New Product: Beta Glucan, Immune System Superstar

 

When it comes to your health, the best defense is a good offense. Meet your new quarterback: Beta Glucan.

Ever since Bill Henderson began touting the benefits of Beta Glucan in Cancer Free: Your Guide to Non-Toxic Healing, the Co-op's COO, Stephen, has been scouring the planet for just the right source of baker’s yeast-based Beta-1, 3D Glucan.

Well, he found it, and the ever-scrupulous Dr. Dinesh Patel has given the Co-op’s Beta Glucan his stamp of approval.

A true utility player, Beta Glucan protects your heart, modulates blood sugar, activates your immune systems, battles cancer cells, and leaps tall buildings in a single bound - well, almost. Seldom has one supplement done so much for so many! Join us in welcoming Beta Glucan to the Co-op line-up.

A Yeast-Based Formula for Maximum Immune Benefit

Why yeast based, you ask? It's simple, insolubility. Unlike soluble sources like mushrooms and oats, insoluble, yeast-based beta glucan is able to pass through your stomach and small intestine into your lymphatic system.

In other words, yeast-based Beta Glucan doesn’t get absorbed along the way and is fully potent and ready to fight when and where it’s needed most.
