Our bodies work around the clock to protect us
from harmful invaders. But sometimes our innate
defenses can’t keep pace with the growing number
of threats we’re exposed to each day. Now Simplexity Health
presents another way to fortify your immune system
so it can better fight to keep you healthy.
ImmuSun, an all-natural supplement, contains
the active ingredient WGP™ beta glucan, a patented
form of the complex carbohydrate beta glucan,
which is found in the cell walls of baker’s yeast
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Scientists discovered
the immune-boosting properties of beta glucan in the
1960s. Since then, they have documented its potential
as an immunity booster in numerous studies
conducted at such prestigious research institutions
as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard
University, and Johns Hopkins University.
These studies have proven WGP beta glucan’s
ability to activate macrophages, a type of white
blood cell that is the body’s first line of defense.
Macrophages circulate throughout the body engulfing
and digesting foreign antigens, thus triggering a
cascading effect that mobilizes the body’s arsenal of
defenses. The result is a stronger immune system.*

What is Beta Glucan?
Beta glucan is a complex carbohydrate
of glucose, a simple sugar. It
can be derived from several
sources, including yeast, bacteria,
fungi, and cereals such as oats,
barley, and rye. Each type of
beta glucan has a unique structure
in which glucose is linked together
in different ways, giving them
distinctive physical properties. For
example, yeast beta glucan is
branched with beta 1,6 and
beta 1,3 glucans, enhancing its
ability to bind and stimulate
macrophages. The chemical structure
of beta 1,3 glucan is
dependent on the source. Based on
extensive published research, it is
widely accepted that the beta 1,3
glucan derived from baker’s yeast
(Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is the
most potent anti-infective beta
glucan immunomodulator. Beta
1,3/1,6 glucan is used in
ImmuSun.
