Yeast β-glucan is a scientifically proven biological defense modifier (BDM) that nutritionally
potentiates and modulates the immune response. As a supplement, after swallowing orally, Beta
glucan is ingested primarily through macrophage and dendritic immune cells, to nutritionally and
safely yield, through immune response potentiation and modulation, in many instances various
therapeutic healing effects generated by the immune cells. Yeast beta glucan have been
investigated for these immune enhancing properties, particularly their ability to activate
macrophage immune cells and NK-Cells, plus in turn, the T-Cells, and B-Cells including selected
cytokines and complement cells.
Function
☆ Fortify the immunity: Yeast glucan can activate the immunocytes, such as the NK cell,
macrophage, therefore, it can stimulate the immunity;
☆ Anti-radiation: Yeast glucan can speed the production of red blood cells and leukocytes,
so it can speed the revival after the radiation;
☆ Adjust the hyperlipidemia: The study indicate that the yeast glucan can reduce the
LDL(low-density lipoprotein) level and increase the HDL(high-density lipoprotein) level in
the blood;
Characteristics
☆ Natural: Yeast glucan is extracted from natural yeast cell;
☆ High activity: Functions of fortifying immunity, anti-radiation are better than other glucans;
Applications
☆ As the raw materials of all kinds of foods, such as biscuits, dairy products, beverage,
desserts;
☆ As the raw materials of functional foods, such as foods fortifying the immunity,
weight-losing foods and anti-aging foods etc;
