Our beta glucan is Wellmune WGP 3-6 which is extracted intact from the cell wall of baker’s yeast by our supplier Biothera Inc.

In order to be effective, the beta glucan molecule must bind to the glucan receptor sites on the macrophage cells in the intestinal tract and thereafter to neutrophil cells. These are vital components of the immune system. Only intact and purified beta glucan molecules are able to do this effectively.

Wellmune 1-3, 1-6 Beta Glucans is a pure isolate and does not contain enough yeast protein to cause an allergic reaction. It is safe and non-toxic, and has no known adverse reactions when taken with other pharmacological drugs or supplements.

Our supplier of the patented Wellmune WGP 3-6 ingredient is Biothera, who have conducted extensive clinical trials to prove the effectiveness of this natural ingredient in enhancing the immune system.

Biothera’s patent means that ONLY WGP 3-6 reaches a proven level of purity and effectiveness. Any other 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans ingredient will be below the level of purity to be effective – otherwise it will infringe the patent.

Wellmune WGP 3-6 is listed on the FDA’s GRAS list - Generally Recognized As Safe
