A Strong Immune System is the First Line of Defense

Understanding the Immune System

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease has compiled a publication entitled: Understanding the Immune System - How It Works

This publication, 43 pages in all, is well worth the time to read and study so that you can truly understand the complexity of your immune system.

Excerpt from "Understanding the Immune System", page 1:
The immune system is amazingly complex. It can recognize and remember millions of different enemies, and it can produce secretions (release of fluids) and cells to match up with and wipe out nearly all of them.
The secret to its success is an elaborate and dynamic communications network. Millions and millions of cells, organized into sets and subsets, gather like clouds of bees swarming around a hive and pass information back and forth in response to an infection. Once immune cells receive the alarm, they become activated and begin to produce powerful chemicals. These substances allow the cells to regulate their own growth and behavior, enlist other immune cells, and direct the new recruits to trouble spots.  source

Glucan 300 Considered the Best

Why is Glucan 300 from Transfer Point considered the best?

Glucan 300® is Tested for…

Purity:
Each batch of Transfer Point’s purified Beta Glucan powder is tested and a Certificate of Analysis is provided. This process ensures that every capsule contains the same pure, potent, effective Beta Glucan that continues to be the number one Beta Glucan in purity. Anything less than a minimum 85% Beta 1,3-D Glucan is left behind for “the other guys”.

Potency:
The power and potency of the purified powder (Glucan 300®) used in Transfer Point’s capsules is accomplished by a painstaking series of patented washes. These “washes” leave only the purist of the active ingredient. This makes all the difference between immune system support operating at full effectiveness and one that is compromised with disease and aging challenges.

Effectiveness:
Effectiveness is measured by biological activity. Our 3rd party research proves that Transfer Point Beta-1,3D Glucan out performs the rest. Transfer Point Beta-1,3D Glucan (Glucan 300®) tested anywhere from 8-160 times more effective than the leading brand names.

…and comes out on top. source

Beta Glucans and Their Immuno-Modulating Properties

According to Dr. Vaclav Vetvicka beta glucans have very powerful immuno-modulating properties which have been known for over 40 years.

What are beta glucans? Beta glucans are polysaccharides present in a number of cereal grains such as barley, oats, rye, wheat, but also in mushrooms, algae, bakers yeast, and even bacteria.

What is meant by "immuno-modulating properties"? Dr. Vetvicka explains that the beta glucan makes the immune system work at its best, as it will correctly identify your "non self" cells and destroy them. In regards to cancer cells, sometimes our immune system does not always recognize them, due to them being able to disguise themselves. Beta glucan helps the immune system to identify them and destroy them. At the same time, the immune system will be able to recognize your "self" cells, and not attack them.

Sources of Beta Glucan

Sources of Beta Glucan:
A glucan, is a glucan, is a glucan. Or, Maybe not. by A.J. Lanigan

There is a lot of confusion about beta glucans in the dietary supplement market. Which type is best? What is the correct dosage? What determines purity? Although there is a tremendous amount of scientific research supporting the ability of beta glucans to support healthy immune function, not all beta glucans are alike.

There are differences in molecular structure that affect the biological activity. Some products containing beta glucan are supported by credible research, others are not. Levels of purity, which impacts efficacy and perhaps safety, varies greatly among products.

Beta glucans are homologous polysaccharides that enhances the innate immune system and provide broad protection against a wide range of pathogenic challenges.

There's an extensive amount of research to support this finding. Numerous preclinical studies and more than 60 human clinical studies found in over 800 papers show different improvements in disease models.

A number of compounds share the name "beta glucan" even though they are in fact very different.

Beta glucan can come from yeast, medicinal mushrooms and cereals, such as oats and barley.

Beta glucans have different molecular structures that in turn impact biological activity in the body.

Studies show that yeast beta glucan is superior for supporting and enhancing immune function. Yeast cell walls contain 5 to 10 times the beta glucan contents as compared to medicinal mushrooms, resulting in a product with more active ingredient.

