Abstract: A fractionated, water-soluble, readily absorbable, low molecular weight beta-glucan is usable as an immune-modulator in the mammalian system. A method is disclosed, which produces a fractionated beta-glucan that is water-soluble and has a molecular weight between 1,000 Daltons-30,000 Daltons (1 kD-30 kD) adaptable to affect changes in the immune responses in mammalian systems.
