What makes a quality beta glucan?

How do you know that a yeast beta glucan ingredient is the best choice for supporting immune health? Basically, it comes down to three factors: how it works, how it’s made, and standardization.How it works: High-quality beta glucans are supported by a well-developed understanding of an ingredient’s biological activity, and its mechanism for action in the body. Each beta glucan source has a different structure (molecular backbone and level of branching), which affects its biological activity. As an example, take baker’s yeast beta glucans, which are extracted from the cell walls of yeast. Certain strains, like Frong's beta glucan, have demonstrated immune health benefits which have been supported by clinical research.How it’s made: The manufacturing or processing methods used to extract the beta glucans can impact their structure. If the beta glucan’s structure is damaged or altered during the manufacturing process, the result could be a loss of measurable immune health benefits in the finished product.Standardization: Simply put, standardization is a process of confirming that the product being made contains the right amount of an ingredient in the right quantity to provide a benefit. To ensure that the ingredient is stable and works well, manufacturers must ensure standardization. Standardization helps manufacturers establish serving size, manufacturing consistency, and stability of the product. Common standardization practices include:Characterization: This practice involves identifying the substance and mapping its characteristics, and detecting the presence of impurities. This ensures a safe product that delivers on claims.Measurement: Ingredients are measured so that the amount of the active ingredient in the product is enough to provide the stated benefit, helping consumers choose the best options for their needs.Stability and shelf life testing: This testing ensures that the ingredient is stable and effective, so consumers can be sure the product will continue providing benefits for its stated shelf life.As well, biomarker testing can help reveal the biological change that occurs when the product is consumed, indicating its effectiveness.
