Immune System Support
Beta Glucans are one of the keys for NATURALLY boosting your immune system. Beta Glucans have been used in Japan since 1980 to help the immune system. [2]
Beta glucans stimulate the activity of macrophages. Macrophages destroy pathogens in the body. Beta glucans also stimulate lymphocytes / white blood cells to bind to tumors and viruses and release chemicals to destroy it.[3][4]
Heart Health
When you consume oats there is a lot of benefits to your heart. One of the reason is because the beta glucan in oats reduces the cholesterol.[5][6][7]
May Fight Cancer
Beta Glucans help slow down cancer growth. It also prevents it from spreading to other parts of the body. Cancer affects the blood cells which weakens the immunity. Biologic response modifiers (BRM) is a form of immunotherapy as it boosts the immune system. Beta Glucan is one type of BRM.[9][10][11]
Beta Glucans also helps patients undergoing chemotherapy.[8]
Probiotics
The largest immune organ in your body is your gut. Anything that enters your body first goes through your gut. If the good bacteria and your gut is not healthy then you are most likely prone to diseases. The probiotics will help your immune system by providing your gut with good microbiome.
