Ingredients: Beta glucans
What are beta glucans?
Beta glucans are natural carbohydrates
which have been shown to have general immunostimulatory
properties in animal studies and in vitro analyses
(test tube studies). Among its effects are
macrophage activation, tumor inhibition and decreased
infection rates.
Beta glucans are included in Cordyvant™, a
proprietary combination of glyconutrients which support
the innate immune system.* Cordyvant™ is present
in all Transfer Factor Plus™ products. Beta glucans
are also found in TF RenewAll™,
a powerful healing
and cell renewing gel that provides natural immune protection
for the skin.
