Life Source Basics Beta Glucan - More Value, More Purity

Independent Lab Tests Prove It

It's easy to say one product is better than another. It's a different matter to prove it in independent laboratory tests. Samples of beta glucan products were delivered sealed to an FDA-certified independent laboratory, and were subjected to the same tests. The results speak for themselves.

Results of Actual Amount of Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan per Capsule

Peer-reviewed literature from Harvard and Tulane demonstrates that beta 1,3/1,6 molecular linkages are necessary for macrophage activity. As this chart shows, Life Source Basics beta glucan is proven by independent laboratory testing to deliver the highest dose of beta 1,3/1,6 glucan.

Purity Spells Effectiveness

The cell wall of baker's yeast is the source of beta 1,3/1,6. In order to be effective, the beta glucan molecule must be extensively purified and processed - to remove the mannan, fat and protein contaminants. If this is not accomplished, the beta 1,3/1,6 glucan is covered or masked and cannot bind to the glucan receptor sites on the macrophage cells in the intestinal tract. Any impurities in beta 1,3/1,6 glucan significantly decrease its ability to activate macrophage cells. This chart shows the amount of impurities compared to the active beta 1,3/1,6 glucan for several brands.

Value Is As Important As Purity

How much immune-boosting power can you buy for $1.00 per day? The chart below shows how many milligrams (mg) of the active ingredient (beta 1,3/1,6 glucan) each of the tested beta glucan products delivers for $1.00 per day, based on suggested retail price. This chart illustrates the wide variance in price for the active ingredient, beta 1,3/1,6 glucan in products on the market today.