To understand yeast beta glucans and their biological activity, it's important to know where they come from and how they are manufactured.

Outside of the baker's yeast cell is a fibrillar mannoprotein layer that masks and presents a barrier to exposure of the beta 1,3 glucan to the external environment. Beneath the mannoprotein layer are layers of beta glucan and beta glucan chitin, which is outside the plasma membrane. It's this beta glucan layer that actually provides the shape and structural rigidity of the yeast cell. The beta glucan in yeast is analogous to cellulose in a tree. Both provide structural support.

There are a number of products containing beta glucan on the market today. Which is best? What should customers look for?
Here are some things to consider:
1) Look for products that are backed by credible science.
2) Loof for products that are manufactured by those who insist on a certificate of analysis, which clearly shows the actual potency and purity of the product. Evidence of levels of biological activity remove all doubt as to which compound can and will do the job.
3) Patents that prove the product is the genuine article, not a knock-off product.

So what is the Best Beta Glucan for your immune system?
It is Transfer Point Beta-1,3D Glucan from baker's yeast that has the highest purity of carbohydrates and highest concentration of the 1,3 linkage with 1,6 side linkage.

The Immune Response Enhanced by Beta-1,3D Glucan - pg.3

The Immune Response Enhanced by Beta-1,3D Glucan by A.J.Lanigan - pg.3

When a Class II MHC molecule is presented by the APC, the B cell/antibody process begins. This is the humoral side of the immune system. The antibodies released by the B cells bind to antigens on the surfaces of free-floating viruses. Besides making it easier for macrophages to destroy viruses, this binding signals blood components called complement to puncture holes in the viruses. The Complement System is made up of 25 proteins that work with the antibodies to destroy invaders. They facilitate phagocytosis (eating by phagocytes) or they directly puncture the invader's cell membrane. C3 is the key protein that triggers the "complement cascade". This cascade results into a "membrane attack complex" that literally blasts a hole into the antibody marked prey. Fragments thrown off by this process bring into play mast cells and basophils. By releasing their chemical contents, they produce the rediness, warmth, and swelling of the inflammatory response.

Finally, as the infection is brought under control, the activated T and B cells are turned off by suppressor T cells (a T-8 subset). However, a few "memory cells" (another T-8 subset) remain behind to respond quickly if the same virus attacks again. Immunologists believe that the body fights cancer in much the same way it seeks to eliminate viruses. Further study of the immune system is expected to reveal ways to bolster it, allowing the body to become a more active partner in the fight against cancer. - source

How Much Transfer Point Beta Glucan Should I Take?

How much Transfer Point Beta-1, 3D Glucan should I take?
That depends on your immune system*, what you are dealing with, and your body weight. Everyone's immune system is different. Your immune system is also changing constantly. The information below will give you some guidance.

Current research suggests an effective dosage to range from 2mg-25mg of Beta Glucan per kilogram(kg) of weight. Depending on your current situation, you may benefit taking more or less of a daily dose.

To find your optimum dose, first convert pounds to kilograms (2.2 lbs. = 1 kg). For example, if you weighed 220 lbs., then you would weigh 100kg. This means you would want to take at least 200mg of Beta Glucan everyday, but no more than 2500mg everyday (research shows if you were to take more than 25mg per kilogram, there would be no added benefit).

*Remember, it is your immune system, not Beta Glucan that addresses any problems.

To maximize your uptake of the Transfer Point Beta-1, 3D Glucan, you should always take it on an empty stomach. Wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything. A small amount of pure water should be used to swallow the material. (No coffee, tea, juice, etc.)

