BWH-85® Beta Glucan 100mg

In short, Beta Glucan is a natural polysaccharide that is classified as an Immuno-Modulator, meaning it “modulates” (changes) your Immune System to make it as efficient as possible. This fiber-like molecule works by activating every Immune System Cell in the body: Macrophages, Neutrophils, Basophils, Natural Killer Cells, etc.

Macrophages, specifically, trigger a host of immune functions that allow the body to produce the most complete, effective, and appropriate immune response achievable. The activity of the body's immunocytes (Immune Cells) determines how well your Immune System traps and consumes invaders that do not belong in the body.

Once you swallow BWH-85® Beta Glucan capsules, the product enters the stomach. Shortly after, it is taken up into a special region known as the Peyer's Patches. In the Peyer's Patches, there are M cells, which transport the Beta Glucan to immune cells. These immune cells chew up the Beta Glucan and distribute it all over the body. The Beta Glucan fragments bind to Neutrophils, Macrophages, and Natural Killer cells. The binding of Beta Glucan to these cells is only possible with something known as the CR-3 Receptor. The CR-3 Receptor acts like a key unlocking a door. This binding of Beta Glucan with immune cells is what puts them on “high alert,” priming them for action. In about 3 days after taking your Beta Glucan, your immune system will be “fully activated.”

BWH-85® Beta Glucan goes through a rigorous purification process. Once this purification process takes place, only about 10% of a given “batch” meets our 85% minimum purity standard. The “scraps”, so to speak, are sold off and marketed by other companies. In addition, the product has been tested time and time again, proving its efficacy. When compared to other heavily marketed immune system products it comes out on top every single time. These studies are conducted by disinterested third-party researchers at the University of Louisville. In these studies, immune response levels are safely tested on both humans and animals. BWH-85® Beta Glucan is also Non-GMO encased in a Vegan, plant-based HPMC capsule.

BWH-85® Beta Glucan is made in Wisconsin and encapsulated and bottled in other locations in the United States.

BWH-85® Beta Glucan does not contain nor is it manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, corn, milk, egg, fish, nuts, or shellfish ingredients. However, it is produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens, but controls are in place to ensure there is no cross-contamination.

Our highly purified BWH-85® Beta Glucan powder is encased in a plant-based HPMC vegetarian capsule.

Additional Information: Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) is a plant-based polymer derived from cellulose found in plant cell walls. Widely used in pharmaceuticals and food, it offers an alternative to traditional gelatin capsules, making them suitable for vegetarian and vegan preferences. HPMC is considered safe by regulatory agencies such as the FDA and EMA. Produced through a multi-step process involving cellulose modification, it undergoes extraction, alkalization, etherification, purification, and drying to ensure safety and quality for various applications in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

BWH-85® Beta Glucan is actually considered an immunomodulator. For a substance or product to be an immunomodulator, it cannot overstimulate or suppress your immune system. Most products that address the immune system are marketed as “immune boosters,” but that’s actually a misrepresentation of Beta Glucan. This product will never cause overstimulation or harm as it provides a healthy, safe immune response at any dosage. The same cannot be said for typical “immune boosters.” Beta Glucan makes your immune system smarter and stronger, which aids in identifying self and non-self cells better than ever before.

There are numerous ways for consumers to know which beta glucan product is the best. First, you must know the source of the product and where it’s manufactured. BWH-85® Beta Glucan is derived from the cell walls of baker’s yeast and is manufactured in the U.S. Second, know the level of purity of the particular product. The minimum level of purity for our product is 85%, which provides the best immune response possible to the consumer. Finally, check and see if there’s peer-reviewed, disinterested 3rd party research on the product. BWH-85® Beta Glucan has hundreds of studies published by teaching hospitals and major universities like Harvard, Louisville, and Cornell proving its safety and efficacy.

The primary difference between the two products is the amount of BWH-85® Beta Glucan that each contains.

For healthy individuals who want to maintain proper immune response levels, BWH-85® Beta Glucan 100mg will suffice (we recommend 2 Capsules daily).

Another reason to purchase the 100mg is the lower price point of $49.95, versus the $149.95 for the 500mg. Both products allow for Subscribe & Save discounts as well. This information is available on our website, but you may also call our Amazing Customer Experience Specialists (ACES) at 800.746.7640 for more information.

For the Maximum Immune Response Level Dosage, the 500mg product would be needed instead of BWH-85® Beta Glucan 100mg. Nonetheless, taking any amount of BWH-85® Beta Glucan is better for your immune system than any other product on the market.

The only regimen more beneficial for your immunity would be to consume more of BWH-85® Beta Glucan; e.g., taking one BWH-85® Beta Glucan 500mg capsule per 50lbs of body weight each day, which would yield the best immune system one could have.
