What Is Beta Glucan and How Does It Support Children's Immunity?
Beta glucan is a natural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of yeast, fungi, and some grains. The beta 1,3/1,6 glucan used in these tablets comes from a specific strain of baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This highly purified form is chosen for its molecular structure, which research suggests affects how the body responds.
Since our bodies don't produce beta glucan naturally, supplementation is an easy way to include this immune-supporting compound in your child's daily routine. Each chewable tablet contains 25 mg of beta glucan in a natural orange flavour that kids enjoy.
How to Choose a Quality Beta Glucan Supplement
Not all beta glucan supplements are the same. The source, purity, and molecular structure can affect how well they work. Here's what to look for:
-
Source: Beta glucan from baker's yeast (S. cerevisiae) is well-studied. Look for products that specify the strain and purity.
-
Form: Highly purified beta 1,3/1,6 glucan is often best for bioactivity.
-
Certifications: Third-party testing, GMP certification, and Non-GM verification add peace of mind.
-
Dosage: Age-appropriate dosing matters. This product offers 25 mg per tablet with clear age recommendations.
