1. What Is Yeast Beta Glucan?
Yeast Beta Glucan is a naturally occurring polysaccharide composed primarily of β-1,3 and β-1,6 glycosidic linkages, extracted from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Unlike cereal beta glucans, yeast-derived beta glucan exhibits a branched molecular structure, which has been widely studied for its biological interaction with immune cell receptors and skin barrier functions.
Key structural features:
-
β-1,3 backbone with β-1,6 side chains
-
High molecular integrity
-
Water-dispersible powder format
2. Product Source & Raw Material Origin
-
Biological source: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
-
Raw material selection: Food-grade yeast strains
-
Non-GMO / allergen-controlled sourcing
-
Full batch traceability from fermentation to finished powder
AIHerba maintains supplier qualification systems and raw material audits to ensure stable long-term quality for industrial buyers.
3. Mechanism of Action (Scientific Overview)
Yeast Beta Glucan interacts with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as Dectin-1 and CR3 on immune cells. This interaction has been studied for its role in supporting normal immune system signaling and maintaining immune homeostasis.
In cosmetic applications, beta glucan contributes to:
-
Skin barrier support
-
Moisture retention
-
Formulation stability
⚠️ This ingredient is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
