Our bodies are continually assaulted by viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi, and environmental toxins. Stress, aging, unbalanced nutrition, environmental pollution, and lack of exercise diminish the effectiveness of the immune system and adversely affect our health. A proper functioning immune system is critical for good health and well-being.
Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan is a powerful immune-enhancing nutritional supplement. This unique compound stimulates the immune response to help the body defend itself against foreign invaders and foreign substances. Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan activates neutrophils and white blood cells known as macrophages, which surround, trap and engulf foreign invading substances rendering them inactive.
Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan and Anti-aging: One of the main elements of the aging process is a lowering of the effectiveness of the immune function. Increased risk of infections, decreased ability to fight diseases, slower wound healing, and autoimmune disorders are often experienced by older people. Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan nutritionally bolsters the immune system, thereby increasing resistance to infections and environmental toxins. Improved immune function generally results in better health, fewer illnesses, less time and money required for medical needs, and greater enjoyment of life. Carrow, D.J. MD.; "Beta-1,3-glucan as a Primary Immune Activator," Townsend Letter; June 1996. Quote: ".beta 1,3-glucan may well be the first and only true anti-aging supplement available to all of us."
Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan Research
Scientific research has shown that Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan has beneficial effects on the immune functions of the body and on biological factors involved in various diseases and disorders. The immune-enhancing properties of Beta Glucan were reported in 1939, but it was not until the 1960's that researchers isolated the immune-stimulating component. Research backed by prestigious institutions such as Harvard, Tulane, Baylor, McGill, Washington, Armed Forces Radiology Research Institute, and other institutions all attest to the immune activating properties of Beta Glucan. Beta Glucan has been extensively researched and documented. Please click on Additional Information under the picture of the Super Immune FormulaT for a comprehensive list of studies. The following are some clinical applications of Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan.
Elevated Cholesterol: Ingestion of Beta Glucans has been shown to improve the pattern of lipids in humans and experimental animals with elevated serum cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia). This "hypocholesterolemic" effect has been demonstrated with dietary use of oats or oat bran and purified Beta Glucans derived from yeast. Studies indicate that Beta Glucans are major factors in lowering total cholesterol and LDL. (Nicolosi, R et al. Plasma lipid changes after supplementation with B-glucan fiber from yeast. Amer J Clin Nutr 70, 208-12 ,1999).
Immune System Activator: Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan activates macrophages and enhances the ability of the body to respond to and fight numerous toxic substances such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. (Czop JK, Valiante NM, Janusz MJ, "Phagocytosis of particulate activators of the human alternative complement pathway through monocyte beta-glucan receptors," Prog Clin Biol Res. 297:287-96, 1989).
Anti-Tumor and Anti-Cancer activity: Studies indicate that Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan may reduce the threat of cancer by slowing down the progression of tumor growth. Research also suggests that cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and or radiation treatment may benefit from Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan . Preliminary studies demonstrate the effectiveness of oral beta glucan, however, more research is needed to confirm existing studies. (Vaclav Vetvicka,PhD, Kiyomi Terayama, MD, Rosemonde Mandeville, MD,PhD, Pauline Brousseau,PhD, Bill Kourikkakis,PhD, Gary Ostroff, PhD, "Pilot Study: Orally- Administered Yeast B1,3-glucan Prophylacticaly Protectc Against Anthrax Infection and Cancer in Mice," JANA, Vol 5, No.1, Spring 2002. Hunter K, Gault R, Jordan F, "Mode of Action of B-Glucan Immunopotentiators-Research Summary Release," Department of Microbiology, University of Nevada School of Medicine, Jan 2001).
