Natural Supplement May Boost Cancer-Fighting Immunity

Reported bySciTechDaily ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin found that yeast beta-glucan, a dietary supplement already used in commercial food products, reprogrammed immune stem cells in the bone marrow of obese mice to produce stronger anti-tumor responses. When tested against colorectal, skin, and breast cancer cells, the supplemented mice showed enhanced innate immune activity that persisted even after weight loss.

Worth noting

The study was conducted in mice; effectiveness in humans has not been established.