Normally, simple sugars would be broken down in the digestive system, converted to glucose, and used for energy. This does not occur with a long chain polysaccharide like Beta-1,3D Glucan. The polysaccharide is carried across the lining of the small intestine into the lymphatic system. It is lined with enterones and enterocytes. They produce a sticky substance on their surface called glycocalix or “the fuzz”. In this glycocalix, binding sites (receptors) sit ready to grab the Beta-1,3D Glucan. From the lymphatic system, the Beta-1,3D Glucan is carried into the blood stream. This process is called endocytosis or pinocytosis. – A.J. Lanigan, Formulator Transfer Point Beta-1,3D Glucan

A Strong Immune System is the First Line of Defense

A strong immune system is the first line of defense against the daily assaults of stress, poor nutrition, and environmental toxins.

A key to defending our body is making sure our immune system is strong and able to handle what comes it's way. There are supplements on the market that claim to do amazing things, but what you want is something that works. Many dietary supplements include nutrients that are based more on marketing buzz than they are on hard science. And even when they are based on science, many formulas don't include enough of the active nutrient to make a difference. You need a supplement that is backed by solid science - not anecdotal evidence, old wives tales, or flawed research.

We have found that Transfer Point's Beta Glucan has the science and research behind it's product, every single batch of Beta Glucan that Transfer Point produces is tested for purity and quality. Each batch is tested by a widely respected, independent, third party laboratory, and the certificate of analysis is printed on every bottle.

Transfer Point's Beta-1,3D Glucan is derived from the cell walls of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and contains over 93% pure Beta 1,3/1,6 glucan carbohydrate complex, with low fat and protein content. Transfer Point's Beta Glucan has been subjected to rigorous studies at numerous universities (Auburn University, Brown University, Cornell University, University of Louisville, University of Massachusetts, University of Minnesota) and has been scientifically proven to maintain and support a healthy immune response. On the other hand, glucans derived from barley, oats, or other grains have been shown to be ineffective as an immune modulator.

The immune-enhancing properties of yeast cell walls were reported in 1939, but it wasn't until the 1960's that researchers identified Beta 1, 3D glucan as the key. Since then, scientists at some of the world's pre-eminent universities and research institutions have conducted more than 800 Beta 1, 3D glucan studies in animals and humans. This research confirms that Beta 1, 3D glucan produces multiple broadscale effects that strengthen the vitality of the immune system.

Dr. Vaclav Vetvicka from the University of Louisville said, "For over 40 years, beta glucans have been thoroughly tested on everything from earthworms to human beings...even plants."

A.J. Lanigan, Manufacturer and Formulator of Transfer Point's Beta Glucan comments, "Nothing can take the place of a healthy immune system. When it functions properly, the body has all the ammunition it needs to ward off disease and combat illness."

Maintaining one's health is critical in periods of stress. The health conscious consumer will know the value of supporting their immune system during these times.

Beta Glucan Helps The Immune System Work Better

Transfer Point Beta Glucan is an immune modulator which helps the immune system work better, it will not either boost or suppress the immune system.

Transfer Point Beta Glucan has been scientifically proven to both maintain and support a healthy immune response.

Transfer Point Beta Glucan works by activating immune cells known as macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer (NK) cells. These are your immune system's first line of innate defense. They are responsible for finding, identifying, and consuming foreign substances in the body. Macrophages also control the activities of other important cells in the immune system.

Recently published studies by Beta glucan and immunology research experts at the University of Louisville, Drs. Vaclav Vetvicka and Jana Vetvickova, demonstrated the superiority of Transfer Point's Beta-1,3D Glucan as compared to others on the market. The science revealed that purity of the product makes all the difference clinically. The purer the Beta glucan, the more profound the clinical results were in the studies presented. Transfer Point's highly purified product was found to be the most active in this group. Here are the results:

• The strongest healthy immune response of phagocytosis and massively high cytokine (IL-2) levels as compared to all other major brands.
• Healthy blood sugar level support
• Healthy cholesterol level suport

All of this was demonstrated at relatively low doses of Glucan # 300 per day as compared to massive doses of other competitors. Transfer Point's Beta-1,3D Glucan packs the biggest support for a healthy immune system at a cost that the competition cannot meet. source
