Yeast Beta Glucan Powder, 85% (Pet food ingredients)

Description

Beta-glucan, in powder form, is produced from yeast. It is a type of carbohydrate compound found in the cell walls of microorganisms, yeast, and algae. Beta-glucan possesses the ability to stimulate the immune system of pets. Specifically, beta-glucan enhances the non-specific (innate) immunity, which acts as the first line of defense protecting internal organs from various pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Moreover, it also stimulates the specific (adaptive) immunity, responsible for producing antibodies to combat pathogens that the animal has previously encountered.

Experimental research in dogs and cats has found that supplementing pet food with beta-glucan can help enhance the efficacy of the animal’s immune system. Animals that were fed with beta-glucan fortified food showed a decrease in illness symptoms, recovered from diseases more rapidly, and had a lower chance of infection compared to animals that consumed regular food.

How important is Beta-glucan powder for pets ?

• Boosts Immune System : Beta-glucan stimulates the immune cells of pets, enhancing their resistance to diseases. This helps them prevent infections from various pathogens. Beta-glucan binds to white blood cells, enabling them to capture and eliminate pathogens more efficiently.
• Prevents Infections : Beta-glucan has properties that inhibit the growth of harmful pathogens in pets such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It binds to these pathogens, preventing them from growing and spreading. Additionally, Beta-glucan stimulates white blood cells to produce antibiotics to destroy various pathogens.
• Promotes Digestive Health : Beta-glucan helps increase beneficial microbes in the digestive system of pets, improving its efficiency and reducing issues like diarrhea and constipation. It acts as food for beneficial microbes in the digestive system, such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. These microbes aid in digesting food, produce lactic acid, and inhibit the growth of disease-causing microbes in the digestive system of pets.
• Supports Heart and Blood Vessel Health : Beta-glucan is a nutrient that helps control the level of cholesterol in the blood of pets. It binds to LDL cholesterol, which is harmful and a factor for heart and vascular diseases. Beta-glucan then removes the LDL cholesterol from the cells of pets, reducing blood cholesterol levels. It also promotes blood circulation and reduces inflammation in blood vessels, enhancing the heart and vascular health of pets.
• Promotes Skin Health : Beta-glucan can stimulate the production of new skin cells, strengthening the skin layer. This allows the skin to better protect against external factors and retain moisture, preventing dryness.

From experimental studies in dogs and cats, by dividing the pets into two groups — the first group received food supplemented with Beta-glucan and the second group received regular food — it was found that pets receiving food supplemented with Beta-glucan had significantly reduced itching, red rashes, and skin inflammation compared to the group receiving regular food. Additionally, pets that received food supplemented with Beta-glucan also had moister skin and faster hair growth than the group with regular food. This experimental research indicates that adding Beta-glucan to pet food can effectively promote skin health.
