Solgar Beta Glucans Immune Complex combines six key nutrients with a berry blend to provide this comprehensive immune support formula.
Key Indications for Use:
Immune-boosting Anti-fungal
Beta 1,3 Glucans
Derived from the cell walls of yeast, Beta1,3 Glucans is an effective free radical scavenger and antioxidant. Additionally Beta1,3 Glucans has been shown to stimulate immune function, specifically by activating the macrophages that defend against foreign invaders such as viruses, parasites and fungi.
Vitamin C (as Ester-C)
Ester-C is made using a proprietary manufacturing process that results in a pH neutral product, which contains the naturally occurring vitamin C metabolites, activating the vitamin C molecules, and making it easier for the body to transport them from cell to cell.
Berry blend
Elderberry extract, blueberry extract and acai berry have all demonstrated significant antioxidant activity. Berries contain several principal constituents, including polyphenols, carotenoids, anthocyanins and vitamin C. Research has shown that berries are proven to have anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.
Zinc
Adequate zinc levels are vital for the functioning of the immune system. Even a slight deficiency of zinc has the ability to cause a reduction in T-cell function and T-cell numbers in the body, reducing the ability to ward off infection.
Selenium
Research demonstrates that low selenium status is associated with weakened function of the thymus (the master gland of immunity) and suppressed white blood-cell activity.
Copper
Copper is a component of the enzyme superoxidase dismutase, which is a powerful antioxidant, produced to protect against free radical damage. It is involved in the maintenance of both innate and acquired branches of the immune system.
Vitamin D3
Almost all cells of the immune system have vitamin D receptors, suggesting that they require vitamin D to function effectively. Vitamin D is also involved in the production of anti-microbial proteins that fight viruses, bacteria and fungi. In addition, T-cells require vitamin D in order to become active.
