Puritans Pride Beta Glucans 200 mg 60 caplets

Beta-glucans Puritan's Pride Beta Glucans 200 mg are effective immunomodulatory agents widely used in medical practice around the world. The discovery of this group of natural active substances with a minimum of side effects is very important from the point of view of modern medicine. The effectiveness of treatment and prevention of many diseases with beta-glucans is based on correcting the instability of the immune system and has been repeatedly confirmed by many experiments and clinical studies. The most biologically active form of beta-glucans is beta-1,3 / 1,6-glucan , in the molecule of which glucose is bound to positions 1 and 3 , and the molecule also has branches at positions 1 and 6 . Most often, this type of beta-glucans is found in some types of yeasts, bacteria, and fungi (in particular, in oyster mushroom - Pleurotus ostreatus), which is very attractive from the point of view of the sources of their production.

Beta glucans are large molecules that do not undergo enzymatic fragmentation in the gastrointestinal tract. They are captured by cells of the intestinal mucosa and are actively transferred to the submucous layer, where they activate macrophages, and through them - lymphocytes responsible for protecting the endothelium, that is, for local immunity. Due to the repopulation mechanism, activated lymphocytes from the intestinal mucosa are disseminated into the mucous membranes of various organs, thus ensuring their protection from infections.

Thus, beta-glucans activate both local immunity, protecting the body from invasions of antigens, and systemic immunity, which leads to the destruction of foreign genetic material that has already penetrated into the body and the restoration of immune homeostasis. At the same time, the distinctive feature of the immunomodulatory action of beta-1,3 / 1,6-glucan should be emphasized, which consists in an adequate increase in the activity of the immune system without its excessive stimulation, which often causes the occurrence of autoimmune diseases.

The basic properties of beta-glucan (Beta Glucans):

• Activation of local immunity, ensuring the body's defense against invasion of antigens;
• Activation of systemic immunity, which leads to the destruction of foreign genetic material that has already penetrated into the body and the restoration of immune homeostasis.
• Prevention of infectious diseases (sepsis and pneumonia in patients with severe multiple injuries);
• Antioxidant properties (reduction of ischemic, reperfusion damage);
• Prevention of the onset and dissemination of tumors;
• From anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activities;
• The ability to stimulate regeneration processes by activating keratinocytes and fibroblasts;
• Prevention and treatment of recurrent bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic infections in conditions of primary and secondary immunodeficiency of various etiologies;
• Treatment of allergic diseases (allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, atopic eczema);

Thus, it has now been shown that beta-1,3 / 1,6-glucans are multi-vector modulators of the biological reactivity of the body with a significant immunomodulatory potential, which allows the use of drugs based on this polysaccharide for the treatment and prevention of many diseases and pathological conditions.
