Transfer Point Glucan 300 - Independent Testing Proves it's America's #1 Immune System Support Product

A study conducted at University of Louisville supports the fact that Transfer Point - Glucan 300 outperforms all other immune support products for overall immune support.

This independent study was published in the prestiugious JANA, The Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association, a leading peer-reviewed journal on nutrition.

This publication is read by health care professionals, researchers, and others interested in natural approaches for their practice or personal use. It is considered the authority on identifying safe and effective products.

The study, is titled "An Evaluation of the Immunological Activities of Commercially Available Beta 1, 3 Glucans" The author of the study, Doctor Vetvicka reviewed and compared a large variety of popular immune support products to determine which ones work and which ones did not.

Transfer Point Glucan 300 was rated the best overall immune support.

The tests conducted on the various products compared the following immune support responses;

  • Phagocytosis
  • Surface markers on splenocytes
  • Cytokine synthesis
  • Stimulation of antibody response

Overview of each test;

Phagocytosis[1] is the process in which the body attacks and consumes bacteria and other foreign matter. The phagocytes, all so known as white blood cells perform this task. Without this process our body would succumb to disease and infection.

Splenocytes are spleen cells which play an important role in regulation of immune responses[2].

Cytokine are the "communication line" between different cells in the body and play a direct role in immune response. The faster these cells are created (synthesized), the more effective the response rate of our immune system.

Antibodies, are the method that the immune system uses to identify and tag a unknown body "friend or foe.[3]"

Many manufactures don't offer any real independent proof that their product works, while some offer only one form of proof that their immune support product works. This "proof" is in the form of a single test usually dealing with the rate of increase in natural killer cells. This is a single component of the immune system. The immune system is made up of many components and process and in order to determine if a product works we need to take a look at a variety of immune responses.

This is exactly what the University of Louisville did by conducting a wide variety of tests on a wide variety of immune system support products.

Below is a graph that represents the ability of the products listed to produce phagocytosis carried out at the University of Louisville.

The most startling conclusions that these tests revealed was that a large variety of immune support products offered no more immune support that saline solution, i.e. salt water. Is your product found here

As you can see from the test results Transfer Point Glucan 300 offered the best overall immune response.

Another interesting aspect of this tests was that it looked at dosage amounts to determine how much of a dose a lower performing product was required to produce the same immune support effect as the highest quality product.

This is important because if it takes 64x the dose of product A (which retails for $9.95) to produce the same results as glucan 300 (which retails for around $69.95) then it would cost you $636.80 of product A to produce the same results as Glucan 300.

Glucan 300 would give you a $566.85 dollar savings.
