We did a couple of studies and we published them comparing some individual glucans to individual immune-modulators like Echinacea. That is one example, most of the clinical studies on that plant failed because one company is using leaves, one is using roots and each has a different quality inside so you never know what you get. With the mixtures, it is even worse because some manufacturers are just trying to either increase the price by putting five things together, so it’s not 30 bucks it’s now $50. Or some are putting it together to give you more material or the money. None of them are actually doing any research. That yeah, you should actually put this, this and that so there is very little research done on what would be better if you combine it. With glucan we now know at least three substances which work better together but with other artificial mixtures you are on your own. And we did the study, we compared it and the mixtures were always on the bottom of the list.
