What does “Beta-1, 3D Glucan” mean or signify?

Most people refer to our product as “Beta Glucan.” However, the full name of the product, “Beta 1 3D Glucan” is the full scientific name, which refers to the linkage and bonding of the molecule. There are competing beta glucans with the same or similar name, however, this name in particular has nothing to do with the purity or effectiveness of a beta glucan product. The patented name of our product is Glucan 300 (shown on back of label). This is how you know you’re getting the best immune system product on the market!
