BREAKING NEWS! SWINE FLU AND BETA GLUCANS

There could be more than 100,000 cases of swine flu each day in the UK by the end of August, according to the government.

The NHS have confirmed that the virus, first identified in Mexico, continues to spread with over 7,500 cases identified in the UK so far.

With the threat of widespread infection being made official, there are some important things we should know:

  • Don't wait till you become ill. Start priming your defences now.
  • Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections.
  • The efficacy of some types of anti-viral agents have been questioned.
  • The best defence against such infections is a healthy immune system.
  • Quality counts - know the source, strength and effectiveness of your chosen supplements, remedies and treatments.
  • Some natural substances are known to promote healthy immune function, one of the most effective being beta 1,3/1,6 glucans, a polysaccharide derived from bakers yeast.
  • Bio-Glucan contains 250mg per capsule of Wellmune WPG, the most active, best documented and cost effective form of beta 1,3/1,6 glucans.

Bio-Glucan acts as a primer of the innate immune system, the body's inborn first line of defence against infection. This is unlike acquired immunity, with which many people are familiar, which involves the development of antibodies against foreign organisms as a second line of defence.

SAFETY

Beta 1,3/1,6 glucans are non toxic and non allergenic, and no significant adverse effects from their use have been reported. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DIFFERENT COMMERCIAL BETA GLUCAN SUPPLEMENTS MAY VARY WIDELY.

QUALITY

Key determinants of effective immune response activation by beta 1,3/1,6 glucans include the number and length of molecular branches, method of processing and uniformity of molecular size. The best characterised commercially available beta 1,3/1,6 glucan in this regard is Wellmune WGP, as contained in Bio-Glucan by Pharma Nord.

BIO-GLUCAN IS AVAILABLE IN 50 CAPSULES FOR £19.95 AND 125 CAPSULES FOR £39.90 HERE
