This is a document on Vitamin C in connection with Beta glucan from another
list.

I currently am using 3000 mgs of Beta Glucan a day and 9000 mgs of time
release vitamin C. I think I should be using Ester C and am going to as
soon as the present supply runs out.

I should know in a couple of days if this has had an effect on my PSA.

Hi Cliff,
the only published information I have read to support your
suggestion, is that boosting the immune system through use of medicinal
mushrooms or
yeast beta glucan,. quickly depletes the body of Vitamin C. Once Vitamin C
is
depleted the immune system will no longer function in an activated state.
Since in
order to work at maximun capcity, it needs significant quantities (gramm
amounts) of
Vitamin C daily.

Sure the average daily requirement for Vitamin C may be only 50 or 100
milligramms. But thats when the immune system is not activated. Once
activated, many
gramms a day of Vitamin C can be utilized by the immune system. If you dont
get that
extra Vitamin C, then the beta glucan will be alomst useless and the body
will not
respond. Taking glucan without Vitamin C is a waste of time and money.

Research suggests glucan derived from medicinal mushrooms may benefit from
Vitamin
C even more than yeast glucan, through breaking up long molecules and
assisting
assimilation.

If you dont take Vitamin C, and have a break from glucan therapy, then
after some
time the vitamin C supply in the body will be restored from ones diet. Then
after a
break, the glucan will be effective again for a day or two, untill all the
Vitamin C
is again depleted in the body and the glucan again stops working.
