Chitin-glucan complex consists of chitin, 1,3/1,6-ß-D-glucan, and melanin. Rather than being produced from animal parts, the chitin used for this purpose is extracted from the cell walls of the fungus Fomes fomentarius. Unlike chitin extracted from crustaceans, for example, this chitin contains no heavy metals. It possesses immunostimulant properties.

The 1,3/1,6-ß-D-glucan in this complex are macromolecules consisting solely of the carbohydrate glucose. There are many varieties of glucan. The main difference lies in the effectiveness and efficiency of these glucans. According to the most recent experimental studies, it is one of the most effective activators. 1,3/1,6-ß-D-glucan complex boosts the immune system of humans and other animals.
