<div&gt;Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), is a long-term condition that causes pain all&lt;/div&gt;<div&gt;over the body. FMS symptoms may also include increased sensitivity to pain, extreme&lt;/div&gt;<div&gt;tiredness, muscle stiffness, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and problems with memory&lt;/div&gt;<div&gt;and concentration. Beta 1,3/1,6 glucan in the micro glucan (MG) form is a potent&lt;/div&gt;<div&gt;antioxidant to aid in nutritionally minimizing oxidative (free radical) stress while&lt;/div&gt;<div&gt;nutritionally potentiating and normalizing the immune response and promoting&lt;/div&gt;<div&gt;phagocytosis or removal of toxins and cellular debris from the body. Beta glucan&lt;/div&gt;<div&gt;enhances white cell mobility, white cell production and pathogen destruction. Also, it&lt;/div&gt;<div&gt;enables immune system modulation by balancing on an underactive or overactive&lt;/div&gt;<div&gt;immune response.</div&gt;
