- Maximum stimulation of the macrophage with Beta 1,3,1/6 Glucan
- The body's ultimate self-defense mechanism

Starting in the 1940's, researchers have investigated the nutritional benefits of Beta Glucan. Derived from broken cell walls of yeast, mushrooms, barley and oats, Beta Glucans are capable of reducing unhealthy amounts of serum cholesterol and boosting the immune system. Beta Glucan is a powerful immune stimulator, activating the macrophage in the immune system. Studies have found this product not only has a positive action on the macrophage, but on B lymphocytes, natural killer cells and suppressor T cells. In addition to these important functions, Beta Glucan is an effective antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Beta Glucan is a safe, non-toxic, and orally effective supplement for those who wish to enhance their immune system and lower cholesterol levels. Beta Glucan is the only glucan found effective in preventing coronary heart disease by SIGNIFICANTLY lowering LDL blood cholesterol and increasing HDL (good) cholesterol levels.

FDA ALLOWS WHOLE OAT FOODS TO MAKE HEALTH CLAIM ON REDUCING THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE
[Editor's Note: You would have to eat 6 bowls of Quaker Oats to get the same amount of beta glucan as contained in a single tablet of SupplementSpot's Beta Glucan]
FDA will display at the Federal Register a final rule allow- ing health claims on the labels of foods containing soluble fiber from whole oats (rolled oats, oat bran and oat flour) noting that these foods, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and choles- terol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. The following may be used to answer questions. FDA regulates health claims on food labels under provisions of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 to ensure that claims are accurate and not misleading to consumers. The law allows the agency to authorize a health claim only if there is significant scientific agreement that the claim is true. In allowing this health claim, FDA concluded that the beta- glucan soluble fiber of whole oats is the primary component responsible for the total and LDL blood cholesterol-lowering effects of diets that contain these whole oat-containing foods at appropriate levels. This conclusion is based on review of scientific evidence indicating a relationship between the soluble fiber in these whole oat-containing foods and a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease. Food products eligible to bear the health claim include oat bran and rolled oats, such as oatmeal, and whole oat flour. Oat bran and rolled oats were the two food products named in a petition submitted by The Quaker Oats Company in March 1995. FDA added whole oat flour to this final rule in response to data provided in comments following the agency's publication of the proposed rule on January 4, 1996. The data submitted showed that whole oat flour is nutritionally equivalent to rolled oats and, more importantly, has similar effects on serum lipids. In the final rule, FDA acknowledges that sources of beta- glucan soluble fiber other than from whole oats, and certain soluble fibers other than beta-glucan, are also likely to affect blood lipid levels. However, FDA must await evidence on these other sources before making a judgment on their effects. To qualify for the health claim, the whole oat-containing food must provide at least 0.75 grams of soluble fiber per serving. The amount of soluble fiber needed for an effect on cholesterol levels is about 3 grams per day. Adding whole oat flour to the list of substances eligible to be the subject of a claim means that many products will qualify for the claim, thus making it possible that oat-containing products could be consumed as many as 4 times a day. Examples of how the newly allowed health claim may be used are: "Soluble fiber from foods such as oat bran, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease." or "Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol that include soluble fiber from oatmeal may reduce the risk of heart disease." The words, "Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol" must be included in any such health claim because FDA concluded, after reviewing comments, that consumers might otherwise be misled into thinking that eating a diet high in oats is all that is necessary to reduce the risk of heart disease. The final rule will be published later this week in Federal Register.Quaker Oats, the cereal manufacturer, has a wonderful website clearly explaining how the abundant beta glucan in oatmeal provides remarkable cholesterol lowering power.

