Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan is one of the most powerful immune-enhancing nutritional supplements. This unique compound stimulates the immune response to help the body defend itself against foreign invaders and foreign substances. Its mode of action is activating white blood cells known as macrophages, which then surround, trap and engulf the foreign substances rendering them inactive.

Beta Glucan is a plant based compound being derived from the cell wall of the Sacchromyces ceravisiae organism. It is recognized as a long chain polysaccharide molecule consisting of highly purified glucose. It is different than regular glucose in that it is made up of many glucose molecules linked together in a long branched chain with a specific chemical arrangement in the first and third glucose positions. The frequency and nature of the side chains have been shown to be very important for the biological activity of different beta glucans.

It is this form of glucan which possesses superior immune enhancing functions.
