China H&Z® Beta-Glucan is the polysaccharid composed by glucose, they are combined through β-1,3 mostly, which is the connection form of glucose chain. It can activate the macrophage and neutrophil leucocyte etc, so that increase the content of leucocyte, cytokinin and special antibody, excite the immune system of human body. And the body can have better preparations for resist the disease caused by microbial.

Beta-Glucan/β-glucansare CAS NO:9051-97-2
Beta-Glucan/β-glucansare Introduction:
β-glucansare a diverse group of molecules that can vary with respect to molecular mass,solubility, viscosity, andthree-dimensional configuration.
They occur mostcommonly as cellulose in plants, the bran of cereal grains, the cell wallofbaker's yeast, certain fungi, mushrooms and bacteria. Some forms of betaglucans are useful in human nutrition as texturingagents and as soluble fibersupplements, but can be problematic in the process of brewing.
