yeast beta glucan has a positive effect on the health of the elderly. It can enhance immune function, anti-oxidation and anti-aging, help protect the elderly from infection and chronic diseases, delay the aging process, and improve the quality of life.

Key Nutrients for Immune System Support

The application of yeast beta-glucan in cosmetics.

Beta-glucans are complex carbohydrates found in the cell walls of many types of fungi, including yeast. Yeast beta-glucans are composed of glucose molecules linked together in a specific way that gives them unique biological properties.
 

The differences between oat beta glucan and yeast beta glucan

Beta-glucans are complex polysaccharides that are found in fungi and plants, such as Agaricus blazei, shiitake mushroom, Ganoderma lucidum, and oat. Beta-glucans display an array of potentially therapeutic properties.

Yeast beta glucan is the main component of yeast cell wall. Together with mannan and protein, it forms the sandwich structure of yeast cell wall, which is of great significance for maintaining the size and shape of yeast cells.Yeast beta glucan is a water-insoluble branched polymer. Its main chain is beta-1,3 glycosidic binding, branched chain beta-1,6 glycoside binding, accounting for 30%~35% of the dry weight of yeast cell wall. Through electron microscopy and other analytical methods, scientists have learned about the spatial structure of yeast beta glucan. Its molecular weight ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and it exists in the form of triple helix.
 

Yeast  beta glucan is a polysaccharide that exists in the cell wall of yeast and has immune enhancing activity—— Beta- Glucan. Beta- Glucan is widely present in various fungi and plants, such as Agaricus blazei, shiitake mushrooms, Ganoderma lucidum, and oats, and is their main functional substance for exerting health benefits. Yeast beta glucan has stronger immune enhancing activity and has the effects of improving blood lipids, clearing toxins, resisting radiation, repairing cells, and improving intestinal function.
