Frequently Asked Questions
- What is BetaLoe™? Beta-1, 3-D
glucan, along with a scientifically and independently certified aloe
vera are the sole active ingredients in BetaLoe™. The beta glucan is derived from the
cell walls of baker’s yeast, making it the precise substance for which
the actual glucan macrophage receptor has been identified. Beta-1, 3-D glucan is technically
referred to as a poly-branched poly-glucose – so complex some refer to
it as fiber. The aloe vera is
from the well-known member of the lily family, Barbadensis miller with
over 200 documented active biological compounds.
- Is it safe?
Are there any known toxicities?
What about yeast allergies?
What about drug reactions?
This material is
likely safer than the water you drink from the tap at home. Baker’s yeast extracts carry a
G.R.A.S. Rating (Generally Recognized as Safe). Aloe vera has a history of over 2000
years of safe use in virtually every type of compound known to man. Because our beta glucan is highly
purified, the yeast proteins that might cause distress to some are
removed. There are no known
contraindications with drugs, but we encourage all persons to consult
with an appropriate health care professional when considering dietary
supplements.
- Is it organic? Yes. The raw materials are also free of
chemicals, metals and pesticides.
- Why should an immune system dietary supplement
be used? The first thing that one should consider in a
health regimen is an immune modulator/potentiator. If you accept that dietary
supplements will help build healthy bone and tissue, then you must
accept that an immune supplement will help you enjoy a well functioning
body during a long, healthy life.
- Can BetaLoe™ expand or create an autoimmune
problem (i.e., diabetes, lupus, sarcoid, etc)? No. BetaLoe™ does not create a
danger. Considerable peer
reviewed data indicates the fact that either Beta-1, 3-D glucan or aloe
vera can be used quite safely by everyone.
- How does BetaLoe™ differ from other
supplements? Vitamins & minerals are often purchased to
enhance the building of healthy bone & tissue. Ironically, this tissue cannot
protect or repair without a competent immune response. Think of BetaLoe™ as your one a day
for the best immune system you can have.
- Is there scientific support for these
materials? Hundreds of scientific studies originating
from such prestigious institutions as Tulane, Harvard, and the U.S.
Armed Forces attest to the safety and efficacy of Beta-1, 3-D glucan and
Aloe vera.
- How do these materials work in the body? There are key immune cells in the body that do very specialized
tasks. They include: T-cells, neutrophils, natural
killer (NK) cells and macrophages.
The surfaces of these cells become activated when the molecules
from beta glucan & aloe come into contact with them. Research from many well-known
institutions has helped us clearly understand the role of these glucose
and mannose receptors. Responses
and the cascade of immunological events that occur continue to be
studied and will be reported as they are published in the medical
journals.
- Does it cross the blood-brain barrier? BetaLoe™ does not produce any type of adverse chemical or drug
effect. BetaLoe™ goes into the
lymph and blood, it potentiates or modulates or causes a response to be
affected simply by its proximity to certain white blood cells. After that, the white blood cells
take over by producing cytokines, and “turning on” other cells
(including those in the brain) to function properly and effectively. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) was
discovered more than 20 years ago.
Interleukin-2 is part of a family of proteins called cytokines. Cytokines act primarily by
communicating between the various cells of the body’s immune
system. IL-2 helps increase
production of several different components of the immune system found in
the blood, including T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. It also may improve the function of
other immune system cells, such as lymphokine-activated killer (LAK)
cells and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. This helps the body fight cancer.
- Are these ingredients available from other
sources (i.e., oats, barley, special diets, etc.)? Though “beta glucans” are found in a variety of sources, the
peer-reviewed data is explicit in what will or will not enhance immune
response. The data is also clear
in regards to aloe vera. Though
certain companies marketing copycat products make claims to the
contrary, they are never able to produce assays, credentialed sources,
or peer-reviewed data supporting their claims.
- What is the recommended serving size for
BetaLoe™? For the average adult, you should use two
capsules daily on an empty stomach and wait 30 minutes before
eating. Otherwise, always follow
the instructions from a qualified and properly licensed medical
professional.
- Does BetaLoe™ contain any additives? Even though these ingredients are themselves very complex
materials containing a wide variety of biologically active substances,
we do not employ unlisted compounds in our capsules.
- How can you say that you have used the best
ingredients? We take great pains and go to great expense to
use outside laboratories and use well-known universities to help us
qualify and quantify our products.
This assures every customer a safe and reliable serving every
time.
- Why would a person want to use BetaLoe™? Living here on this planet poses countless challenges and insults
to our body. Just as a person
requires good air to breathe, good water to drink, sunlight and
nourishment – one cannot achieve maximum longevity without a fully
functional immune system. Even
people that eat well and exercise experience micro-injuries, oxidative
stress, and require daily support.
At the very least, people should be concerned with the aging
process. BetaLoe™ is an ideal
dietary supplement to help the immune system perform at its peak.
- Why hasn’t someone already produced a BetaLoe™
product to the marketplace? The greatest obstacle has been money. Beta Glucan from Sigma Chemical (a
major supplier to universities & researchers) runs about $200.00 per
100 milligram. These costs have
made it impractical to offer to the public on a wide scale. Also, almost every time you go to a
store for an “aloe” product, the aloe ends up missing in action before
you even make the purchase.
False & misleading advertising in these areas are the rule,
rather than the exception. Now
that there is a product that has credentials, research and quality
control behind it…BetaLoe™ should sweep the market as people come to
understand its unique ingredients.
As the foundation for good health, long life, and an
attractive appearance, the prudent person looks to BetaLoe™. Make absolutely sure that all the products
that you buy have been appropriately tested to assure quality, safety from
contamination, and that a verifiable serving size is present in each capsule.
