It seems like beta glucan basically makes your immune system work like its on roids. When taken internally, rids your body of ANYTHNG that doesnt belong there. I wonder how it penetrates the skin when applied topically?

Just wanted to update a message posted on the Skin Interactive forum by panda about getting some beta glucans for members who missed out on the co-op:

For those of you that didn't get in on the co-op purchase, Garden of Wisdom is going to be selling smaller quantities of this product so contact Markey if you are interested.

HTH,

I just want to say that I don't think we should constantly be disclaiming that we're not "experienced" DIYers.

I think DIY is fun and when we're not working with "dangerous" actives, we shouldn't have to disclaim everything we say. at least one person is going to have an allergic reaction to every product no matter how many times it's tested.

i found this article helpful on BGs...

Quote:

Dr Pillai and colleagues theorize that beta-glucan stimulates collagen by inducing the release of immune/inflammatory mediators, such as IL-1 and NFkB. If true, stimulating inflammatory response may not be the optimal way to strengthen the collagen network because inflammation may have negative side effects.

I wonder what anyone makes of that considering the other articles say it's anti-inflammatory.
