Beta Glucan

A soluble fiber is one that dissolves in water and forms a thick, gel-like substance. Whereas insoluble fibre, does not dissolve. It absorbs liquid instead as it moves through your digestive tract.

Beta-glucans are soluble fibers found in bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and some plants' cell walls. Known for their ability to support immune function.

Beta glucan can be found in cereal grains such as barley, oats, sorghum, and rye, as well as mushrooms, seaweed, and some yeast strains.

Beta glucan slows sugar absorption in the bloodstream. This aids in the stabilization of blood sugar levels and the improvement of blood sugar regulation. 

Jarrow Formulas Beta Glucan is a high-purity extract from the cell walls of a proprietary Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) strain with a unique molecular structure comprised primarily of (1,3)-ß-linked glucose chains (>75%) and a relatively small number of (1,6)-ß-linked side chains.
