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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"dietary--quality-standards\" class=\"_h2_1iy4o_72\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDietary \u0026amp; Quality Standards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"_ul_1iy4o_146\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMinimum 85% purity beta glucan (BWH-85 standard)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDerived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVegetarian capsule\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFree from common allergens, artificial additives, fillers, and preservatives\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eManufactured in a cGMP-certified facility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePractitioner-exclusive BWH Labs extra-strength formulation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e60 capsules per bottle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"frequently-asked-questions\" class=\"_h2_1iy4o_72\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 id=\"how-does-the-500-mg-formula-differ-from-the-100-mg-beta-glucan-by-bwh-labs\" class=\"_h3_1iy4o_88\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow does the 500 mg formula differ from the 100 mg Beta Glucan by BWH Labs?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1iy4o_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBoth products use the same BWH-85 highly purified beta 1,3\/1,6 glucan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
