$11.95
Beta 1,3/1,6 glucan is derived from yeast cell walls and activates the immune system by triggering the macrophage cells to attack, engulf and destroy invaders to the body. A special receptor site specific to Beta glucans exists on the macrophage, a cell common to all living beings. Much like your automobile key is specific to your car's ignition, and once turned, starts the behicle, Beta 1,3/1,6 glucan binds to this one-of-a-kind receptor site, thus fully activating the macrophage. In addition to literally ingesting foreign invaders, the macrophage is the first link in creating a chain reaction that results in the activation and mobilization of the entire immune system. Numerous scientific studies originating from such prestigious institutions as Harvard Medical School, the Laboratory Immunopharmacology of Microbial Products of Tokyo University in Japan and the University of Michigan exist to attest to the immuno-activating and protective effects of this product.
