Overview

A strong immune system is integral to overall health and well-being. Maintaining a strong immune system can often be a challenge in today’s world- high stress levels, poor diet, lack of sleep and environmental pollutants can slow down immune response.

Beta Glucans’ primary active ingredient is Wellmune WGP®- a natural beta 1,3/1,6 glucans derived from the cell wall of a proprietary strain of baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Once swallowed, immune cells in the gastrointestinal tract take up Wellmune WGP® and transport it to immune organs throughout the body.

Specific immune cells called macrophages digest Wellmune WGP® into smaller fragments and slowly release them over a number of days. The fragments then bind to neutrophils (white blood cells), via complement receptor 3 (CR3).

Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in the body, accounting for 60-70% of all immune cells. The activation of neurotrophils by Wellmune WGP® fragments allows these cells to move faster throughout the body, resulting in a significant boost in immune defense.

Beta-glucan has been recognized for its support of immune system activity for centuries and has become the subject of over 800 scientific studies. Wellmune WGP® has been shown in clinical studies to have a potent effect on immune responsiveness and to defend the system from the effects of recurring stress. Numerous studies have shown beta-glucan also promotes production of antioxidant enzymes and supports immune function against microbes.

In a study of 54 firefighters given Wellmune WGP® or placebo, those who took Wellmune WGP® experienced better physical health and nearly 25% reported fewer upper respiratory challenges.

A 2013 study on healthy women given 250 mg Wellmune WGP® or placebo also found 10% fewer upper respiratory challenges compared to placebo: better well-being and mental and physical energy levels were also reported.

In another randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study on the effects of four weeks of 250 mg Wellmune WGP® or 250 mg per day of rice flour placebo on the physical and psychological health of those with seasonal discomfort symptoms, Wellmune WGP® improved symptoms, overall physical health and emotional well-being, compared to placebo.

Further research on medical students found a 22% reduction in the total number of days with upper respiratory symptoms in Wellmune WGP® group versus placebo.

Finally, a 28-day lifestyle study found that participants taking Wellmune WGP® reported a 34% improvement in health scores after four weeks compared with the control group as well as increased vigor, and lower fatigue, confusion and tension.

Wellmune WGP® has also been found to provide post exercise protection, to maintain white cell concentrations/ monocytes, improve mucosal immunity, enhance immune responses to a perceived challenge, and improved salivary Iga post exercise.
