Pleuran is an insoluble polysaccharide ( β-(1,3/1,6)-D-glucan), isolated from Pleurotus ostreatus. [1]
Pleuran belongs to a group of glucose polymers commonly called beta-glucans demonstrating biological response modifier properties. These immunomodulating properties render the host more resistant to infections and neoplasms. [2]
In a study published in December 2010, pleuran demonstrated to have a protective effect against exercise-induced suppression of immune cell activity ( NK cells) in subjects taking 100 mg per day. [3]
In another study published in 2011, pleuran reduced the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections and increased the number of circulating NK cells. [4]
Pleuran is also being studied as a potential immunologic adjuvant. [5]