Description
There have been over 1,000 research papers on Beta 1,3-D Glucan since the 1960's. Research backed by prestigious institutions such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (see above report), Harvard, Tulane, Baylor, McGill, University of California, Duke, Washington, Armed Forces Radiology Research Institute, and other institutions all demonstrate the high immune activating properties of Beta Glucan. Beta Glucan has been found to stimulate or modulate macrophage cells (leukocytes, or white blood cells).
 Macrophage cells (big eater) play an essential and pivotal role in the initiation and maintenance of the The Immune System and How It Works
Macrophages are the cells that recognize, engulf and destroy any cells, organisms and substances that are not natural or required by the body (bacteria; viruses; fungi; dead, mutated or tumor cells; etc.). It also can produce a number of essential cytokines that are able to stimulate the immune system in general and boost bone marrow production. In addition to having a huge appetite for toxins, macrophages play an essential role in the initiation and maintenance of the immune response. Once a foreign body attacks the body, the macrophages become activated, a chain reaction occurs that mobilizes and amplifies the entire The Immune System and how It Works.
Keep Your Immune System Strong
Our immune system holds the key to our body's health. It protects our bodies against viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc. It is a miraculous complex network of organs that contain cells that recognize & destroy foreign invaders. Some individuals, because of age, chronic infection, poor nutrition, stress, unhealthy lifestyle, or environmental toxins have a compromised immune system. They are susceptible to all of the following problems: arthritis: reduced wound healing capacity; reduced bone marrow proliferation with resulting lowered white cell counts and anemia; increased incidence of cancers; and increased incidence of viral, fungal, and bacterial infection.

Beta Glucan
Beta Glucan (beta 1,3/1,6 glucan): supports the production and activity of macrophages, a type of white blood cell to strengthen your immune system.
Dietary natural product supplement derived from Baker's yeast.
The Purest Beta Glucan Available Bar None!
SupplementSpot Nutrients' Beta Glucan is a dietary supplement that fortifies the body's immune system. Beta Glucan supports the production and activity of macrophages, a type of white blood cell that is the immune system's first line of defense. Macrophages help maintain the body's overall health.
Beta Glucan is a natural compound derived from the cell wall of Baker's yeast. Maximum Beta Glucan™ stimulates the immune system by activating the macrophage cells, powerful, immune cells that engulf foreign invaders and alert the body's other defenses. By increasing the activity of the macrophage cells, the immune system is thereby made stronger and better able to fight off foreign invaders and health challenges.
Beta Glucan Product Comparison - Independent Lab Tests
It's easy to say your product is better than the competition. It's a different matter to prove it in independent laboratory tests. Samples of beta glucan products were delivered sealed to an FDA-certified independent laboratory, and were subjected to the same tests.
Beta glucan needs to be highly purified in order to be effective. Our purification process extensively removes fats, proteins, mannans and other contaminates. This process is costly and many cheaper brands of beta glucan are minimally purified, at best. Some beta glucans are the market are simply baker's yeast, or crude yeast cells walls.
Highly contaminated products will not be effective. Research shows that macrophage and natural killer cells have specific receptors for the beta glucan molecule. If the receptor sites on the beta glucan molecules are masked or covered by contaminants, macrophage and natural killer cells will not recognize the beta glucan molecule. In other words, it will not work.
Peer-reviewed literature from Harvard and Tulane demonstrates that the beta 1,3/1,6 molecular linkages are necessary for macrophage activity. As this chart shows, Maximum Beta Glucan™ Beta 1,3/ 1,6 Glucan is proven by independent laboratory testing to deliver the highest dose of beta 1,3/1,6 glucan.
The chart below shows how many milligrams (mg) of the active ingredient (beta 1,3/1,6 glucan) each of the tested products delivers for $1.00 per day, based on suggested retail price. This chart illustrates the wide variance in price for the active ingredient, beta 1,3/1,6 glucan in products on the market today.
How Much Beta Glucan Can You Buy For $1.00 Per Day?
Purity Spells Effectiveness
The cell wall of baker's yeast is the source of beta 1,3/1,6 glucan. In order to be effective, the beta glucan molecule must be extensively purified and processed - to remove the mannan, fat and protein contaminants. If this is not accomplished, the beta 1,3/1,6 glucan is covered or masked and can not bind to the glucan receptor sites on the macrophage cells in the intestinal tract. Any impurities in beta 1,3/1,6 glucan significantly decrease its ability to activate macrophage cells. This chart shows the amount of impurities compared to the active beta 1,3/1,6 glucan for several brands.
