Different foods include different types of Beta-glucan. The type of Beta-glucan better known for its ability to enhance the immune system is the beta-glucan derived from yeast1-3. This type of beta-glucan has been present for thousands of years in the diet of humans, including children, as part of leavened bread products. Because of its ability to help enhance immune defences, Yeast Beta-glucan may complement other nutrients to promote immune health.
