What are glucans?
- Glucans are macromolecules and made up of the carbohydrate glucose.
- To the category of glucans belong numerous substitutes, which may be obtained from micro-organisms, in some cases even from more highly developed plants.
- Such glucans differ from one another not only on account of their chemical structure but also as regards their correlations involving structure, properties and effect.
|
| |
Are all ß-glucans effective?
- No, even among (1
 3),(16)-ß-D-glucans exist substantial divergences directly related to the number and length of their branches, which enable the physiological activation of the immune system.
|
| |
What are the effects of (13),(16)-ß-D-glucans?
- According to the latest experimental scientific findings, (13),(16)-ß-D-glucans used in our products and obtained through a patented process are one of the most efficient biotic activators.
- Through the activation of a specific type of white blood cells, the macrophage, (13),(16)-ß-D-glucan bolsters the immune system of both humans and animals.
|
| |
Attention must be paid to what?
- In glucans made up of glucose molecules in so-called 14 linkages, no effects were detected to have been exerted on the immune system.
|
| |
Any side effects or allergies?
- As natural food ingredients, yeast-derived (13),(16)-ß-D-glucans, that are used in our products,
do not have any side effects nor are they known to cause allergic reactions.
