Glucan Elite – 85% Beta 1,3D Glucan 500mg - 60 vcaps | 85% Minimum Active 1,3 Linkage Ultra-Potency Beta Glucan – Highest Bioavailability with BGF-Immune (Pack of 3)

For me the decision to choose Glucan Elite over Transfer Point is an easy one. You just need to break it down and look at each segment before making a decision. Here are my thoughts and I hope this helps others find the information they are looking for while saving research time.1) Purity/Potency: First off, Glucan Elite boasts 85% 1,3 beta glucan content and posts the batch specific COA to back it up. I spoke with their customer service and found that they test each batch and do not release the raw material for encapsulation until it is confirmed to have a minimum 85% potency of 1,3 chain linkage and meets all industry standard purity and safety standards. This is probably the most important fact to consider when choosing any dietary supplement, but especially with something like beta glucan since purity and potency are everything (I’d rather pay more and ensure I get a high quality product). What’s great about Glucan Elite is I get to pay less and get the highest quality product.2) Effectiveness: Ensuring the product works is just as important as purity/potency. I don’t want to waste my time with products that don’t work and I believe you are in the same boat. Transfer Point has been around for awhile and has solid research but so does Glucan Elite (their beta glucan is called BGF-Immune) and they have extensive studies done showing the product is just as effective as Transfer Point’s Glucan 300 if not even more effective in certain aspects such as bioavailability and absorption from having a linear chain linkage rather than highly branched. I asked Glucan Elite's customer service for any research validating their product and they responded promptly and sent me multiple studies and a comparison of their product vs Transfer Point’s beta glucan as well as other brands on the market. I found out they also have this posted on their website, too. One of Glucan Elite’s studies shows statistically significant enhancement of natural killer cell activity and suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in healthy adult humans with a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled parallel group study. Transfer Point also has their research posted on their website and their customer service is also responsive, but they do not post their COA but it is available if you ask their customer service. Something else I discovered along the way regarding effectiveness of beta glucan is that the most important thing to check for is confirmed potency of the 1,3 chain linkage and the amount of it. This is what research shows makes beta glucan work. If you look at all of the studies then you will find that the more 1,3 chain linkage taken at therapeutic doses then you end up with positive immune-modulation. It’s as simple as that. The beta glucan products that are 1,4 or 1,6 chain linkage heavy or do not care to test or post their product’s makeup of chain linkage are the ones to avoid because they are cheap and research shows them to be ineffective at producing a desirable result in terms of immune system support. Glucan Elite’s BGF-Immune beta glucan has confirmed third party tested potency of 1,3 chain linkage from an incredibly reputable source being NutriScience Innovations which is significantly larger and more well established than Transfer Point. Glucan Elite is just a new brand name, but BGF-Immune and NutriScience have been around for a long time and are tried, tested and true.3) Price: Glucan Elite is the clear winner here, especially if you choose Subscribe & Save or buy their multi packs. Glucan Elite at it’s most expensive goes for $49.95 for one bottle of the same amount (slightly more actually if you count the 2% increase in 1,3 chain linkage potency) as Transfer Point beta glucan (both products have 60 capsules, each containing 500mg of highly potent beta glucan 83/85 minimum 1,3 chain linkage) while Transfer Point goes for $74.95 for the same amount. That’s $25 off each bottle. If you buy a 3-pack of Glucan Elite you get each bottle for an average price of $41.65 and the Subscribe & Save with a 15% discount on a single bottle is $42.26 if you get eh 15% discount from having 5 items subscribed. That is more than $30 per bottle savings if you go with one of those options. They offer even more discounts on their website for 6 packs of product with coupon codes available so you can get bottles of Glucan Elite for as little as $35.24 if you catch a promo and get a 6 pack. This is half off Transfer Point for a more potent and effective product with the same serving size. Doing the math is important and puts everything into perspective very quickly. The numbers don’t lie.

I just did quite a bit of research on this product and I’m glad to share. It’s important to know this stuff before buying and using a product like this otherwise you aren’t maximizing your experience or investment. BGF Immune is the type of “branded” beta glucan used in this product. Branded in the sense that it is was studied, researched, created, tested and manufactured by a supplement research lab called NutriScience Innovations. Their website says: "NutriScience Innovations is a leading and trusted global supplier of specialty and fine quality nutritional, dietary, functional food & beverage ingredients and raw materials for cosmetic and animal health applications. NutriScience is GMP-certified by SGS and delivers quality products backed by science and research, with 20 years of experience.” Nice. They created this specialty beta glucan and own the rights to manufacture and make BGF Immune beta glucan, which is the 85% minimum 1,3D linkage fermentation derived beta glucan. Their website says they also third party test and validate all of their batches to ensure they are safe from any contaminants and contain the promised 85% minimum 1,3D linkage they advertise. This matters a lot because so many other beta glucan supplements, or supplements in general for that matter, don’t test anything so how do you know you’re getting what you pay for or a safe product? I like how they post their results directly on the Amazon page, too.Glucan Elite is a supplement that contains this BGF Immune beta glucan described above. It appears that Glucan Elite is sold directly through Amazon so they aren’t jacking up the price like physicians, doctors or brick and mortar stores do to cover their high overhead or just make a bigger profit like Transfer Point does. God Bless Amazon for allowing suppliers to cut out middle men who make our products more expensive than they need to be. Speaking of Transfer Point, which is another potent beta glucan product that I used to take, I reached out to them directly and they said they only sell their products to licensed physicians for them to basically mark up to us and that it should not be sold on Amazon. Apparently some of the physicians still do this anyways, and they sell it for nearly $70. Another useless middle man. Glucan Elite is basically direct to consumer so the price is much better than comparable products like Transfer Point’s 500mg beta glucan product - same serving size and quantity as Glucan Elite, but only 83% potency and not 85% potency. Another nice difference is if you buy a 2-pack or a 3-pack of Glucan Elite, you save BIG (look at the multi-pack variations on this listing).Overall, this is a really good product from a trustworthy source and a very fair price for the quality and value you are getting, especially if you buy the multi-packs. It would be nice if they made some 10 capsule trial packs or something for travel/vacation use or for first time customers to try.

👍 Great product

Lowered my cholesterol

I have stage 1 breast cancer that is entirely fed by estrogen. The docs have me on Femara which eliminates estrogen which they hope will shrink the one small (1.7cm) tumor. Based on the Henderson book I take beta glucan 1, 3d. Glucan Elite from what I've researched should be as worthwhile as the heavily promoted product from Transfer Point and at less cost. I'll let you know in August after my next test. I will say that when I had a couple of questions I called the number on the bottle and later that day I got a call back. Customer support is crucial when so many are using the product to combat illness.Note to men: I was lucky that I had a CT scan of heart in preparation of procedure to treat A-fib. It was during that test that they found the tumor at a very early stage. Only 1 in 100 cases of breast cancer appear in men. As a result men never check their breasts. Thus, the guy who becomes that 1 in 100 cases he is usually at stage 3 or 4.Glucan Elite - Beta 1,3D Glucan 500mg - 60 vcaps | 85% Minimum Active 1,3 Linkage Ultra-Potency Beta Glucan - Highest Bioavailability with BGF-Immune
