The Western world is only recently becoming privy to the health benefits of beta glucan.
However, the Japanese and the Chinese, in their wisdom, have been using it as an immunostimulant to treat different cancers since 1980s.
Human body is designed to take only certain amount of stress, though it may vary from individual to individual.
The body, so weakened by stress loses its immunity in a large measure and this makes it susceptible to tumors.
The immunocytes that act as watchmen against carcinogenic cells' spreading could do with reinforcements and this is where beta glucan can come in handy.
It provide the additional strength to immunocytes.
It stimulates macrophages that defend the body against invading carcinogenic cells.
Since it is a work that is carried out constantly, it is a great help that it provides to the macrophages.
Natural Killer cells are cytotoxic lymphocyte that target cancel cells and kill them.
These too are stimulated by it.
It binds itself to both the cancer fighters and they, in turn, go about seeking the cancer cells in order to destroy them.
It is remarkable that the healthy cells are left untouched.
Bone marrow usually produces an inadequate number of new cells in cancer patients and beta glucan can act as a booster and stimulate more production and a steady and fuller flow is facilitated.
The blood stream can carry the immunocytes into all lymphoid organs.
The antibodies that curb the growth of cancer cells can not be strong enough to fight them all on its own and this sugar molecule beta glucan makes it easy them to do this.
The specific antibodies that form after recognition is made of the tumor cells bind themselves to the cancer cells.
The cancer cells are coated with C3 fragments that are in the antibodies and the coated cells are destroyed.
Beta glucan is extracted mainly from Baker's yeast cell wall.
It is also found in barley and oats.
It is a sugar molecule which is called polysachcharides.
Sodium alginate is rich in it too.
