Naturally occurring in oats, barley, baker's yeast and certain mushrooms, beta glucan is
still relatively unknown. Their benefits, however, have been well documented by the scientific community.
As a natural derivative of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae),
Wellmune WGP® contains a high concentration of beta glucan, which are present in the cell
walls of baker's yeast. Clinically proven and highly purified, a daily consumption of 200 mg
of beta glucan Wellmune WGP® activates the key immune cells called neutrophils.
How does it work?
When Wellmune WGP® is ingested, beta glucan is absorbed in the small intestine, where immune
cells break them down into small fragments. These fragments bind to the most abundant immune
cells in the body, prompting them to activate. The result? Immune cell antimicrobial activity
is increased, thereby enhancing the body's immune response.
What's the recommended intake?
According to clinical studies, daily consumption of 2.5 mg of Wellmune WGP® per
kilogram of body weight has beneficial effects. How can you get this intake? Simple:
by drinking Oasis® Health Break ImmuniforceTM everyday!
In addition to providing two servings of fruit to your daily diet, each delicious
