Research Confirms Beta Glucan Outperforms Elderberry
In university studies measuring key immune markers like natural killer cell production, antibody formation, and phagocytosis of neutrophils (among others), elderberry significantly underperformed* compared to Better Way Health Beta Glucan 100.
Based on the results, Better Way Health Beta Glucan 100 is, on average, 64 times more effective than leading elderberry supplements, providing safer and more effective immune support.
If you are looking for a true immune system booster—why waste your time and money elsewhere?!

What is Beta Glucan?
Beta glucan has been around for decades but is now gaining mainstream attention due to its wide-ranging capabilities compared to other immunity products like elderberry.
This natural, plant-based molecule “modulates” (changes) your immune system by activating every immune system cell in the body: macrophages, neutrophils, basophils, natural killer cells, etc.
Macrophages, specifically, trigger a host of immune functions that allow the body to produce the most complete, effective, and appropriate immune response achievable. The activity of the body's immunocytes (immune cells) determines how well your immune system traps and consumes invaders that do not belong in the body.
When the body is confronted with challenges and threats, beta glucan puts immune cells on “high alert” to confront the attackers.
Simply put, beta glucan is the catalyst that makes our immune system smarter, increasing the strength of our wellness forces.
What is Elderberry?
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is a dark purple berry from the European elder tree, which grows in Europe, North America, Asia, and Northern Africa.
This popular berry has gained major popularity over the last few years due to its marketed capabilities for immune support and other health benefits.
Extracts of elderberry have been used by Native Americans as a natural remedy against fever and rheumatism, and in Europe, it is often called a "natural antibiotic." This medicinal plant contains high levels of three bioflavonoids: kaempferol, quercetin, and anthocyanin.
However, a major problem with most elderberry products is that many types of Sambucus species are excessively processed and mixed together during supplement production, without considering their differing profiles. Studies reveal that this inexpensive manufacturing practice leaves most elderberry products with no antioxidant properties and few health benefits.
Elderberry in juice form, when produced properly, may yield some health benefits, but further research is needed to determine the exact amounts to consume, how it works in the body, and the risk of possible allergic reactions. Due to lack of standardization, it cannot be safely recommended for any particular health benefit, despite drastic marketing claims by some companies.
Elderberry should be avoided altogether (or used with extreme caution under a physician's care) in the following cases:
❌ Taken alongside diabetic medications, since elderberry may increase effects
❌ Taken alongside diuretics/laxatives, since elderberry may increase effects
❌ For those taking immunosuppressants, since elderberry may cause overstimulation of the immune system
❌ For those with autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or lupus, due to the risk of overstimulating the immune system
❌ For women who are pregnant or lactating, due to the risk of toxicity and potential GI distress
