Beta-Glucans for Better Immune Health: The Magical and Mysterious Power of Beta Glucan  

Beta-glucans are a type of sugar molecule that has been proven to support immune health and help combat respiratory illness. You may not have heard about them before, but they're actually quite common! They can be found in the cell walls of baker's yeast, oats and barley. Beta-glucans work by binding themselves to white blood cells so that these cells will attach themselves to the lining of your lungs and other areas where viruses or bacteria may reside.

These little molecules pack a lot of power!

Beta-glucans have been studied in humans for over 30 years, and have been proven in numerous studies to be beneficial against respiratory illness. They are especially effective at supporting immune health during the winter months or when you're traveling. They can also be taken year-round to improve energy levels, maintain blood sugar balance, and improve cardiovascular health.

Beta-glucans are especially beneficial for people with asthma or other lung issues because they can help reduce the inflammation that causes symptoms like wheezing, chest tightness or shortness of breath. They also work well to support immune health if someone suffers from chronic bronchitis, emphysema or pneumonia.

Beta-glucans are also beneficial for children or adults with allergies because they can help reduce the inflammation in your sinuses that causes runny nose, sneezing and other symptoms.

Wellmune WGP is probably the most well-studied beta-glucan supplement on the market.
