Yeast β-glucan | Tests show that it is very beneficial to human health, and is known as "Super Ganoderma" and "Immune Gold".
β-glucan (β-glucan) is a homopolymer of glucose, which is abundant in microorganisms, plants and animals. The glucose units of beta-glucans from different sources are linked together in different ways to form biologically active polymers. In the 1940s, Pillemer and Ecker, etc., discovered an active substance in yeast cells, which has an immunostimulatory effect. It was not until about 1960 that Di Luzio and Riggi identified that the active substance was beta-1,3-glucan. Many experimental studies in recent years have shown that β-glucan, which is very beneficial to the physiological functions of the human body, can significantly lower blood sugar and blood lipids, and can also improve immunity, etc. Therefore, the development and research of β-glucan Very hot now.
The highest biological activity is yeast beta-glucan!
beta-glucan
The most biologically active beta-glucan is yeast beta-glucan. Yeast is an important food industry microorganism. Glucan, protein and mannan are the innermost to outermost layers of yeast cell wall respectively. The glucan in the innermost layer is a uniform active polysaccharide. β-glucan is composed of a linear backbone composed of D-glucose linked by β-1, 3 bonds and branches and backbones of β-1, 6 bonds. Compared with ordinary fungi, yeast β-glucan has branches. Longer, yeast beta-glucan has great commercial value in many industries, such as food, medicine, cosmetics and aquaculture.
Super "cellular and molecular" immune regulation, balance immunity!
The most basic function of β-glucan is to have an immunomodulatory effect. In vivo and in vitro experiments have found that β-glucan can stimulate the innate immune system, thereby greatly improving the ability to resist bacteria, fungi and viruses. β-glucan can activate T cells, macrophages and natural killer cells, as well as stimulate the differentiation and activation of T lymphocytes, affect and activate the changes of complement pathways, and finally achieve the effect of enhancing the body's cellular and humoral immunity. Known as "Super Ganoderma", "Immune Gold".
