Q&A About Beta Glucan   Date: Wednesday 31 August, 2005
News Summary:
Immutol Beta Glucan

News Content:
Q: What does IMMUTOLTM425/100 contain?

The active and only ingredient in TMMUTOLTM425/lOO is highly purified Norwegian Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan. Norwegian Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan is the result of more than ten million dollars of research by Biotec ASA research which is ongoing at top universities and medical clinics in Europe and the United States. As both a research and manufacturing organization, Biotec ASA, located in Norway, is without question the leading authority on Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan a fact which guarantees the most active Beta Glucan in the world.

Q: What is Beta Glucan?

Beta Glucan is a special kind of polysaccharide found in a variety of substances such as oats, barley, mushrooms, and fungi. Beta Glucans that can activate vital components of your immune system are defined technically as 13-i, 3/1,6 glucans; a macro- molecule with glucose molecules linked in so called B-i, 3 link ages (the backbone) and with branches of glucose molecules attached to this backbone in 13-1,6 linkages. The degree of branching present in the Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan molecule deter mines the level of activity. Beta Glucan found in oats and barley have little or no activity. Beta Glucan found in mushrooms contain branching with only single glucose molecules and produce only a certain degree of immune enhancing activity. On the other hand, Beta Glucan extracted from baker's yeast cell wall (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) --- if extracted properly -- very extensive branching and is capable of producing the most powerful immune enhancing activity of all Beta Glucans. Biotec ASA has developed a reliable patented method to fully expose the active Beta 1,3/1,6 molecule, thus maximizing the immune enhancing ability of this remarkable natural substance.

Q: How exactly does Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan help my immune system?

Because of its unique molecular shape Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan can bind specifically to an activating receptor on the surface of specialized white blood cells called macrophages, somewhat like your uniquely shaped car key has the ability to unlock and "activate" your car Macrophage cells are in the front line of your immune system and once activated are the first to defend against microbial attacks. When your macrophage cells are activated by Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan they become more alert, better able to engulf, kill, and digest any invading microorganism. At the same time activated macrophages secrete signal molecules called cytokines which stimulate the production of new white blood cells and simultaneously make the antibody producing cells more active. In other words, once your macrophage cells are activated they in turn help to activate your entire immune system producing what's called, "total immune response" against any possible invader!

Q: Can Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan have a negative interaction with other drugs?

There are no known negative interactions with any pharmacological drugs and no known side effects!

Q: Can Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan be taken for a specific disease?

Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan dramatically supports the healthy functioning of your immune system by activating your macrophage cells. This means that Beta 1,3 /1,6 Glucan does not fight a specific disease directly, but rather helps to make your most powerful disease fighter (your immune system) function at an optimal level.

Q: Why is it so important to support my immune system?

Your body is under constant attack from virtually millions of deadly microbes every second you exist. Your precious immune system is what keeps these relentless invaders at bay. Your immune system has an incredible array of weapons at its disposal, but so does the enemy. The balance of power is always tenuous at best. Any slight change, such as increased stress, overwork, pollution, poor diet, even weather shifts, can lower your resistance and tip the scales in favor of the enemy. And you know what the enemy can do to you when your immune system is run down or not fully alert! Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan can support the healthy functioning of your immune system by activating key defense components which results in an optimum level of resistance. You might say Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan helps an already good army become a great army whose sole purpose is to defend your life!

Q: If I am currently taking an herbal remedy for my ill ness or any other natural therapy will Beta 1, 3 /1,6 Glucan interfere?

Definitely not! Beta 1,3 /1,6 Glucan works naturally to sup port the healthy functioning of your immune system. It will only complement the effectiveness of any natural therapy.

Q: If I am allergic to yeast will Beta 1, 3/1,6 Glucan cause a problem?

Beta 1, 3/1,6 Glucan is a pure isolate of baker's yeast. It does not contain a significant amount of yeast proteins which are the real cause of yeast allergies.

Q: How long should I take IMMUTOLTM425/100?

To achieve and maintain a strong, peak performing immune system, it is recommended that you take IMMUTOLTM425/100 on a daily basis.
