What is Beta-Glucan?
Beta-glucans are polysaccharides found in the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae, lichens, and plants such as oats and barley. They are composed of glucose molecules linked together in beta-glycosidic bonds. Beta glucan supplements are a type of soluble fiber derived from oats, barley, algae, bacteria, fungi, yeast, and plants.
Beta-Glucan Benefits:
Beta-glucans are renowned for their immune-modulating properties. They can enhance the activity of immune cells, such as macrophages, natural killer cells, and neutrophils, helping the body defend against pathogens and foreign invaders. This immune-boosting effect makes beta-glucans a popular supplement for supporting overall immune health. Beta-glucans are also a great source of soluble fiber, and research suggests it may reduce high cholesterol and improve skin conditions such as eczema, bedsores, wounds and radiation therapy burns.
