Transform your health with NOW Foods Beta-Glucans and ImmunEnhancer: Boost immunity, reduce inflammation and support heart and gut health
Beta-1,3/1,6 D-Glucan (Beta-Glucans) is a bioactive carbohydrate derived from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, known as yeast. Scientific studies have shown that Beta-1,3/1,6 D-Glucan supports a healthy immune system through its ability to maintain many aspects of the body's normal immune functions. NOW® Extra Strength Beta-Glucans is supplemented with ImmunEnhancer™, a high molecular weight polysaccharide extracted from the Western Larch tree, which has been studied for its ability to promote a healthy immune response.
Beta-glucans have been studied for their potential health benefits, particularly in supporting the immune system. They can be recognised by immune cells such as macrophages and natural protective cells, which may help to activate and strengthen the immune response. In addition, beta-glucans have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and may also help support heart health and lower cholesterol levels.
ImmunEnhancer, on the other hand, is a proprietary blend of natural compounds that have been shown to support immune system function. It is derived from the inner bark of the Western Larch tree and contains a combination of arabinogalactans, beta-glucans and other polysaccharides.
Arabinogalactans are complex carbohydrates found in a variety of plant sources. They have been studied for their immune boosting effects and have been shown to increase the activity of natural killer cells and macrophages. They also have prebiotic effects, which means they can help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut.
In addition to beta-glucans and arabinogalactans, ImmunEnhancer also contains other polysaccharides that have immune boosting properties. These compounds are thought to work synergistically together to support the overall function of the immune system.
Beta-Glucans ImmunEnhancer Benefits
- Improved immune system function:
Beta-glucans and ImmunEnhancer may improve immune system function by activating certain immune cells, such as macrophages and natural killer cells. These cells play a key role in identifying and fighting harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. By supporting the activity of these cells, beta-glucans and ImmunEnhancer can help the body better defend itself against infection.
Chronic inflammation has been linked to a number of health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. Beta-glucans have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, meaning they can help reduce inflammation throughout the body. By reducing inflammation, beta-glucans may help lower the risk of developing these and other chronic health conditions.
Free radicals are molecules that can cause damage to cells and tissues, potentially leading to a range of health problems. Beta-glucans have antioxidant properties, which means they can help protect cells against free radical damage. By reducing free radical damage, beta-glucans can help reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
Several studies have suggested that beta-glucans may help lower cholesterol levels, which can be a risk factor for heart disease. Beta-glucans may help lower cholesterol by binding to bile acids in the gut, which can then be eliminated from the body. This process may help reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which could lower the risk of developing heart disease.
The arabinogalactans in ImmunEnhancer have prebiotic effects, which means they can help promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. These bacteria play an essential role in maintaining gut health and can have a positive impact on overall health. By promoting the growth of these beneficial bacteria, ImmunEnhancer can help support overall gut and immune health.
