Beta-1,3/1,6 D-Glucan (Beta-Glucans) is a bioactive carbohydrate derived from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as Bakers’ yeast. Scientific studies have shown that Beta-1,3/1,6 D-Glucan supports a healthy immune system through its ability to maintain several aspects of the body’s normal immune functions. NOW Extra Strength Beta-Glucans is completed with ImmunEnhancer, a high molecular weight polysaccharide extracted from the Western Larch tree that has been studied for its ability to promote a healthy immune response.

- Beta-Glucan (C18H32O16)
Beta-glucans are recognized by the innate immune system. These substances increase host immune defense by activating complement system, enhancing macrophages and natural killer cell function. The induction of cellular responses by mushroom and other beta-glucans is likely to involve their specific interaction with several cell surface receptors.
