Better Way Health Beta Glucan vs Alacer Corp Emergen-C
This Immune System Supplement comparison study was published in the peer-reviewed* medical journal International Clinical Pathology Journal in 2016. The study tested many of the best known products in order to see which ones are the most effective. This study, Comparison of Immunological Properties of Various Bioactive Combinations - Part II consisted of several different assays (i.e., tests) measuring the effectiveness that each product had on varying Immune System Cells.
This particular study was conducted by an immunologist from the University of Louisville named Vaclav Vetvicka, Ph.D. The results below show the comparison data of Emergen-C manufactured by Alacer Corp compared to Beta Glucan by Better Way Health.
*It is important to note that the peer-review process ensures that the Scientists, PhDs, and MDs facilitating this research have no bias toward specific brands, variations, or the companies involved. Their sole purpose is to analyze the material in question and to discover how these products impact the immune system, rather than what the companies that manufacture them claim they are doing.
