Beta Glucan, an immune system stimulant, works differently than many other immune system boosters. Some of the agents may over-stimulate the immune system, which can actually be counterproductive for those with allergies, yeast infections, or autoimmune diseases. Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan by Vitabase boosts the immune system without over stimulating it. It does this through boosting the activity of macrophages, which help destroy harmful material and organisms in the body. This increased activity helps reduce infection and wound recovery time. Studies showed that Beta Glucan reduced the chances of infections forming around wounds.Beta Glucan may also benefit those who suffer from allergies. It can also limit the progression of tissue damage in arthritis. It may help reduce LDL cholesterol and benefit blood glucose levels.
