Beta D Immun is a dietary supplement with beta-glucans from yeast, mushroom extracts from maitake and reishi, and astaxanthin from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis.
The ingredients used include beta-glucans from yeast, mushroom powder from maitake and reishi, and the natural carotenoid astaxanthin from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Additionally, the product contains vitamin C and zinc, two essential micronutrients.
The plant and yeast components provide a spectrum of naturally occurring accompanying substances, whose composition depends on, among other factors, origin and processing.
Beta-glucans from yeast
Beta-glucans are long-chain polysaccharides that occur naturally in the cell walls of certain yeasts, particularly Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
For dietary supplements, yeasts are cultivated under controlled conditions. The cell walls are then processed to obtain beta-glucans in concentrated form. The exact structure of beta-glucans can vary depending on the manufacturing process.
Maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa)
Maitake is an edible mushroom found in Japan, China, and parts of Europe. It forms large, fan-shaped branched fruiting bodies with a characteristic gray-brown surface.
For powders or extracts, the dried fruiting body is ground. Maitake contains naturally occurring polysaccharides as well as other mushroom-specific accompanying substances.
Reishi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum)
Reishi preferably grows on old deciduous trees and has been described for a long time in various Asian regions. The mushroom has a reddish-brown, lacquer-like surface.
For further processing, the fruiting body is dried, powdered, and then processed under defined conditions. The composition of secondary ingredients can vary depending on origin and cultivation environment.
Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid produced by the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Under intense sunlight or other environmental conditions, the alga produces larger quantities of this pigment.
For dietary supplements, the microalgae are cultivated in culture systems, harvested, and then gently processed. Extraction is carried out using suitable methods to preserve the stability of the pigment.
Micronutrients: Vitamin C and Zinc
Beta D Immun also contains vitamin C and zinc. Both are essential nutrients that must be obtained through daily diet.
According to approved EU health claims, vitamin C and zinc contribute to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Combination and Manufacturing
The raw materials contained in Beta D Immun come from various plant and microbial sources. For manufacturing, the individual powders and extracts are combined and then encapsulated under controlled conditions.
Notes on Use
The components contained in Beta D Immun have long been described in foods or traditional raw material applications.
Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Individuals who are sensitive to mushrooms, yeast products, or microalgae components should consult a medical professional before consumption. In cases of concomitant intake of certain medications, individual clarification may be advisable.
