Beta-glucan is a long-chain polysaccharide composed of D-glucose molecules linked together by specific beta-1,3-glycosidic bonds, with occasional side chains containing beta-1,6-glycosidic bonds that provide branching in the polymer molecule. It possesses the incredible property of immune system activation. The key here is the 1,3/1,6 linkage, as other forms do not have an impact on immunity but rather affect cholesterol and blood sugar regulation. In the body, beta-glucan activates essential components of the immune system, including phagocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, eosinophils, and NK cells (natural killer cells), enabling them to respond more rapidly in recognizing and eliminating harmful pathogenic microorganisms to which we are exposed daily. Studies have shown that beta-glucan increases immune activity by 50-120% within the first 72 hours of consumption.
