Water Soluble Yeast Beta Glucan Powder

What is Yeast Beta Glucan Powder?

Yeast beta glucan is a new product developed by a unique process, which is derived from fresh food brewer's yeast. It is a polysaccharide with the main chemical structures of β-1,3 glucan and β-1,6 glucan, a structure that differs from the linear molecular structure of normal sugars, but has a unique triple ultramicro-helical structure. The former of these has anti-tumour properties and can greatly enhance the body's natural immunity.

It is able to activate macrophages, neutrophilic white blood cells, etc., thus increasing the content of leukocytin, cytokinin and special antibodies, and comprehensively stimulating the body's immune system.glucan is a new product developed by a unique process, which is derived from fresh food brewer's yeast.

Benefits:

Immunity Enhancement

Yeast beta glucan is usually a polysaccharide extracted from natural yeast cell walls. When yeast beta glucan enters the human body, it can be absorbed by macrophages on intestinal mucus through glucan receptors, which activates the macrophages and enables white blood cells to function and protect the body from harmful substances. It can also achieve anti-tumour effects by stimulating the immune system.

Several studies have demonstrated the immunomodulatory function of yeast β-glucans, but not all yeast β-glucans from brewer's yeast have the same function, depending on the structure and degree of branching of the yeast β-glucan. For example, baker's yeast and brewer's yeast are two strains of brewer's yeast that both produce β 1,3/1,6-glucan, but the molecular structure of β-glucan extracted from baker's yeast cell walls is different from that of β-glucan extracted from brewer's yeast. The molecular structure affects the immunomodulatory capacity of β-glucan, so the source of β-glucan is critical.

Repairing Cells

Yeast Beta Glucan enhances blood cell production, including granulocyte production, mononuclear leukocytes, and organ tissue cells. This results in the restoration of cells damaged by lethal doses of radiation.

Blood Lipid Regulation

Studies have found that yeast glucan can significantly lower triglyceride levels, lower LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels and raise HDL (high-density lipoprotein) levels. It is effective in preventing cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, and stroke.

Eliminate Wrinkles

Beta Glucan has also been shown to be effective in enhancing the induction of all macrophages in the body. It has a driving effect on the Langerhans' macrophages in the skin, which can play a role in the skin's defense and repair functions, and enhance the synthesis of collagen and elastin proteins in the dermis so that wrinkles disappear. Helps regenerate, rebuild, and repair body tissue structure and promotes wound healing. It is clinically proven that β-1,3/-1,6-Glucan used on the skin can increase the elasticity of the skin, make the skin soft and white, improve the synthesis of collagen and elastin protein, supply a variety of cell growth factors, make wrinkles disappear, pigmentation disappear, skin clean, and repair the sensitive phenomenon.

Regulates Blood Sugar

β-1,3/-1,6-glucan (specific structure) can protect and repair pancreatic β-cells (also known as pancreatic B-cells, accounting for about 70% of the total number of pancreatic islet cells, which can secrete insulin and regulate blood glucose levels). Yeast β-glucan can stimulate the relevant mold substances in the spleen and regulate insulin secretion to achieve the effect of balancing blood glucose. β-glucan's high viscosity and gelling properties increase the barrier effect of the gastric mucous membrane and inhibit glucose metabolism.

Applications:

In the Food Field:

Beta-glucan is used in beverages to adjust the consistency of the solution due to its thickening effect, in flavorings, desserts, dairy, bakery, and other foods. Yeast Beta Glucan powder is used as a food additive in milk, yogurt, and bread to reduce energy intake, it is also used in the meat sector to improve the crispness, and hardness of meat products.

In Cosmetics:

Yeast β-glucan is used in cosmetics for its moisturizing, anti-aging, and wound-healing effects. Such as skin care, shampoo, bath, sunscreen, and beauty products.

For Health Products:

Owing to well-known effects like immunomodulation, anti-tumor activity, lowering serum cholesterol and glucose, and prevention of obesity, yeast beta glucan powder is used as a functional ingredient in the production of nutritional and health products. The Food Marketing Institute (FMI) reported that health and dietary supplement products containing beta-glucan accounted for 33.7% of the global beta-glucan market share in 2014.

In Pharmaceutical:

Beta-glucans have also been added to a number of drug formulations, exploring new drugs with complementary functions in the pharmaceutical industry.

For Feed Product: 

Beta glucan as a partial antibiotic replacement added to pigs, chickens, and other livestock and poultry diets can significantly improve the immune function of animals, promote growth and improve feed conversion efficiency.
