Product Description
Beta-glucan is a fiber-type complex sugar (polysaccharide) derived from the cell wall of bakers yeast, oat and barley fiber, and many medicinal mushrooms, such as maitake. In their natural states, yeast and mushrooms contain a mixture of beta-1,3-glucan and beta-1,6-glucan. Oats and barley contain a mixture of beta-1,3-glucan and beta-1,4-glucan. In addition to purified beta-1,3-glucan from these sources, you may see products listed as beta-1,3/1,6-glucan in the case of yeast-derived products and as beta-1,3/1,4-glucan when derived from oats. Similar (if not identical) properties have been shown for beta-glucan-rich extracts and purified beta-glucan derived from oats, bakers yeast, and mushrooms.
Benefits
"1.β-Glucans and immune system β-Glucans are known as ""biological response modifiers"" because of their ability to activate the immune system.[6] Immunologists have discovered that receptors on the surface of innate immune cells called dectin-1 and complement receptor 3 (CR3 or CD11b/CD18) are responsible for binding to β-glucans, allowing the immune cells to recognize them as ""non-self"". 2.Tumorcidal effects The tumoricidal properties of β-glucans have been studied in several in vitro and in vivo animal models. In a mouse model study, β-1,3 glucan in conjunction with interferon gamma inhibited tumors and liver metastasis. In some studies, β-1,3 glucans enhanced the effects of chemotherapy. In a mouse carcinoma model, β-1,3 glucans did not reduce tumor incidence, but were associated with reduced mortality in combination with cyclophosphamide. In human patients with advanced gastric or colorectal cancer, the administration of β-1,3 glucans derived from shiitake mushrooms, in conjunction with chemotherapy, resulted in prolonged survival times."
