Beta Glucan Powder Reishi Extract

What is Beta Glucan Powder?

Beta glucan is a naturally occurring cell wall polysaccharide found in yeast, fungi (including mushrooms), some microorganisms, algae, and cereals. It is one of the structural macromolecules that make up the cell walls of higher plants, yeasts, and fungi.β-Glucan is a naturally occurring product of polysaccharides made up of glucose molecules linked by β-1,3-bonds and β-1,6-bonds. Beta glucan plays an important role in the immune system. It can enhance the activity of immune cells, promote the proliferation and differentiation of immune cells, and improve the recognition and clearance of pathogens by immune cells. Due to its high efficacy and wide range of applications, Beta glucan is widely used in the fields of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food.

Green Spring Technology supplies beta glucan powder extracted from Reishi, with low impurities, high purity, low solvent residue, low pesticide residue, and stable quality. Green Spring Technology strictly controls the quality of beta glucan powder products, from high-quality raw materials such as high-quality Reishi to finished product beta glucan powder. The entire production process is controllable and traceable, and pesticide residues in raw materials are strictly monitored. The detection of various pollutants meets international standards such as the US Pharmacopoeia, EU Pharmacopoeia, and Japanese Pharmacopoeia.

Benefits:

Immune Regulation

Beta Glucan has the function of regulating the immune system and can enhance the body's immunity. It increases the activity of immune cells, promotes macrophage activation, and increases and regulates the number of immune cells. It can stimulate the enhancement of phagocytic activity of immune cells such as NK cells and macrophages, and stimulate the release of interleukins to enhance the body's ability to resist harmful toxins, which can effectively enhance the body's ability to remove toxins and improve the body's immunity.

Anti-tumour

Beta Glucan enhances the ability of macrophages to phagocytose up to several times more, and generally has a strong inhibitory effect on mutated cells. It protects and enhances the immune cells' ability to fight, while further targeting "residual tumour cells" in dormant, drug-resistant and subclinical foci. Studies have shown that β-glucan can enhance the ability to attack tumour cells and reduce the likelihood of tumour development by promoting the activation of immune cells and increasing the number of immune cells.

Promotes Digestive Health

Beta-glucan helps maintain the health of the intestinal tract. It can improve digestion and absorption by increasing the number of beneficial bacteria (such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus), promoting a balanced intestinal flora, and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.

Beneficial Lipid Regulation

Beta Glucan can lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, preventing atherosclerosis of blood vessel walls and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

A systematic literature review and meta-analysis (meta-analysis of 21 randomized controlled trials with a total of 1120 participants with mild hypercholesterolaemia) indicated that ingestion of β-glucan (daily dose ≥3 g for at least 3 weeks) reduced total cholesterol (-0.27 mmol/L) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (-0.26 mmol/ L). In addition, subgroup analysis further showed that food matrices combining "solid products" and "liquid products" were considered to be the best way to exploit their beneficial properties. CONCLUSION: Consumption of β-glucan may have a positive effect on mild hypercholesterolaemia, but more high-quality studies are needed due to the heterogeneity of the studies included.

Anti-inflammatory

Beta glucan powder extracted from Reishi has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to relieve inflammation caused by skin conditions such as eczema, burns, wounds, and dermatitis. Beta-glucan plays an important role in the treatment and prevention of allergic reactions triggered by the immune system, such as allergies (e.g. rashes, redness, and swelling).

Applications:

In the Food Field:

Beta-glucan is used as an additive in the food industry to increase the taste and texture of foods. It increases the viscosity and stability of the food, improves taste, extends shelf life, and has some humectancy.

In Cosmetics:

The application of β-glucan in cosmetics is mainly a moisturizing and restorative agent in skin care products. It provides the skin with the moisture it needs, promotes skin cell regeneration, improves skin texture, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and slows down the skin aging process.

In Pharmaceutical:

Studies have shown that beta-glucan has biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and anti-tumour activity. Beta glucan powder can be used in the field of medicine as a pharmaceutical aid in the treatment of a number of inflammatory diseases, immune system disorders and certain types of tumours.

For Feed Product:

Beta-glucan can improve the immunity of animals, promote growth and development, increase the utilisation of feed, reduce the occurrence of diseases, and improve the yield and quality of animals. It is also widely used in animal husbandry.
