Product Description

Each capsule contains Wellmune, highly purified 1,3/1,6-beta-glucans from yeast. The product is NSF Certified for Sport, making it suitable for athletes who require banned-substance-free supplements.

What We Like

  • Wellmune branded ingredient with clinical backing
  • NSF Sport certification for maximum safety assurance
  • Vegan cellulose capsules free from common allergens
  • Clean formula with only rice fiber as excipient

What We’re Missing

  • Only 60 servings: monthly reordering needed for continuous use
  • No vitamin D or zinc included: combination seekers need separate products
  • Capsules relatively large due to 250 mg active dose

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule daily with a meal. Studies support 2 capsules during high-stress periods (heavy travel, intense training); drink plenty of water.

Ingredient dossier

Beta-glucans vary by source: oat forms are solid for cholesterol; fungal forms for immunity have weaker human evidence.
