The effect of beta-glucan in combination with sport
According to studies, chaga beta-glucan has extremely positive effects in the following areas:
- the ratio of muscle mass to body fat
- Beta-glucan has a stimulating effect on the immune system
- and has an improving effect on general stamina
A study carried out for this purpose Asian study*in which increased doses of this active substance were administered:
- Significant increase in strength and endurance performance
- Accelerated recovery and reduction in body fat percentage
The Chaga mushroom increases the IgA level after intensive physical exertion (Immunoglobulin alpha: immunises the body - the activity of the immune system is not weakened as usual by hard training) and, for example, reduces the feeling of illness after a marathon by up to 37%.
Hard training normally reduces the number of natural killer cells in the blood. This leads to a reduction in the body's defences and thus inevitably to increased susceptibility to disease. Beta-glucan can counteract a drop in killer cells, which was 28% below baseline in the comparison group.
Conclusion: A great enemy of the ambitious athlete is illness. For this reason, we recommend the regular Ingestion of Chaga beta-glucanone to two hours before and after exercise.
