Beta Bitts - Immune Support for Animals

Beta Bitts - Immune Support for Animals
Every living creature has an immune system that needs to be protected and supported. Transfer Point's Beta Bitts, distributed by BakersYeastBetaGlucan.com, does just that for all types of animals, big, small and in-between.

Beta Bitts is a whole food immune supplement purified from the cell wall of bakers yeast referred to as Glucan #300.

The recommended dosage is 1 capsule for every 50 pounds of body weight.

Beta Bitts comes in one size, 100mg, 60 capsules.

A daily serving before meals will help your pet be better prepared to deal with the effects of aging, illness, pollutants, toxins and genetically engineered foods.

Is Beta glucan (Glucan #300) derived from bakers yeast the most effective type of glucan?
Glucans derived from barley, oats, or other grains have been shown to be ineffective as an immune modulator. 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
