FAQ Agaricus blazei Murril (ABM) Mushroom
| What is Beta Glucan? | |
| Based on the result of research and knowledge that has been done about beta(ß) D Glucan, it in the first form is a compound that has been found from the plant’s cell wall, a bacteria and fungi as best as ones those has been made from the high grade plant, but relatively higher are the Oats, Yeast and Mushroom. Glucan is a polysaccharide that has been made from the glucose molecule’s chain. Then beta(ß) is a call of the steric position from the glucose hidroxy group which is included in the form of the chain. beta(ß) 1,3 D Glucan and beta(ß) 1,6 D Glucan are the ones which are usually made. While the numbering 1,3 and 1,6 are based on the position of the glucose’s molecule which is linked with the chain. |

| Beta Glucan’s History and Research Support | |
| In 1940s, a research has been done and it had found a substance which can increase the body’s immune that is called Zymosan and unclearly known until 1960s. Then in 1970s, Nicholas Diluzio in Talune University start to research beta(ß) 1,3 Glucan on a man, then it was tried again by Dr Peter Mansell that the the compound of beta(ß) D Glucan can activate macrophage. In 1980, Harvard Study describe that there is a stimulation that has been caused by the compound beta(ß) D Glucan to increase body’s immune. Besides, some research show that the compound of beta(ß) D Glucan can also activate macrophage to overcome HIV’s infection, complication that has been created by heavy trauma and radiation causes, and it can also increase antibiotic and antivirus effectiveness (Adjuvant effect). | |
| How does it work? | |
| The compound of beta(ß) D Glucan can activate macrophage that will stimulate so the body’s immune will increase. Some research show that the compound of beta(ß) Glucan can also activate macrophage to overcome HIV’s infection, complication that has been created by heavy trauma and radiation causes, and it can also increase antibiotic and antivirus effectiveness (Adjuvant effect). Besides its ability as a Immunoactivator, beta(ß) D Glucan is also useful to be an antioxidant, radio protective (a protection for the radiation effects, such as the radiation that caused by the air travel, X-ray, few times mammograms, the Sun’s ultraviolet ray, computer’s radiation and so on), because beta(ß) D Glucan can activate macrophage to fix and help the process of cell’s generation and damaged organ. It is also useful as antineoplastic which can activate macrophage to know and damage the mutated cell which can cause cancer or tumor. |
|
| Who needs Beta Glucan? | |
| Person whose immune is decreasing that is caused by disease infection, HIV, radiation and chemical therapy, and person above 40 years old when the immunity starts to decrease because of age progress. Person who always works under the external radiation such as UV or electromagnet. Person who has chronic disease and diabetes. Person whose nutrition isn’t enough or too much consuming preserved food. Person who is in physical pressure or stress, athlete and person who likes to work hard. And person with high risk to have cardiovascular and heart disease. |
|
| Is it save to use beta Glucan? | |
| Beta Glucan is very complete and save. | |
| Is there any reaction from other medicine that is used at the same time with beta Glucan? | |
| Beta Glucan have the characteristic to work on the synergy with each other if it is used at the same time with other medicine so it can strengthen and increase the effectiveness of the other medicine whether it’s an antifungal, antivirus or antibiotic which are usually called as Adjuvant Effect. | |
| What is the effect of beta Glucan made by the Knowledge’s Research? | |
| Some researches about beta Glucan had been done by some well named institution such as: Tulane University and Harvard Medical School which had examined the protection influence and the activation of the body’s immunity by beta Glucan. Besides, it’s also supported by the research by the researchers such as: |
|
“Glucan (Beta 1,3 D) had shown that it can increase the production of macrophage dramatically and increase the non-specific nursemaid immunity for many kinds of bacteria, fungi and parasite’s infection.”. M.L. Patchen, PhD. Departement of Experimental Hematology and Radiation Sciences Armed Forces Radiobiology Institute |
|
“The interaction and reaction series that is started from the macrophage’s setting factor is like happening and ending in a nursemaid’s change that is done with glucan in the main defense (arsenal defense).”. Joyce K.Czop, M.D. Departement of Rheumatology and Imunology Harvard Medical School |
|
“Beta 1,3 D Glucan is a potential macrophage stimulant and very beneficial in the disease’s medical treatment that is caused by bacteria, virus and fungi.”. William Browder, M.D. Departement of Surgery Tulane University School of Medicine |
|
“Glucan had been found to become a very effective medicine in stimulating the improvement of damaged macrophage in malignant lesions / cancer or tumor in animals and men.”. P. Mansell, M.D. McGill University Cancer Research Center Victoria Hospital, Montereal. Canada |
|
“The spectrum’s wide or the effect included as the immune’s medicine isn’t only in the disease’s modification that is caused by bacteria, fungi and parasite, but also hamper tumor’s growing.”. Nicholas Diluzio, Ph.D. Departement of Phisyology Tulane University School of Medicine |
