By now, you know how important it is to support your immunity… and make sure you’re prepared for ANYTHING that might come your way.

But there’s no SINGLE way to do that.

Your immune system depends on a COMBINATION of factors… so it can hit infections from ALL directions.

There’s one ingredient that you should consider adding to your immune-supporting routine

No matter how STRANGE its origins may sound.

Here’s how it can put your natural defenses through boot camp

So you can come out the other side of it FREE of infections!

Whip your immunity into shape

Beta glucan is a miraculous compound found in the cell walls of microorganisms, fungi, certain grains, and even lichen.

Although it’s made up of complex sugars, it’s not a sugar. It’s actually a type of soluble fiber.

And it can be CRUCIAL in the fight against certain types of infections. Healthcare professionals have even used it against swine fluHIV… and autoimmune diseases.

While it DOES boost the “attack mode” of your immune system to fight pathogens… it doesn’t deploy ALL of its ammunition.

It actually REGULATES your body’s disease-fighting processes to hold back some of its power.

Instead of OVERACTIVIATING your immune system… and blowing its entire load… beta glucan is a strict drill sergeant that makes your immune cells toe the line.

That way, they only act as directed.

Beta glucans helps TRIGGER… and even TRAIN… immune cells called macrophages.

Those are the “pathogen-eaters” that also STIMULATE the activity of other types of  immune cells.

That includes your white blood cells, including natural killer cells.

NK cells are a type of lymphocyte that fights off viruses… including those that cause respiratory infections… and produces antibodies.

Beta glucans have even been shown to REDUCE common cold episodes among healthy people during cold and flu season!

And in other research, symptoms were LESSENED in study subjects who did “catch” a cold.

These actions are partially thanks to the release of “good inflammation,” which helps those immune cells communicate with each other.

And beta-glucans helps keep those inflammatory cytokines from becoming EXCESSIVE.

So what’s the secret to effectively fighting off infection… without getting REALLY SICK?

A balanced immune function.

And because it’s a form of prebiotic, beta-glucans also helps BOOST your gut microbiome – an area of your body that’s thought to be inextricably linked to your immunity.

Now, your body doesn’t naturally produce beta-glucans…

So you’ve got to get it from an outside source if you want to shore up your immune system.

Beta glucan is also widely available in supplement form, but pay attention to the source of it.

Many products extract beta glucans from mushrooms… like reishi, shiitake, or turkey tail… or fermented algae

But sometimes the beta glucans come from OTHER ingredients that can cause gut troubles (yeast, cereals, and gluten-containing grains like barley).

There is yeast-derived, beta glucan-like product that actually contains NO yeast – a patented extract called EpiCor. It’s a fermented product made from brewer’s yeast (S. cerevisiae) that can actually FIGHT yeast overgrowth… and BALANCE gut issues.

Look for it on the ingredient list of beta glucans supplements from quality makers… or as part of an immune support formula.

To getting your immune response “just right,”
