Fermented Beta Glucans

When your immune system is strong and working properly, you’re better able to stay healthy and enjoy life.

A strong immune system helps protect your body on two levels through your first and second lines of defense. Your first line of defense against outside invaders includes Natural Killer (NK) and phagocyte white blood cells.

The initial response of your white blood cells to invaders activates your second line of defense. This targeted system includes T and B lymphocytes and T Helper (TH) cells that can recognize and destroy infected cells.

Unfortunately, as you age, your immune system doesn’t respond to challenges like it did when you were younger.

The goal is to create a healthy, balanced response from your immune system that responds to stressors but doesn’t overrespond. If your immune system becomes out of balance and overactive, it can recognize your own healthy cells as foreign cells and initiate an attack, resulting in an autoimmunity or inflammatory condition.
