NOW Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan (Beta-Glucan) is a bioactive carbohydrate derived from the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as Baker’s yeast. Scientific studies have shown that yeast-derived Beta-Glucan can interact with certain immune cells, including those present in the gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). The GALT exists in the intestinal tract and is known to play a crucial role in healthy immune system function. NOW Beta-Glucan is blended with Maitake Mushrooms for complementary support.

Beta-1,3/1,6-D-Glucan, 100 mg, 90 Veggie Caps (Now Foods) – Ingredients
- Yeast (Saccharomyces Cerevisiae)Species: Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, Family: Saccharomycetaceae, The Best Supplements – Unique Ingredient Identifier: TBSI ID: IHADCC30.
- Beta-Glucan (C18H32O16)
Beta-glucans are recognized by the innate immune system. These substances increase host immune defense by activating complement system, enhancing macrophages and natural killer cell function. The induction of cellular responses by mushroom and other beta-glucans is likely to involve their specific interaction with several cell surface receptors.
