Beta Glucan
 The action of strengthening the immune system can be said to have a major effect. It has been proven that the immune system declines when skin is exposed to increased stress via various external factors, ageing or drastic changes in the living environment. Using [beta]-glucan to strengthen the immune system, skin resilience and elasticity can be improved by over 60% and the appearance of wrinkles improved by over 50%, with a significant effect on skin turnover, moisture retention and dullness.

Line of Beta Glucan
[beta]-glucan is an immunity boosting agent discovered through medical research in Europe. It is a natural compound obtained from yeast cell walls known as zymosan. In the 1940s, Dr Louis Pillemert discovered that zymosan, a mixture of proteins, sugars and polysaccharides, is extremely effective in controlling the immune system. He found that zymosan boosts the immune response to all types of invasive organisms - viruses, bacteria and
tumours.
Mushrooms have been used for medicinal purposes in the east for centuries but there is something with greater immune-boosting powers baker's yeast. It was reported to have the same immune-boosting ingredients as extracted from mushrooms and data was gathered. Baker's yeast proved to be a good quality source of [beta]-1,3/1,6, which has biological effects, but it was difficult to remove the [beta]-1,3/1,6 molecules without diminishing their effectiveness. More recently these molecules have been isolated in their pure form, making it possible to dearly understand their chemical structure and how they act on the immune system. Because this action is extremely fundamental it exerts a positive effect on many internal functions. Besides boosting resistance to disease, it also accelerates the healing of external wounds (by synthesising protein and collagen), the restoration of tissues and the repair of cells damaged by sunlight or other radiation.

| [beta]-glucan is formally known as [beta]1,3/1,6-D-glucan. In recent years it has been used as a supplement and is known for boosting the body's immunity, which declines with age, from within. The use of immunity-boosting nutritional supplements to revitalise immune functions which have declined for various reasons is believed to be an extremely effective means of boosting the functions that protect against viral, bacterial and fungal infections; boosting membrane immunity, accelerating wound shrinkage and supplementing the effects of vaccines. Strengthening the immune system has major benefits, including reducing the risk of illness and preventing latent infection, and thus is an effective means of maintaining health. |
