1-3,1-6 Beta glucans
Age, chronic infection, poor nutrition, stress, or environmental toxins can compromise an individual’s immune system. As a result wound healing capacity may be reduced, white cell counts may drop and incidence of viral, fungal, and bacterial infection may increase. In addition the winter season brings an additional level of challenge.
 Extensive clinical tests have confirmed that 1-3, 1-6 Beta Glucans is one of the most powerful – if not THE most powerful - natural supplement to enhance the immune system.
1-3, 1-6 Beta Glucans are complex polysaccharides composed of glucose molecules extracted and purified from the cell wall of common baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). 1-3, 1-6 Beta Glucans are reported in extensive literature to be an immune stimulator, activating macrophages and neutrophils in the immune system.
Macrophages are cells that recognize, engulf and destroy cells, organisms and substances that are potentially harmful (eg. bacteria, viruses, and fungi). Neutrophils are the most abundant cells in the innate immune system and part of your ‘front line’ of killer cells operating against viral and bacterial threats.
Animal and human cell culture studies have found that 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans can not only increase the activity of macrophages, but also of neutrophils and natural killer cells.

Beta sitosterol
Beta Sitosterol is a natural immuno-modulator derived from seeds and nuts.
Research has shown that phytosterols such as beta-sitosterol can help normalize the function of T-helper lymphocytes and natural killer cells following stressful events. |
