What Is Yeast Beta Glucan Powder?
Yeast Beta Glucan powder is a natural polysaccharide. It is mainly extracted from the cell walls of yeast.
Yeast Beta Glucan powder is a popular ingredient that supports overall immune system health in the human body. It activates and optimizes the natural immune defense. In this gentle and effective way, it helps the body maintain strong resistance to defend against challenges in everyday environments.
As a functional active ingredient, Yeast Beta Glucan powder helps enhance the immune system, support gut health, and promote overall balance of the body. It has become a popular ingredient among premium nutritional supplements.
Functions of Our Yeast Beta Glucan Powder
Yeast Beta Glucan powder can bind with specific receptors on immune cells (such as dectin-1 and complement receptor 3). In this way, it effectively activates macrophages and neutrophils. This mechanism enhances the body’s first defense barrier against external pathogens.
You can apply it in your dietary supplements and daily functional healthcare formulations.
Yeast Beta Glucan can stimulate fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis. Meanwhile, it also has a powerful ability in free radical removal. This mechanism is utilized in dietary supplements and daily functional healthcare formulations to support the body’s natural defense barrier.
You can utilize our Yeast Beta Glucan powder in your skincare products such as anti-aging creams, skin barrier recovery serums, and post-sun soothing lotions.
As part of a balanced diet, Yeast Beta Glucan supports normal cholesterol metabolism. Its physical properties help manage dietary fat and handle lipids. In addition, it helps maintain cardiovascular health by promoting a healthier lipid profile in the human body.
You can apply our Yeast Beta Glucan powder in your heart health supplements, cholesterol-lowering meal replacement shakes, and functional beverages.
As a selective prebiotic fiber, Yeast Beta Glucan can resist the digestion of the upper gastrointestinal tract and reaches the colon intact. It acts as a preferred nutrient source and can selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria in the colon. In this way, Yeast Beta Glucan helps with the balance of the gut microbiome.
You can use it in your gut wellness support supplements such as digestive health powders, prebiotic gut-support capsules, and synbiotic formulas.

Step 1: Strain and Raw Material Preparation: We get highly active yeast cells through strain cultivation and expansion cultivation. Meanwhile, the ingredients undergo acceptance, storage, and material handling processes for further processing.
Step 2: Yeast Separation, Washing, and Cell Wall Breaking: We separate fermentation liquid and yeast, then wash the yeast to remove impurities. We break the yeast cell walls by enzymatic hydrolysis technology. In this way, the target cell walls are separated from intracellular components.
Step 3: Separation, Washing and Spray Drying: We separate and wash the enzymatic hydrolysate to purify the beta-glucan component. Then it undergoes a spray drying process to convert the liquid into uniform powder.
Step 4: Post-Processing and Purification: The dry powder needs to pass a sieving procedure to remove oversized particles and impurities. Then the powder is mixed to ensure excellent uniformity. We apply a magnetic adsorption process to eliminate microscopic metallic impurities for superior purity.
Step 5: Packaging and Storage: We use food-grade PE bags as the inner packing material. The powder is sealed in the PE bags in a cleanroom. Then the powder is packed with aluminium foil bags or cardboard drums based on the quantity and sent to the warehouse.
