Does Immutol With Its Beta Glucans Can Boost Immune System?
My father is 88 years old and he has read that Immutol with its beta glucans can boost his immune system. He has been diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome. He wants me to get this product to try to boost his immune system. Is this a good idea. Will it harm him?

Hi,
Immutol is a supplementation drug containing beta glucans which are normally found in the cell walls of many micro/organisms including fungi,bacteria, algae, planets, barley, oats, etc.
Usually, some physician can give Immutol in patients like your father. I suggest to discuss how your father can take it to avoid possible side effects although resulted in rare cases due to changes in immune system.
All the best to your father and you all!
