Beta Glucan 500mg 60 Capsules by BWH Labs delivers 500 mg of BWH-85, a highly purified beta 1,3/1,6 glucan derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae at a minimum 85% purity, providing an extra-strength dose to support normal immune modulation and maintain a healthy adaptive and innate immune response.
Key Benefits of Superfoods, Antioxidants, and Immune-Supportive Ingredients
- Beta 1,3/1,6 Glucan (BWH-85, 500 mg per capsule): Supports normal activation of key immune cells including macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer cells, and T cells through pattern recognition receptor pathways, promoting a balanced and healthy immune response at a higher potency level.
- Extra-Strength BWH-85 Purity Standard (minimum 85%): Supports consistent and reliable immune activity; the 500 mg dose per capsule is designed for individuals with greater immune support needs, delivering five times the active beta glucan content of the 100 mg formulation.
- Innate Immune System Support: Supports the first-line immune response through macrophage and neutrophil activation, promoting normal pathogen recognition and healthy immune surveillance.
- Adaptive Immune System Support: Promotes normal T cell activity and supports the body's capacity to mount a healthy, targeted immune response as part of the adaptive immune system.
- Natural Killer Cell Activity: Supports normal NK cell function, which plays a role in the body's natural immune surveillance and healthy cellular defense mechanisms.
- Immune Modulation Without Overstimulation: Formulated to support healthy immune activation while maintaining normal immune balance, appropriate for daily use under practitioner guidance.
- Body Weight-Based Dosing at Higher Potency: Suggested use of 1 capsule per 55 pounds of body weight supports individualized dosing at the extra-strength level, appropriate for adults with elevated immune support needs.
- Vegetarian Capsule with Minimal Excipients: Delivered in a vegetarian capsule with only vegetable-derived microcrystalline cellulose as an excipient, supporting clean-label compliance and broad dietary compatibility.
Beta 1,3/1,6 glucans interact with dectin-1 and complement receptor 3 (CR3) on immune cells, initiating a cascade of normal immune activation events without triggering an excessive or dysregulated response. The 500 mg dose in this formulation is specifically positioned for adults navigating high-stress lifestyles or those working with a healthcare practitioner to address more significant immune support needs, where the standard 100 mg dose may be insufficient. BWH Labs' BWH-85 standard ensures a minimum 85% purity of the active beta glucan fraction, which is a meaningful distinction from lower-purity preparations and supports predictable, dose-consistent immune modulation at the stated 500 mg level.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both products use the same BWH-85 highly purified beta 1,3/1,6 glucan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The 500 mg formulation provides five times the active beta glucan per capsule and is suggested at 1 capsule per 55 pounds of body weight, compared to 1 capsule per 110 pounds for the 100 mg version. The 500 mg dose is intended for adults with greater immune support needs, as determined in consultation with a healthcare practitioner.
Why should this product be taken on an empty stomach?
Taking beta glucan on an empty stomach, approximately 30 minutes before eating, is suggested to support optimal absorption. The absence of competing dietary macromolecules in the gastrointestinal tract during this window may support more efficient uptake of the beta glucan by intestinal immune cells. This recommendation is consistent with practitioner guidance for this class of supplement.
How is the dose determined for this product?
The suggested use is 1 capsule per 55 pounds of body weight per day. This body weight-based dosing approach allows for individualized supplementation at the extra-strength level. A licensed healthcare practitioner can provide guidance on the appropriate dose based on individual health status and goals.
Is this product appropriate for immunocompromised individuals?
Individuals who are immunocompromised, pregnant, nursing, or taking immunosuppressive or other medications should consult a qualified healthcare provider before use. This product is a practitioner-exclusive formulation and is intended to be used under professional guidance, particularly for individuals with complex health histories or significant immune concerns.
Is this product third-party tested?
BWH Labs manufactures Beta Glucan 500mg in a cGMP-certified facility. For specific testing documentation, certificates of analysis, or purity verification, contact the manufacturer or your authorized distributor directly.
