Immune and Cardiovascular support
DESCRIPTION
Beta 1,3 Glucan, provided by Douglas Laboratories,
provides 50 mg of the dietary fiber beta-glucan, i.e.
repeating units of beta-D-glucose joined together in
beta-(1,3) linkages.
FUNCTIONS
Only recently has western science begun to
investigate those mushrooms recognized through the
millennia for their medicinal properties. Beta 1,3
glucans isolated from these medicinal mushrooms are
thought to have a significant effect on the immune
system'¦s functionality. The beta glucans¡¦ modulation
of the immune system may be mediated by altered
activity of macrophages and T cells, elicited by the
production and expression of various cytokines.
Research has shown that some of these medicinal
mushrooms possess immunomodulatory properties
that may provide improved functional defenses
against microorganisms.
The glucose polymers of mushrooms have also been
shown to promote the growth of beneficial, probiotic
strains of intestinal bacteria. Dietary beta-glucans,
e.g. from oat fiber, have been also been shown to
improve lipid profiles related to cardiovascular
health.
INDICATIONS
Beta 1,3 Glucan capsules may be a useful dietary
supplement for those who wish to improve the
function of their immune system as well as that of
their cardiovascular system.
