Beta glucan is a natural compound, extracted from plants, that
helps to maintain a youthful appearance for skin. This compound
works indirectly in the human immune system by activating the
production of an important part of the immune system called the
Langerhan cells. The Langerhan cells are important both for
over-all health and youthful looking skin, since they protect
the body from major infections and provide a way to repair the
day-to-day wear that comes from age. Unfortunately, over the
course of aging, the production of Langerhan cells is slowed
down by such factors as over-exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet
rays, contact with chemicals and the simple wear and tear of
age. As the human body begins to slow down the production of
these very important immune cells, beta glucan acts to re-start
the system that creates them. This system works in three stages:
an activating compound – beta glucan – the immune cell and the
reaction of the skin’s cells that make up tissues to help your
skin look smooth, health
