Effects on the Immune system

Beta Glucan activates the innate immune response selectively where it starts, at the white blood cell called macrophage.

When Beta Glucan activates the macrophage it enhances phagocytosis, the ability of macrophages to engulf and destroy foreign cells and particles, thereby supporting the body’s normal fighting defenses. Macrophages are white blood cells. They are common to all living beings and are often referred to by immunologists as the Pac-Man of the immune system.

It is absolutely necessary for macrophages to be activated in order for them to be able to attack and eliminate foreign and transformed cells.

The application and use of Beta Glucan to support the Immune System cover a wide range of application fields, starting with nutraceutical, animal feed, cosmiceutical applications, as well as the treatment of deseases such as cancer among others. New fields of application are constantly being researched by the firm.

The unique characteristics of ImmuDyne´s UltraPure YBG® make it particularly reliable for clinical studies and long term applications. The high purity and stability of the compound allow for a more efficient dosage of Beta Glucan. Clinical evidence suggests that the optimal doses of Ultra Pure YBG lies between 7.5mg and 15mg per day, depending on the field of application.
