Collection: The science of Beta Glucan

Daily Immune Readiness™ is our highly purified Better Way Health™ Beta Glucan.

What is Beta Glucan?

Beta Glucan is the most studied, natural immune system supplement in the world! It is a natural, effective ingredient that activates your innate & adaptive immune system, as well as enhances white blood cell function making your immune system smarter. A smarter immune system will boost your energy, immunity, recovery, and cognition.

How does it work?

Beta glucan is a natural polysaccharide that is classified as an Immuno-Modulator; meaning, it “modulates” (changes) your Immune System to make it as efficient as possible. This fiber-like molecule works by activating Immune System cells in the body: Macrophages, Neutrophils, Basophils, Natural Killer Cells, etc.

Macrophages, specifically, trigger a host of immune functions that allow the body to produce the most complete, effective and appropriate immune response achievable. The activity of the body's immunocytes (Immune Cells) determines how well your Immune System traps and consumes invaders that do not belong in the body.

When the body is confronted with foreign pathogens it sees as non-self, Beta Glucan puts the immune cells on “high alert” to confront the attackers.

Safe and Effective

Baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has been given the FDA's GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) rating, one of the highest safety ratings a substance can achieve. This highly coveted accolade ensures there are no known side effects or adverse reactions associated with taking this product.

Better Way Health Beta Glucan's products are manufactured in ISO 9000 facilities and they strictly adhere to ISPE's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The final product is evaluated by independent third-party agencies, with each lot receiving a Certificate of Analysis.
