PRODUCT INFORMATION

"After a century and a half of research, studies have shown that Beta Glucans act as immunomodulator agents, meaning they trigger a cascade of events that help regulate the immune system, making it more efficient. Specifically, Beta Glucans stimulate the activity of macrophages, which are versatile immune cells that ingest and stimulate other immune cells. Macrophages also release cytokines, chemicals that when secreted enable the immune cells to communicate with one another.

In addition, Beta Glucans stimulate lethal white blood cells white blood cells (lymphocytes) that support the immune system." *

Glucan Elite includes the top quality β(1,3)-Glucan available on the market with BGF-Immune®. The Purity is a minimum 85% 1,3 chain linkage and is produced via a solvent-free fermentation process. You can read more about it on our science and facts page.

Our BGF-Immune® Beta Glucan is fermented from Agrobacterium (sp) R259 and results in linear 1,3 chain linkage rather than branched 1,3 chain linkage commonly observed with yeast extraction. The observed benefits of linear 1,3 chain linkage is slightly higher gene expression with immune related cytokines such as interferon-gamma, IL-6, IL-10 and TTG-alpha than the comparisons with branched Beta-Glucan from yeast. You can review the study findings by clicking here.*

 Please see below for the studies, research, and comparisons supporting BGF-Immune® used in Glucan Elite.

1. Linear chain 1,3-Beta-Glucan 85% vs branched Beta-Glucan (from other sources): As seen from data collected and evaluated, linear chain Beta-Glucan (1,3 linkage) shows a little higher gene expression level with immune related cytokines such as interferon-gamma, IL-6, IL-10 and TTG-alpha than the comparisons with other branched Beta-Glucans*.

2. Beta-1,3-Glucan enhances natural killer cell activity in healthy adults: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study*.

We have not yet studied Glucan Elite’s impact specifically in lowering cholesterol. However, we have formulated Cholesterol Elite which contains both Red Yeast Rice and Aged Garlic Extract and was specifically designed to help support healthy cholesterol levels.

Low doses of Beta Glucan such as 100mg or 250mg containing lower percentages of 1,3 chain linkage will require 3-10x dosages in order to get the same effect as Glucan Elite's product.* This is assuming the bioavailability is comparable, which depends on a host of factors such as stabilization, preservation, expiration, source extraction, etc of the Beta Glucan used. Glucan Elite contains 1000mg of purity and potency(BGF-Immune® Beta Glucan available making it the most bioavailable form of β(1,3)-glucans Glucan available on the market.*

"There are a variety of factors that measure this. Primarily, scientists can measure the amount of immune cells that will respond to and aid in the face of an immune threat or challenge. The average, healthy person’s immune response is around 30-31%. Beta Glucan can help raise this number to 60 or 70%. Beta Glucan also helps increase the production of immune cells therefore making your army of immune cells larger overall. Beta Glucan helps increase the size of your army while making each of the members synergistically work together to be more alert, more active and more effective at eliminating threats."*

CONSUMPTION

We recommend that Beta Glucan be taken for at least 8 weeks before it will be in full effect. Please understand that Beta Glucan doesn’t aim to solve or cure any disease or illness. Rather, it works in a nonspecific manner as an immunomodulator, which may help to support the immune system's function as a whole.*

Yes! β(1,3)-Glucan has been shown to support the immune system in general, even in persons considered to be in good health.*

Our general recommendation is to take two capsules once daily, preferably on an empty stomach or with a light meal to maximize absorption and bioavailability. The high-potency serving recommendation is one capsule of Glucan Elite per 50lbs of body weight, which we recommend anytime you need extra immune support. Lastly, we always recommend checking with your physician before taking any new supplements.
