1,3 Beta glucans min 70% from yeast

Product code: P02024

Yeast (1-3), (1-6)-β-D-glucans differ from the beta glucans that are found in oats and barley (cereal beta-glucans are joined by 1,3 and 1,4 carbon linkages and are associated with maintenance of healthy cholesterol levels and lower blood glucose rises after a meal); yeast beta-glucans are insoluble, whereas ceral beta glucans are soluble. Yeast beta glucans also tend to have long branching.
