Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan 500 mg

The active ingredient, Wellmune, is a proprietary form of Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan. Derived from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, these beta-glucans are large polysaccharide molecules. Upon ingestion, they are primarily absorbed by M-cells in the Peyer's patches of the small intestine. Once absorbed, they are taken up by macrophages and transported to immune organs like the spleen and lymph nodes. Here, they are processed and released as smaller fragments that prime innate immune cells, specifically neutrophils. This priming enhances the neutrophils' ability to identify and destroy pathogens without over-stimulating the immune system, providing a balanced, daily defense.

Key benefits include:

• Supports a healthy, balanced immune response
• Enhances neutrophil function for pathogen recognition
• Reduces the severity and duration of upper respiratory tract infections
• Promotes overall immune system resilience during physical stress

The standard dosage is 1 capsule (500 mg) daily. It can be taken with or without food, though taking it with a meal may improve absorption and reduce potential minor gastrointestinal discomfort. Consistency is key; daily use is recommended for optimal immune priming. There are no known severe interactions with common medications, but individuals with compromised immune systems or those taking immunosuppressants should consult a healthcare provider before use. Keep out of reach of children.
