What does Bio-Glucan Plus do?
Beta 1,3/1,6 glucans contained in Pharma Nord Bio-Glucan Plus act as a primer of the innate immune system. As the name indicates, the innate immune system is inborn and serves as the bodys first line of defence against infectious organisms. This is in contrast to acquired immunity which involves the development of antibodies against foreign organisms as a second line of defence. Beta 1,3/1,6 glucans provide a stimulus to activate neutrophils, macrophages, and natural killer (NK) cells of the innate immune system against infectious organisms.
In addition, Vitamin D and Selenium are two nutrients that are known to play an important role in supporting immune function.
Pharma Nord's Bio-Glucan Plus contains Yestimun, a superior source of beta 1,3/1,6 glucans with a dry matter content >85% and alpha-D-mannan content of<2%. The type of glucans used in Bio-Glucan Plus should not be confused with the type of glucans (beta 1,3/1,4 glucans) obtained from cereals such as oats and wheat, which have a different molecular structure and different actions within the body.
