Benefits of Beta Glucan
Beta glucan is a naturally occurring compound that is formed from sugar molecules, and found in many plant sources. There have been a variety of health benefits linked to beta glucan, specifically with the beta-1 3d glucan form, which is insoluble, and has more biological activity than other types of polysaccharides.
Beta 1 3d glucan is recognized by cells in the immune system, and can modify immune system responses, which is where some of the health benefits with this compound are derived from. The body strengthens the immune system in response to beta glucan, and increases production of white blood cells, as well as helps to reduce allergic responses to non-harmful molecules. There is some evidence showing that beta glucan consumption has assisted in stopping the spread of infectious diseases in certain settings, which makes sense given that this molecule can help to mobilize the immune system to protect the body from invaders.
Taking beta 1 3d glucan has been linked to reduced blood cholesterol concentrations. Scientific studies found that regular consumption of beta glucan molecules is important for regulating blood cholesterol, and making sure that it remains at healthy, normal levels. Blood cholesterol levels are an important factor in maintaining a healthy weight, so beta glucans should be a part of anyone’s diet that is interested in looking after their own health. These fibrous molecules can help to regulate intestinal motility, helping to reduce symptoms of indigestion, and also assist with decreasing low density lipoprotein levels, which can help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Studies on Beta Glucan
Although studies have yet to prove this link in humans, some preliminary studies on animal models show that beta 1 3d glucan could have activities that help to reduce or destroy tumors from cancer. Animals that were administered this amazing molecule showed longer survival times, and humans that took beta glucans from shiitake mushrooms in another study also tended to live longer, although this does not prove a cause-and-effect relationship between beta glucan and curing cancer.
Other health benefits from taking beta glucan have been studied to some extent, and the results are encouraging. Beta 1 3d glucan seems to have a role in helping wounds to heal, helping the body to recover from surgery, reduce damage to tissue in cases of arthritis, and reduce nose inflammation due to allergies. As it is studied more beta glucan will surely reveal more health-related surprises.

Our Beta Glucan goes through a rigorous purification process developed by the creator: AJ Lanigan. Once this purification process takes place, only about 10% of a given “batch” meets our 85% minimum purity standard. The “scraps”, so to speak (the other 90% of the batches), are then sold off and marketed by other companies. In addition, the product has been tested time and time again to prove its efficacy. When compared to other heavily marketed immune system products, our product comes out on top every single time. These comparison studies are conducted by a disinterested third party researcher at the University of Louisville: Dr. Vaclav Vetvicka. In these studies, immune response levels are safely tested on both humans and animals. Our product is also Non-GMO and encased in a Vegan, plant-based capsule.
The immunomodulating aspects of Beta Glucan is what makes it safer and more efficacious than the competition. Studies confirm our Beta Glucan is the most effective immune system product on the market, including even other beta glucans. The patented purification process developed by AJ Lanigan is what makes our Beta Glucan more biologically active and beneficial to consumers.

This is rather easy to answer. Our Beta Glucan has one really big advantage in that it is the most studied natural immunomodulator of them all. The biological studies number in the tens of thousands. For most other products, you may find 10 to 15 studies. If you have 10,000+ papers from all around the world, that cannot be ignored.
Beta Glucan has been studied for over 50 years at major universities and teaching hospitals, all of which are disinterested third party researchers. There are more than 150,000 glucan studies on PubMed.gov and nearly 50,000 studies involving glucans and humans. Our Beta Glucan specifically has been featured in over 20 medical journals, including the prestigious American Journal of Immunology and the Journal of Medicinal Food.
Anyone/anything with an immune system can benefit from taking Beta Glucan, including both humans and pets. Our immune system is our first line of defense and it can always use additional “soldiers.” Keep in mind that our Beta Glucan makes a person’s immune system smarter and stronger, but never causes overstimulation or harm. There are no known side effects.
For maximum immune response, take one 500mg capsule per 50 lbs. of body weight. For example, if you weigh around 150 lbs. you would need to take 3 capsules per day. All capsules should be taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. After taking your capsules, wait 30 minutes before eating or consuming other products. If you forget to take your capsules in the morning it is safe to go ahead and take your Beta Glucan during the day, although the benefits will not be as significant. Remember, these dosage instructions are for maximum immune response, any dose (i.e., 1 capsule per day) is still extremely beneficial.
No, there are no known side effects pertaining to our Beta Glucan. There have been numerous safe human and animal studies showing the safety of Beta Glucan. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given our Beta Glucan GRAS rating, which means Generally Recognized as Safe under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. This certification is extremely hard to achieve especially when it comes to a dietary supplement.
Beta Glucan enhances a person’s immune response in a safe way. The average person has about a 30% active immune response. When someone takes our Beta Glucan it raises that person’s immune response to 60%, and in some cases even more, if they are taking the maximum immune response dosage. This allows for your immune system to recognize cells that are both self and non-self more effectively. I’m sure you can imagine the benefits of walking around with a doubled immune response/immune system!
Beta Glucan is not temperature sensitive. If it is exposed to extreme hot or cold temperatures, the efficacy of the product will not be impacted. However, we do recommend keeping a close eye on your tracking information, which is sent to you via email with all orders. This way you know when your order will arrive and when you will be able to retrieve it from your mailbox or front door.
Our highly purified Beta Glucan powder is encased in a plant-based HPMC vegetarian capsule.
Additional Information: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a plant-based polymer derived from cellulose found in plant cell walls. Widely used in pharmaceuticals and food, it offers an alternative to traditional gelatin capsules, making them suitable for vegetarian and vegan preferences. HPMC is considered safe by regulatory agencies such as the FDA and EMA. Produced through a multi-step process involving cellulose modification, it undergoes extraction, alkalization, etherification, purification, and drying to ensure safety and quality for various applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries.
After 50 years of research, our Beta Glucan has no known side effects, or interactions with a GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) rating by the FDA. It is one of the safest, most effective dietary supplements on the market.
Many women take our Beta Glucan while breastfeeding, to help support their immune system. Babies can also benefit from mom's immune system giving the best response possible.
However, if you have any concerns whatsoever, we recommend consulting with your health care professional before use, as a precautionary measure.
