People who are exposed to radiation from external sources such as UV or electromagnetic fields. People who are in a chronic disease state or who have diabetes. People with poor nutrition or who consume food preservatives. People under physical or emotional stress. Athletes and those who work out extensively. People with high risk of cardiovascular disease. Animals! To help them overcome illness, stay healthy and live longer.
Q	What is Beta-1, 3-D-glucan?
A	Beta-1, 3-D-glucan is the active ingredient in BetaGold tm. It is derived from the cell wall of Saccharomyces ceravisiae (bakers yeast), making it the best plant-derived Beta-1, 3-D-glucan on the market.
Q	Is Beta-1, 3-D-glucan safe?
A	Beta-1, 3-D-glucan is completely safe, non-toxic, and has no side affects.
Q	I am allergic to yeast; will this cause a problem?
A	Although Beta-1, 3-D-glucan is derived from baker's yeast, it is a pure isolate and does not contain any yeast proteins which cause allergic reactions.
Q	Could Beta-1, 3-D-glucan cause "over-stimulation" of my immune system or auto-immunity?
A	First, we don't say that beta 1,3-D glucan stimulates. This material modulates or brings balance to the immune system. Beta-1, 3-D-glucan merely readies the macrophage. Immune response does not occur until a macrophage captures a foreign invader (ie. bacteria, virus, fungus, and parasite). Once captured, the macrophage displays the invader's "antigen" for recognition by a thymus immune cell, resulting in full immune response. Beta 1,3-D glucan can never "over-stimulate" your immune system.
Q	Are there any drug interactions that occur with Beta-1, 3-D-glucan?
A	Beta-1, 3-D-glucan has no negitive effect on drugs you may be taking and infact it enhances the effect of many antibiotic and cholesterol lowering drugs. There are no known adverse effects with pharmacological drugs. However, if you are taking any medication you should always consult your physician before taking beta 1,3-D glucan.
Q	Are the effects of Beta-1, 3-D-glucan backed by scientific research?
A	Numerous scientific studies originating from such prestigious institutions as Harvard Medical School, Baylor University and Tulane University exist to attest to the immune-activating and protective effects of Beta-1, 3-D-glucan.
Q	Are beta glucans from barley, oats, or other grains as affective as the ones derived from bakers yeast?
A	They have been shown to be ineffective with regard to macrophage activation. Only Beta-1, 3-D-glucan from the cell wall of baker's yeast has been shown to have a potent effect on the immune system. View this analysis done by Dr. Tate. (Need a Adobe(tm) Reader)
Q	How do I know that your Beta-1, 3-D-glucan contains the superior potency you claim on the bottle?
A	The primary component in BetaGold is Beta-1,3-D-glucan at 94.3%. Analysis was done at The University of Georgia, CCRC, located in Athens, Georgia. This study was supported in part by the Department of Energy-funded (DE-FG09-93ER-20097).
Q	Why haven't we heard about this before?
A	For over ten years Beta 1,3-D Glucan has been available, however to purchase one 100 mg capsule of Beta 1,3-D glucan would cost close to $200.00! I This made it cost prohibitive to all but the extremely wealthy.
Q	Will Beta Gold cure THIS, THAT or the OTHER thing?
A	Beta Gold does not cure anything. It simply makes your immune system be the best it can possibly be.It's your immune system which then fights the battle and returns your body to it's healthy state.
Q	Why are antibiotics becoming less effective?
A	Overuse of these products have reduced their effectiveness in two ways. First, since bacteria are life forms, they mutate to survive antibiotic dosing. Over time, the cunning mutation of bacteria render previously useful antibiotics ineffective. Secondly, the over-use of antibiotics renders our our immune system less effective in recovering from disease.
