Effectiveness and Synergies
of Beta Glucan
The immune-enhancing properties of yeast cell walls were reported in 1939. But it wasn't until the 1960s that
researchers identified beta 1,3 glucan as the immune-stimulating component. Since then, scientists at some of the world's pre-eminent universities and research institutions have conducted
more than 800 beta 1,3 glucan studies in animals and humans. This research confirms that beta 1,3 glucan produces multiple broad-scale effects that strengthen the vitality of the immune
system.
A large body of research exists on the effectiveness of injectable yeast beta 1,3 glucan for various indications. One of the most exciting developments is new data establishing
the efficacy of orally administered yeast beta 1,3 glucan.
Provided below are the official abstracts (reprinted in their entirety) or representative published studies conducted on beta
1,3 glucan, sorted by their applicability to specified conditions. These abstracts are intended to provide a balanced view of the available scientific information related to beta glucan.
