"Allergies, cancers or autoimmune diseases are the result of dysfunctional immune systems. At the same time, however, it is clear that the speed of our healing is dependent on a fully functional immunity. Natural remedies and immunostimulators are therefore more important than ever."

Who needs beta 1,3d Glucan?

Anyone who wants to maintain or enhance the effectiveness of his or her immune system; people who experience daily stress; those who want to slow the aging process; people who are susceptible to allergies, autoimmune disease, infectious disease, slow and incomplete healing, and those who suffer from HIV/AIDS, or cancer. People who have impaired immunity from any cause including chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, or persistent viruses, can take beta glucan to bolster their defenses. Those who suffer from chronic degenerative disorders such as diabetes mellitus or chronic inflammation may also benefit from beta glucan’s immune enhancement. Those habitually exposed to environmental pollutants, UV radiation, and other toxins could benefit from the antioxidant effect and potent free-radical scavenger effects. Beta glucan should be taken as a daily supplement because your immune system will fluctuate from day to day. When it’s in its “down” phases of this cycle, you will be prone to illness. Amateur and professional athletes may derive health-building benefits from Beta glucan.
