Natural immune support

Bio-Glucan Plus are tablets that combine SelenoPrecise^® (a patented, readily absorbed selenium yeast) and vitamin D3, both of which contribute to normal immune function. Bio-Glucan Plus also contains beta-glucans with a high degree of purity (≥80%). This source has been selected because the body easily recognizes high-purity glucans. Two tablets of Bio-Glucan Plus contain 250 mg of beta-glucan extract, 50 micrograms of readily absorbed selenium, and 10 micrograms of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol).

Bio-Glucan Plus gives your immune system natural support. Selenium is known to contribute to normal functioning of the immune system due to its role in supporting a large number of important selenium-dependent proteins. It also helps to protect cells from free radicals and oxidative stress.

Patented selenium yeast

The selenium source (SelenoPrecise) used in Bio-Glucan Plus contains more than 20 different organic selenium species, thereby mimicking the diversity of selenium types that you get from a varied diet. SelenoPrecise is readily absorbed in the body with over 40 published studies to support its bioavailability. This widely used selenium yeast is highly reproducible and ideal for scientific research because of the need for reliable and homogeneous results.

Vitamin D3 for further immune support

We use vitamin D3 because it is 56-87 percent more efficient than vitamin D2 when it comes to raising blood levels of vitamin D. Like selenium, vitamin D has also shown to support normal immune function. Vitamin D is involved in the process of cell specialization.

Beta-glucans

Beta-glucans are naturally occuring polysaccharides found, among other places, in the cell walls of fungi, yeasts, algae, and plants such as oats and barley. With beta-glucans, less is sometimes more. What matters is the quality and purity of beta-glucans. The glucans used in Bio-Glucan Plus are quite unique. Bio-Glucan Plus contains 1,3/1,6 glucans from the cell walls of the fungi Saccharomyces cerevisiae and have a different molecular structure than other glucans.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has evaluated the evidence behind selenium and vitamin D and has acknowledged the following claims:

Selenium

• Contributes to a normal immune system
• Contributes to a normal thyroid function
• Contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress

Vitamin D

• Contributes to a normal immune system
• Contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function
• Has a role in the process of cell division and specialization