Prevention of Infections: Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan is a safe and very potent biological defense modifier (BDM). Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan also has powerful antioxidant attributes, with heightened free-radical scavenging activity to nutritionally enable the immune system to fight back against health invaders. Recent independent experiments in 2000-2001 at the University of Nevada School of Medicine under the direction of Kenneth Hunter, Sc.D. confirmed prior research completed at Baylor College of Medicine in the laboratory of Professor Phil Wyde, Ph.D. as to the oral effectiveness of Beta glucan in activating immunity. Macrophages in both studies significantly increased their immune response (phagocyte) activity in mice fed with Beta-1,3/1,6 Glucan. (Hunter KW, Gault RA, Berner MD.," Preparation of microparticulate beta-glucan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use in immune potentiation," Lett Appl Microbiol;35(4):267-71, 2002).
Injuries, Endurance, and Tissue Repair: Numerous researchers have examined the use Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan f on tissue repair due to wounds from surgeries or accidents. Macrophages not only appear to help removal of dead tissue, but also aid in the promotion and growth of cells in the vicinity of the wound. Please consult with your health care professional about the possible use of Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan prior to strenuous exercise, elective or emergency surgery, or dental surgery. (Tzianabos AO, Cisneros R.I. Channing ,"Prophylaxis with the immunomodulator PGG glucan enhances antibiotic efficiency in rats infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria". Laboratory Brigham and Women 's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, Ann NY Acad. Sci., Oct. 25, 797:285-7, 1996. Browder W., et. al." Beneficial effect of enhanced macrophage function in the trauma patient," Ann Surg, May,1990. Babineau TJ, et. al. "A phase II multicenter, double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of three dosages of an immunomodulator (PGG-glucan) in high-risk surgical patients,"Arch Surg. 1994 Nov. 1994).
Bioterrorism: In addition to antibiotics and vaccines there is a third arm of defense against the threat of bioterrorism - immune modulation. In a recent study conducted by Vaclav Vetvica et al., nutraceutical stimulation of the immune system greatly increased the survival rate of mice infected with lethal anthrax spores. Vetvicka et al. used oral Beta Glucan from a yeast source in mice infected with Bacillus anthracis. Results indicated , significant anthrax-protective, anti-infective , and tumor-protective effects (tumor size and vascularization). Macrophage activation is an effective form of nonspecific immune stimulation. While data provided in the research by Vetvicka and co-workers is preliminary and needs to be confirmed by a larger controlled trial, this is an important pilot study, in that it demonstrates the potential effectiveness of oral Beta Glucan in treating both infectious agents and tumors. (Vetvicka V, Terayama K, Ostroff G et al; "Orally-administered Yeast B1,3-glucan prophylactically protects against anthrax infection and cancer in mice." J of the Amer Nutraceutical Assc; Vol 5-2, pp1-20; Spring 2002).
Radiation Exposure: Myra L. Patchen, M.D., and her team at the U.S. Armed Forces Radiobiology Institute performed studies using animals exposed to lethal doses of radiation. When given Beta Glucan orally after exposure to radiation, 70% of them showed complete protection from the damaging effects of the radiation disease is triggered by medical radiation. Dr. Patchen, along with other scientists, suggest that Beta Glucan should be considered an effective way of rebuilding the immune system and preventing the infection following chemotherapy and radiation in cancer treatment. (Patchen M.L.; "Radioprotective effect of oral administration of beta-1,3-glucan," Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute, Bethesda, MD Research Report, 1989).
Side effects and other medications: Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan is safe and non-toxic, and has no known adverse reactions when taken with other pharmacological drugs or herbal remedies. In fact Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan has been shown to enhance the effect of antibiotics and cholesterol-lowering drugs. However, if you are taking medications or have a medical condition, it is always prudent to check with your physician or health care professional before taking this product. (Tzianabos AO, Cisnerol RL, et al; "Protection against intraabdominal sepsis by two polysaccharide immonumodulators (Beta 1,3/1,6 glucan), J Infect Dis, 178:1,200-6. 1998. Quote: "These data demonstrate the usefulness of [Beta 1,3/1,6 glucan]. in preventing experimental intraabdominal sepsis.and may represent a new adjunct to antibiotic regimens currently used to prevent clinical cases of this disease").
