yeast beta glucan 90%


Glucan, a polysaccharide substance, exists in the mucus secreted by some microorganisms during the growth process. It is divided into α- Glucan and β- Glucan. Later, Dr. Diluzio of Tulun University isolated this substance that can enhance the resistance in baker's yeast, and confirmed that it is Beta Glucan. Beta Glucan is widely found in yeast, mushrooms, oats, barley and other foods.


What are The Differences Between Beta Glucans?


Fungal 

Mushroom produces short β- 1,6-glucan side chains β- 1,3-glucan

Cereal

Oats and barley mainly alternates β- 1,3/1,4-glucan.

Bacterial

Bacteria generally produce linear β- 1,3-glucan

Yeast

Yeast mainly produces β- 1,6 side chain β- 1,3-glucan


Beta Glucan from different sources


Mushroom beta glucan has similar effects to Yeast beta glucan. But research also shows that mushroom derived beta glucan is not as efficient as yeast derived beta glucan. Yeast beta glucan plays a greater role in regulating immune function, anti tumor, anti radiation, and yeast beta glucan is more widely used.


What Is Yeast Beta Glucan?

Yeast Beta Glucan is found in the cell walls of common yeast. It is used to enhance or stimulate the effectiveness of the immune system. It’s a type of fiber in the form of polysaccharides (complex sugars).

Benefits of Yeast Beta Glucan on The Immune System

Yeast beta glucan increases levels of secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA).

Yeast beta glucan activates macrophages.

Yeast beta glucan activates monocytes.

Yeast beta glucan activates neutrophils.

Yeast beta glucan enhances “natural killer” (NK) cells.


The Immune Mechanism of Yeast Beta Glucan

As an immunomodulator, yeast beta glucan is a compound that can activate immune cells to secrete cytokines. It can participate in host specific and non-specific immunity to improve immune function. Yeast beta glucans can directly or indirectly act on the immune system and trigger a series of reactions by activating monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils.

Other Functions of Yeast Beta Glucan


Resistance to radiation

The anti-radiation effect of yeast beta glucan is the result of enhancing hematopoietic function. Yeast beta glucan can enhance the production of blood cells, including granulocytes, monocytes, and red blood cells, which is very good for the body to recover from radiation.


Nourish and moisturize skin

Yeast beta glucan boosts the body's immune system by activating macrophages such as Lang's cells. Activated Langhorne cells secrete factors that contribute to the proliferation of fibrocytes (skin cells) and the synthesis of the skin tissue matrix (collagen, elastin, proteoglycan, and other components), making the skin supple and tender.


Quasi-dietary fiber

Yeast beta glucan, a new food material, is difficult to digest in the digestive organs of the human body, so it has a fiber-like function. Studies have found that yeast beta glucan can significantly reduce human triglyceride levels, lower LDL(low-density lipoprotein) levels, and increase HDL(high-density lipoprotein) levels, effectively preventing human tissue lesions.


The intestinal health

Yeast beta glucan can effectively adjust the microecology of the digestive tract, proliferate beneficial bacteria and excrete harmful substances in the intestinal tract. When the human body is in a sub-health state for a long time, it will get sick. It needs a healthy diet to adjust the sub-health state. Yeast beta glucan can act on the sub-health state of the human body, promote it to a healthy state transformation, and achieve the purpose of improving health. In addition, it is suitable for all ages.


The food taste

The application of yeast beta glucan into food is beneficial to the taste of food. It has a fat-like taste and can be used as a non-calorie food ingredient, as a fat substitute in the production of low-calorie salad dressings, cheese analogs, and frozen desserts like ice cream, and as a light tonic in most meat products such as sausages, ham sausages, and hot dogs.


Yeast Beta Glucan Uses

Yeast beta glucan can be used as raw material in food, health care, skin care, feed nutrition and other fields


Food

Used as thickener, water-holding agent and emulsifier in seasonings, desserts, dairy, bakery and other foods.


Healthcare

As the raw material of health food and medicine, it is used to enhance immunity, resist radiation, regulate blood lipids, and assist in the treatment of tumors.


Skin care

In skin care, shampoo, bath, sunscreen, beauty and other products, it has the functions of moisturizing, repairing, anti-allergy and anti-infection.


Feed nutirtion

As an antibiotic substitute, it can be added to pigs, chickens and other livestock and poultry diets, which can significantly improve the immune function of animals, promote growth, and improve the utilization rate of feed conversion.


Is Yeast Beta Glucan Safe?

Tessin yeast beta glucan, derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is pure natural, non transgenic, and has no side effects. The biological modification method is adopted, without destroying β- 1,3 / - 1,6-glucan structure reduces the degree of molecular polymerization and reaches 100% water solubility, thus making it more widely used.


Where To Buy Yeast Beta Glucan In Bulk?

You may be able to find small quantities of yeast beta glucan in your area. However. in order to buy large quantities of yeast beta glucan. it is preferable to import directly from the manufacturers.They can issue certifications and provide cost savings which is better than buying the goods in small quantities locally or from a distributor.
