BetaPRO

Structurally, beta-glucans are short- or long-chain polymers made up of glucose units linked via beta glycosidic bonds. Depending on the bond, isomers are formed. The type of linkage indicates the origin of a given beta-glucan. Fungi beta-glucans have short chains linked via 1.6 bonds while yeast beta-glucans are more extensive, having 1.6 bonds with 1.3 side chains, hence the designation 1.3-1.6.

Vitamin D:

• helps maintain normal immune system function,
• helps in proper calcium and phosphorus absorption/use by the body,
• helps maintain normal levels of calcium in the blood,
• helps maintain healthy bones,
• helps in normal muscle function,
• helps maintain healthy teeth,
• is involved in cell division.

Quercetin:

• has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties,
