In order to understand the benefit of the Beta 1,3 / 1,6 Glucan molecule, you must understand the Macrophage cell and its function. The Macrophage cell is often referred to as the "PAC-MAN" of the immune system. These powerful cells circulate throughout our body destroying organisms and substances that do not belong. (bacteria, viruses, fungi, cancer cells, and other harmful invaders) These Macrophage cells do a great job of eliminating harmful cells from our body, and the Beta Glucan in our crème stimulates these cells into action. In addition, the stimulation of macrophages turns on other components of the immune system to fight illness. Beta Glucan is also an antioxidant; it can protect against free radical damage due to sun exposure. Beta Glucan has been studied since the 1950s for its anti-tumor and immunity stimulating properties. Beta Glucan can help lower high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which are risk factors for heart disease and stroke. Anti-Aging properites helps sign aged skin.
