The U.S. Armed Forces Radiobiology Institute performed remarkable oral research with Beta glucan. In a well-controlled study, rats were given a lethal dose of radiation. Seventy percent of these rats were completely protected from the radiation effects when given a dose of yeast Beta glucan by mouth AFTER the radiation.
