Kirkman® Beta Glucan
This Immune System Supplement comparison study was published in the peer-reviewed* medical journal Open Glycoscience in 2010. The study tested many of the best-known products to determine which ones are the most effective. This study, β 1,3-Glucan: Silver Bullet or Hot Air?, 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 Kirkman® Beta Glucan, manufactured by Nutritional Scientific Corporation, 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.
