Bad news…We’re in for one of the worst allergy seasons…ever.
There will be a massive explosion of pollen and other allergens this spring.1 That means more itching, sneezing, watery eyes, and stuffiness.
Prescription and over-the-counter allergy medicine, of course, have tons of side effects. And even if they weren’t so risky, who wants to walk around in a haze all spring?
Well, we’ve got good news. Researchers have found a natural way to decrease allergy symptoms. One that lessens their severity and supports your immune system. It’s a win/win.
The journal Food Science and Nutrition recently published the study.2 Researchers followed roughly 50 patients with ragweed allergies. They took 250 mg of this nutrient for four weeks.
The results were significant.
The nutrient helped patients in many ways. Total allergy symptoms went down 28 percent. And whatever symptoms they still had, they weren’t nearly as bad. We’re talking about a 52 percent reduction in the severity.
In the end, subjects reported a better quality of life. Overall physical health and emotional well-being improved. And that’s not all. Sleep problems, nasal, eye, and non-nasal symptoms all decreased by at least 50 percent. You just cannot get those whole body results from your typical allergy pill.
Researchers said the active ingredients “activate the entire immune system.”3
What is this natural allergy solution?
Beta glucan.
Beta glucan is a special type of fiber. It comes from certain plants, fungi, and yeast.4 There are many types of beta glucan. Each has special benefits. The one used in the study is yeast beta 1,3/1,6 glucan. It has powerful effects on the immune system.
Japanese researchers also confirmed its effectiveness in fighting allergies.5 But even better… beta glucan not only helped ease seasonal allergies, but also perennial allergies. It works year round! You can find beta glucan online or at a health food store. Look for ones that are yeast or fungi derived. Or that mention beta 1,3/1,6 glucan on the label.
And its benefits aren’t just limited to allergy prevention. Beta glucan has been found to help lower cholesterol, control diabetes, and fight cancer.6
It’s safe, natural, and effective. And with a horrible allergy season around the corner, starting beta glucan today may just stave off symptoms before they start.
