Beta Glucan - Powerful Immune Modulator

When it comes to your health, the best defense is a good offense. Meet your new quarterback: Beta Glucan. Beta Glucan offers stellar immune support by helping facilitate phagocytosis, or your body's ability to engulf, or ‘swallow,’ foreign cells and particles. Pretty cool, eh?

We chose an insoluble yeast-based source for our Beta Glucan, in contrast to soluble sources such as oat, barley or mushroom. In layman’s terms, insolubility means our Beta Glucan is able to pass through your stomach and small intestine and into your lymphatic system via the machophages. Once in your lymphatic system, beta glucan is taken up by other immune cells that start releasing cytokines and jump-starting your immune system. In other words, yeast-based beta glucan doesn’t get absorbed along the way, which means it’s fully potent and ready to fight the good fight for you when and where it’s needed most.

  1. Strengthens Overall Immune Function -- Known as a biological response modifier, beta glucan has the ability to activate your immune system proactively. Studies with both humans and animals support the efficacy of beta glucan in increasing the reaction rate of the immune system to challenge.
  2. Supports Heart Health & Normal Cholesterol Levels–Heatlhline.com gives Beta Glucan an "A" for supporting healthy cholesterol levels. Beta Glucan may also promote heart health by helping to maintain appropriate blood pressure.
  3. Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels--The December 2008 issue of Vascular Health Risk Management concluded that dietary intake of beta glucan helped support healthy blood glucose and lipid levels.  There are numerous other studies that offer promising results on the role beta glucan might play in supporting healthy blood sugar levels.

For best results, take beta glucan on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and wait an hour before eating.  Seldom has one supplement done so much for so many! Join us in welcoming Beta Glucan to the Co-op family.

Notes:

  • Beta Glucan has been deemed as GRAS (generally regarded as safe) by the FDA and has no known contradictions, side effects, or toxicity.
  • Although not well studied in humans, caution is advised for the co-use of aspirin and/or NSAIDs with Beta Glucan as severe gastrointestinal damage may result.
Factoids
  • The FDA passed a ruling in 1997 that registered Oat Bran containing an amount of 3 grams beta glucan as the first cholesterol-reducing food. (Quaker Oats, among others, thank you!) While our Beta Glucan is yeast-based, the Co-op strongly encourages you to eat your grains including oats, barley, and wheat.
  • Experiments with Beta 1, 3-D Glucan on humans began in the 1970s. Since then, over two thousand studies have been completed.

Beta Glucan February 26, 2012
Reviewer: Mervyn Harrison from Nr. Goole, East Yorkshire United Kingdom  
Another excellent product, much easier to take than my previous 'tablets', also more than 3x the strength. Price wise there's no comparison, the Cell Nutritional edge it by a considerable margin.

Many thanks, and may OurHealthCoop continue to grow and prosper.

Beta Glucan (Yeast-Based), 700mg, 60 Veg Capsules February 10, 2012
Reviewer: Felix Mosso from Redlands, CA United States  
Since having my spleen removed some years ago, I have worried about my immune system being top-notch.  So I have used Beta Glucan for years and because of blood tests I know that B G does increase ones white cells
