Review of the Top Beta Glucan Products

Beta 1, 3-D glucan is unknown to the majority of people. It is one of the most studied immune support materials in modern science. Many health professionals consider it to be one of the most effective immune enhancing substances ever discovered.

Recently, Beta Glucan has been independently tested for immune response against many of the other popular non-glucan immune support products, such as vitamin C+E, wolfberry powder, transfer factor, etc... The results showed Beta Glucan out performed all competitors. To review these independent results for yourself - click here

In the 1940's research by Dr. Louis Pillemer yielded a substance called Zymosan. The immune support properties caught the attention of many medical professionals. Although this material was able to stimulate nonspecific immune response, the specific element that cause the response was unknown.

Dr. Nicholas DiLuzio, a researcher at Tulane University pin pointed the immune enhancing substance as Beta-1, 3-D glucan in the 60's. Glucan, the active component, was isolated from the cell-walls of baker's yeast.

In the 1970's, experiments with Beta glucan in humans began.

Before purchasing any product that claims to contain Beta 1, 3-D glucan we need to review independent test results that allow us an unbiased view.

The independent test results below separate the contents usually found in a product claiming to contain Beta 1, 3-D glucan. These other materials have been shown in tests to reduce reduce the effectiveness of a product claiming to contain Beta 1, 3-D glucan.

Test results conducted at well recognized and accredited laboratories remove any bias that may occur due to financial, marketing or political interests.

The materials are measured in the independent Beta Glucan tests are based on years of peer reviewed medical research the following;

• Beta 1, 3-D glucan (good)
• Ash (bad)
• Fillers (bad)
• Proteins (very bad)

The more of these other materials that are present, the less effective the product. In some cases the active Beta 1, 3-D glucan content amount was so small it was hard to detect.

Samples for these comparisons were purchased directly from the manufacture and sent directly to the laboratory for independent "hands-off" testing.

These tests were conducted at Johns Hopkins University & R-Tech Laboratories. R-Tech is ISO 17025 and ISO 9002 certified using methods approved by the FDA and the USDA. To review the immune enhancement/potentiation capabilities of Beta Force Beta 1, 3-D glucan click here.

Many independent tests on various conditions have been undertaken on the Beta 1, 3-D glucan contained in Beta Force products. The test results have been amazing.

Our next graphs take the results shown in the pie charts you see in the first diagram, the Beta 1, 3-D glucan content, fillers, ash and protein, and places them side-by-side for an easier comparison to show us just how pure the top product is;

Purity: The first thing you discover when you are looking to purchase a Beta Glucan is how much Beta 1,3-D glucan do you get for your hard earned dollar. The mushrooms of ancient oriental lore offer a great bedtime story and the counterfeit imports tell you that they are just as good as the laboratory certified, university tested and US Patented product… but as you can clearly see Beta Force products are the only one that delivers the key active ingredient in a dose that is effective. AND, you support a guaranteed "Made in America" product without the risk of unknown and unwanted contaminants constantly found in imported foreign products.

Effectiveness of Beta glucan products appear to greatly decrease if the purity level falls below 80%. There are other active Beta Glucan linkages, like 2,3 and 3,6. These other linkages add to the total amount of carbohydrate content. The important fact here is it is the active beta 1, 3-d glucan linkage that all the amazing research has been completed on, not the 2,3 and 3,6. So when a product is claiming 95% Beta Glucan and not specifically stating the active beta 1,3-d linkage on the label this is a red flag and buyer beware[1].

Protein is definitely something you do not want a lot of in a Beta glucan product.

Excess protein can lead to adverse effects such as yeast infections. Beta Force has had many a customers purchase other lower cost products only to come back after realizing the products had no beneficial effect and in some cases adverse effects.

Ash is used to increase the weight of a product. It is completely inert and carries no beneficial value. As the studies show, our products have the lowest concentration of ash of any of the five products tested. To review the immune potentiation capabilities of whole glucan particulate click here.

Fillers are another unwanted product we do not want to see in a Beta glucan product we are going to purchase.

Fillers can decrease absorption. In one study the percent dissolution (the time it takes for a capsule to dissolve) for capsules went from 90% dissolved to only 25% dissolved. What was the difference in the capsules? The one that showed a 90% diafter 20 minutes in solution went from 90% percent dissolution did not have stearates. The one that contained stearates showed only a 25% percent dissolution rate. Some fillers may also contain hidden lactose or other allergenic ingredients.

Cost: Value is defined as a fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged. This chart shows how much Beta 1, 3-D glucan you get for your hard earned dollar.

 

 

When purchasing a Beta 1, 3-D glucan supplement don't waste your hard earned money on fillers and other contaminates.

We get the best product for the best value when we buy Beta Force Beta Glucan products.

 

 

 

 

Other Test re-verify quality: Lately, other independent comparison tests have been conducted on purity levels. The results still point to the fact that Beta Force Beta 1, 3-D glucan products still out perform ALL competitors;
