- What is the active ingredient in Wellness NOW?
- The active ingredient in Wellness NOW is BetaRight WGP, a proprietary blend of beta 1,3/1,6 glucan, which is extracted from baker’s yeast.

- What is BetaRight WGP (beta 1,3/1,6 glucan)?
- Beta 1,3/1,6 glucan is a dietary fiber. Most dietary fibers pass through your digestive tract without being absorbed. However, there is a small section of your small intestines capable of absorbing beta 1,3/1,6 glucan which allow beta 1,3/1,6 glucan to be used by your body to strengthen your immune system. Since the area that can absorb beta 1,3/1,6 glucan is so small and impurities can block absorption, it is vital to choose a highly purified beta 1,3/1,6 glucan such as Beta Right WGP – the most pure beta 1,3/1,6 glucan available.
