Beta glucans occur as a natural component of cell walls in different types of cereals, such as oats, as well as in fungi, algae or yeasts. They consist of several D-glucose molecules and cannot be cleaved by human enzymes. For this reason, beta glucans belong to the dietary fibres.
Big impact
Beta glucans have been part of various studies for several decades. These show that they can regulate blood sugar and improve the feeling of satiety. Furthermore, they can activate the immune system and improve intestinal health (source).
Our beta glucans are from oats and mushrooms.
