Beta-glucans may support immune function by stimulating immune cells like macrophages. The efficacy depends on the beta-glucan content of the source.
Beta-glucans, found in some ferments, are polysaccharides that can stimulate immune cells, primarily macrophages. This stimulation enhances the body's natural defenses, potentially improving the immune system's ability to fight off pathogens and infections. The effectiveness of this immune support depends on the concentration and type of beta-glucans present.
