With WGP 3-6 gluco polysaccharide Terra Naturals HEALTHY Deodorants are the first to contain WGP® 3-6, a powerful immune health ingredient.
WGP® 3-6 is a patented ingredient that contains beta 1,3/1,6 glucan (gluco polysaccharide, a complex carbohydrate purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker’s yeast) that has been widely recognized since the 1960s as an immune enhancer with clinically useful antitumor, hematopoietic and anti-infective properties. WGP® 3-6 has the purest food-grade beta glucan available, which is produced using a proprietary process that separates the lipids, proteins and cell membrane from the yeast cell wall. WGP® 3-6 binds to specific receptors present on human innate immune cells called neutrophils, macrophages and natural killer cells. This mechanism results in enhanced tumoricidal and microbial killing activity of these cell types as well as stimulating the proliferation of protective white blood cell production in the bone marrow when these cells are at sub-normal levels.

Taken orally, WGP® 3-6 interacts with key immune cells to initiate a cascade of immune activity designed to protect the body against foreign challenges. Not only has Biothera demonstrated that WGP® 3-6 is a powerful immune modulator, the company also has shown how it works, which is important for achieving consistent results. This unique mechanism of action is the topic of a peer-reviewed scientific paper that was published in July of 2004 in The Journal of Immunology, the official publication of the American Association of Immunologists. Additional studies are under way to demonstrate the power and versatility of WGP® 3-6 as an immune supplement. The health benefits of the insoluble beta glucan include enhancement of several key immune responses as measured by increased phagocytosis (engulfing foreign challenges), selective cytokine release (messengers that recruit additional cells to join the fight), and oxidative degranulation (killing pathogens).

It seems to display cumulative healing properties. The wound-healing ability of beta-1,3/1,6-D-glucan in general has been firmly established. One study tested several topical agents, and only gluco polysaccharide showed any marked beneficial effect. Natural ProductWGP® 3-6 is an all-natural immune enhancing product that credible scientific research has shown to improve human health and well being. Biothera has had 12 peer-reviewed medical and scientific journal papers published in the past 5 years.

Founded in 1997, the company has built a technology platform on a complex carbohydrate known as beta 1,3/1,6 glucan that primes key immune cells. Based in Eagan, Minnesota, the company has more than 40 U.S. patents and patents pending, with additional filings in more than 20 countries that protect its products and technologies. Biothera’s technology is the result of more than $200 million of research and development. For more information, visit www.biotherapharma.com.
