Beta Glucan is a dietary supplement that fortifies the body's immune system.* Compared to Mushroom Beta Glucan products that are 12%-18% Beta Glucan, Douglas Beta Glucan is nearly 100% pure.
Beta Glucan supports the production and activity of macrophages, a type of white blood cell that is the immune system's first line of defense.* Macrophages help maintain the body's overall health.
Beta Glucan stimulates the immune system by activating the macrophage cells, powerful, immune cells that engulf foreign invaders and alert the body’s other defenses. By increasing the activity of the macrophage cells, the immune system is thereby made stronger and better able to fight off foreign invaders and health challenges.
Numerous experimental studies have shown that beta glucan activates white blood cells known as macrophages and neutrophils. Beta Glucan activated macrophages or neutrophils can recognize and kill tumor cells, remove cellular debris resulting from oxidative damage, speed up recovery of damaged tissue, and further activate other components of the immune system.
It is a powerful immune enhancer, which also helps reduce total cholesterol levels and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels, as well as raising HDL ("good") cholesterol levels.
Beta Glucan is a fiber-type polysaccharide derived from the cell walls of oat, fiber, yeast, and some mushrooms
