A well-researched immune-modulating combination that works through the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) to support healthy, balanced immune cell activity. Non-GMO, vegetarian, vegan, kosher, GMP quality assured. 90 veg capsules — 45–90 day supply.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat are beta-glucans and how do they support immune health?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeta-glucans are naturally occurring polysaccharides (complex carbohydrates) found in the cell walls of yeast, mushrooms, oats, and barley. They are one of the most extensively researched natural immune-modulating compounds, with hundreds of published studies demonstrating their ability to support healthy immune function. NOW’s Beta-Glucan is derived from the cell wall of \u003cem\u003eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u003c\/em\u003e (baker’s yeast) and is specifically structured as a 1,3\/1,6 linkage — the configuration shown in research to be most effective at interacting with immune cells. Beta-glucans work primarily through the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) — a specialised immune tissue that lines the intestinal tract and plays a crucial role in the body’s overall immune response. When beta-glucans reach the GALT, they interact with specific immune receptors (including Dectin-1 and complement receptor 3) on macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, neutrophils, and dendritic cells — helping to prime and activate these cells for a more effective immune response. Importantly, beta-glucans are immune \u003cem\u003emodulators\u003c\/em\u003e rather than immune \u003cem\u003estimulators\u003c\/em\u003e — they help the immune system respond more effectively without overstimulating it. This formula is complemented by 160mg of Maitake mushroom powder (\u003cem\u003eGrifola frondosa\u003c\/em\u003e) — a medicinal mushroom also rich in beta-glucans and well-regarded for its own immune-supporting and adaptogenic properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e⚠️ Autoimmune caution\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause beta-glucans modulate immune activity, those with autoimmune conditions (such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, or inflammatory bowel disease) or those taking immunosuppressant medications should consult their healthcare practitioner before use. Beta-glucans may not be appropriate for those whose immune systems are already overactive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWho is this for?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose wanting to support healthy, balanced immune function year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople wanting to support natural killer (NK) cell and macrophage activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose wanting to support immune health through the gut-immune axis (GALT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone wanting a well-researched, non-stimulating immune modulator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThose wanting to combine the complementary immune benefits of yeast beta-glucan and Maitake mushroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegetarians, vegans, and those wanting a kosher immune supplement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeta-1,3\/1,6-D-Glucan 100mg per capsule — from \u003cem\u003eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u003c\/em\u003e (baker’s yeast)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaitake mushroom powder (\u003cem\u003eGrifola frondosa\u003c\/em\u003e) 160mg per capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy immune cell activity — macrophages, NK cells, neutrophils, dendritic cells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks through the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmune modulator — supports balanced immune response without overstimulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplementary dual-action formula — yeast beta-glucan + Maitake mushroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-GMO, vegetarian, vegan, kosher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, corn, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, or tree nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGMP quality assured\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily owned since 1968 — by NOW Foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90 veg capsules — 45–90 day supply at 1–2 capsules daily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFormula\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach veg capsule delivers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeta-1,3\/1,6-D-Glucan Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e (from \u003cem\u003eSaccharomyces cerevisiae\u003c\/em\u003e): 100 mg | Daily Value not established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaitake Mushroom Powder\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eGrifola frondosa\u003c\/em\u003e): 160 mg | Daily Value not established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSupplement facts\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing size: 1 veg capsule | 90 servings per container\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eOther ingredients\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellulose (capsule), cellulose powder, magnesium stearate (vegetable source), silica.
