The kids are back in school bringing home countless bugs. 

Winter is approaching quickly which also means flu season is right around the corner. 

Dr. Bergman’s most asked question this time of year is “What can I do to support my immune system”. 

His biggest recommendation? Beta Glucan.

So how do you get your much needed dose of Beta Glucan? 

One simple way is mushrooms. 

Consuming mushrooms daily increases the activity of our white blood cells and when they are more active, a person becomes more resistant to the ‘bugs’ we encounter on a daily basis.

2 grams of a raw quality mushroom powder is often the best way to achieve therapeutic levels of Beta Glucan (food for the immune system). 

This also help improve digestive function and helps in the balance of hormones which also is part of why mushrooms can be such a great Adaptogen for the body as they are multipurpose. 

Mushrooms are not the only source of beta glucans. 

In fact, certain strains of seaweed have been found to have beta glucans in them that also provide health to the skin because of its beneficial effects to the digestive tract.

Betaxym is what Dr. Bergman and his family uses and recommends for a source of beta glucan. 

At only one capsule a day you can obtain therapeutic levels of a specifically derived glucan from seaweed. 

Betaxym and knowing your vitamin D level are important for overall immunity. 

Most all studies related to the ultimate immune challenge such as cancer indicate that vitamin D level of 55-85 ng/dl are protective. 

Vitamin D levels of 30-80 ng/dl are within normal levels however it’s not shown to be significantly protective until reaching 55ng/dl indicated by the studies thus far.

Betaxym and Vitamin D can both be purchased at the clinic and we can even ship!
