Beta 1,3 D Glucan is considered as part of the family of Beta Glucans which support the immune system. Beta Glucans also support the ability to ward off pathogens and to alleviate allergic reactions, without an auto-immune response from over-stimulation. Beta Glucans have been recommended to people whose body defenses have been weakened by disease conditions, physical and emotional stress, or by prophylactic treatments.
