Beta-Glucans is a powerful supplement to fight off viruses and infections, especially for the autumn and winter months…
Do you have porridge for breakfast? Medical doctors often strongly recommend eating oatmeal for heart health and to help prevent cardiovascular disease. Soluble fibre keeps the heart healthy and can naturally be found in oat bran, beans, fruits, lentils, barley and peas. These foods have been found to help lower cholesterol and slow digestion. Beta-Glucans is the best source of soluble fibre that is healthy for your heart. Not only can Beta-Glucans improve heart health, but it can also stimulate your immune system, helping you to fight off viruses and infections during the autumn and winter months.
What Are the Benefits of Beta-Glucans?
Beta-Glucans supplements have a huge amount of health benefits. They can help to boost our immune system, acting as an immune defence by activating natural killer cell function and improving macrophages. In simple terms, this means that Beta-Glucans can dramatically increase your immune response in not only fighting off common viruses and infections but also far more serious conditions. Beta-Glucans are believed to improve the following health conditions:
- Diabetes
- Crohn’s Disease
- Common flus and colds
- High blood pressure

Beta-Glucans may also help skin conditions where healing is proving difficult. Conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, wounds, bedsores, diabetic ulcers and radiation burns can all be helped by taking a Beta Glucan supplement.
How Does Beta-Glucans Improve Heart Health?
There is concrete evidence by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that Beta-Glucans can improve heart health, after they approved a heart-healthy label for specific foods which have high amounts of Beta-Glucans. Beta-Glucans lowers cholesterol which will reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. It may also help to reduce blood pressure and has been found especially good at lowering blood pressure during a study in the 2007 ‘European Journal of Clinical Nutrition.’ Not only can Beta-Glucans help lower cholesterol but it can also help to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and potentially boost blood sugar control for diabetics. Soluble fibre can slow the absorption of sugars according to Heart UK and can also be used to help control blood sugar levels. More scientific studies need to be carried out before Beta-Glucans can be medically verified to help control blood sugar, but early studies are extremely promising.

How Can Beta-Glucans Boost the Immune System?
It is believed that Beta-Glucans stimulates the immune system to help us fight off disease and infections. However, research and studies are still working to establish exactly how Beta-Glucans effects the immune system and how it can boost the immune system function. The body does not produce Beta-Glucans naturally but research so far has shown that it can have a powerful effect on improving viruses and infections, helping a person to recover quicker.
