Unlocking Body’s Natural Defenses with BetaVia™

Key Takeaways

This blog explains how beta 1,3 glucans, specifically BetaVia™, help support the body’s natural immune defenses, especially during times of increased strain like winter. It introduces what beta glucans are, how the immune system recognizes them, and why their structure plays a key role in immune readiness. Derived from Euglena gracilis algae and optimized through a patented process, BetaVia™ is designed to support immune health through targeted, science‑backed mechanisms.


Discover the benefits of beta glucans for the immune support

Winter is typically the time of year when we hear most about respiratory‑related illnesses, and when the immune system experiences the greatest fluctuations. This pattern leads to several consequences, including decreased productivity, absenteeism at work or school, and health care system overload.1

This is why we need a solution that not only keeps us strong throughout the entire year, but can also trigger a faster response when the body is under strain. With that purpose BetaVia™ was designed through a special strain of Euglena gracilis algae, a rich source of beta 1,3 glucans, optimized through a patented process to support the strength and readiness of the immune system.2

But what exactly are Beta Glucans?

Beta glucans are a specific type of molecule made up of glucose molecules, which are essentially sugars bonded together in a distinct pattern.3 In the case of BetaVia™, glucose molecules are linked together in a specific structural pattern that acts as a biological signature. This signature enables the immune system to recognize potential threats, like pathogenic organisms such as bacteria, yeast, and fungi.3

How Beta Glucans work in the Immune System?

Over time, our immune systems have evolved to recognize this specific beta 1,3 glucan, as it is also a component of the cell walls of potentially harmful organisms. When the immune system detects it, it "wakes up", priming itself to be at a higher stage of alertness against potential threats.4 BetaVia™ works in a triple-action protection:

  1. PRIMES key immune cells5
  2. PROTECTS intestinal barrier integrity6,7
  3. SHAPES a healthy microbiome8

The Potential of BetaVia™

Clinical studies back up the effectiveness of BetaVia in priming the immune system as well as working in deep connection with the Gut-Immune axis.9,10

Individuals taking BetaVia™ experienced fewer URTI Symptoms as early as 3 days, with the benefit sustained through 90 days compared to placebo.11

Final Thoughts

In summary, beta glucans like beta 1,3 glucan, play a pivotal role in immune support. They act as a wake-up call for our immune system, priming it to defend against potential threats. While other nutrients like vitamin C and zinc have their place in supporting immune health, beta glucans offer a unique and defined mode of action, ensuring our immune system is fit and prepared. If you're interested in learning more about BetaVia™, we'd love to connect with you. Our Beta glucans are a powerful tool in the world of immune health, and we're here to help you harness their potential in your products.
