Immune Tuning

Immune Tuning

A purified (1→3),(1→6)-β-D-glucan from a mushroom was tested in both cell and animal models, where it influenced immune activity and reduced inflammation. In lab immune cells, it shifted cytokine signaling and lowered inflammatory markers. In mice, it also reduced pain responses linked to inflammation.
