Beta Glucans

[ricwilli]

Has anyone used it?

Here is a read about Beta Glucans - http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2003/9/aafeature

I would like to feed my fish this food while in quarantine. Looks like Elos is the only company that sells food with Beta Glucans in it. http://www.elosusa.com/store/browse/extruded-fish-food

I might get it from here if I can't get it from Elos - http://www.mothernature.com/p/source-naturals_beta-glucan-13-16-100mg-30-caps/111410.html

Richie,

No, I haven't tried it - but after your research, I sure would like to! I'd prefer the Elos to the Mother Nature (how do you determine dosage with the raw product?).

Many thanks for the links, and regards...
Bob

I think I read in the article that you can't overdose. But I would be cautious and start with small dosage. I might place an order for elos over the weekend if I remember.

Beta glucan is a great addition to your foods. They have been using it in aquaculture for a long time. When I was breeding seahorses I used it to enrich my rotifers and baby brine with. If anyone is looking for a source to use as an enrichment for live foods look here. http://www.seahorsesource.com/cgi-bin/shop/detail.cgi?id=205102

Richie,

Order your same quantity for me. That way we can split the shipping. PM me when you've received them and I'll pick it up, at your convenience, from you.

See you tomorrow,
Bob
