Beta Glucan is a strong activator of the macrophages and other phagocytic white blood cells.

Macrophages are also involved in detoxification and the release of messenger substances (cytokines) that promote the production of more immune cells. More immune cells means more soldiers to detoxify, clean up garbage and do search and destroy operations targeting malignant cells.

Beta Glucan is basically an immune modulating agent. It works both ways, elevating an underactive immune system and pushing down an overactive one. It acts according to the body's needs. It is not surprising then that it is applicable for autoimmune diseases, conditions in which the immune system is hyperactive.
