EuroMedica ImunoPleuran Extra Strength

What the brand says

Sold as “EuroMedica ImunoPleuran Extra Strength - Acute Immune Support - 15 Count”

Pleuran is a beta glucan unique to oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus). Unlike beta glucans from other sources, the insoluble structure of pleuran means that it is not absorbed, but rather passes through the digestive system intact, and is recognized by receptors on immune cells in the small intestine called Peyer’s patches. Every mushroom is hand-harvested, with the stems separated from the caps. The caps are sent to restaurants, so nothing is wasted. Meanwhile, the stems are kept cold to inhibit an enzyme called beta glucanase from breaking down and weakening the mushroom’s beneficial pleuran. Within 26 hours of harvest, the stems are washed, processed, and dehydrated (without the use of toxic solvents) to isolate and concentrate the beneficial pleuran.
