Physiological Functions Of Yeast Glucan

Anti radiation, neutralizing chemical toxins
When ionizing radiation or chemical toxins penetrate biological tissues, the energy of the particles or chemical molecules of the radiation is directly absorbed by the biomolecules, or through ion diffusion and the action of free radicals, other biomolecules undergo chemical changes, causing physical and chemical damage. The unique inverted triple helix structure of pectin can neutralize toxins in the body and promote hematopoietic function. Administration of β - glucan can enhance the activity of blood cell generation, including the generation of granulocytes, monocytes, and red blood cells, leading to better recovery from lethal doses of radiation or toxins. The US Air Force Biological Research Center treated mice with lethal doses of radiation and toxins and found that 80% of individuals who had previously taken β - glucan orally were completely unaffected by the toxicity.
Eliminate toxins and enhance immune function. Yeast glucan can stimulate and enhance the phagocytic activity of immune cells such as NK cells and macrophages, stimulate the release of interleukin to enhance the body's ability to resist harmful toxins, effectively enhance the body's ability to clear toxins, and improve the body's immunity;
Repair cells and have anti radiation effects. The anti radiation effect of pectin is the result of promoting hematopoietic function. Yeast glucan can enhance the generation activity of blood cells, including granulocytes, monocytes, and organ tissue cells, thereby restoring body cells damaged by lethal doses of radiation.
☆ Regulate blood lipids. Research has found that yeast glucan can significantly reduce human triglyceride levels, lower LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels, and increase HDL (high-density lipoprotein) levels, effectively preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, and stroke;
☆ Anti tumor. The main goal of studying the anti-cancer function of yeast β - glucan is to enhance the activity and phagocytic ability of macrophages present in higher mammalian tissues. One of the functions of β - glucan is to enhance the ability of macrophages. Yeast glucan can enhance the phagocytic ability of macrophages by several times or more, and usually has a strong inhibitory rate on mutant cells. While protecting and enhancing the combat ability of immune cells, it can further target dormant, drug-resistant, and subclinical lesions of "residual tumor cells" for targeted killing.
β - glucan has the ability to scavenge free radicals and resist oxidation
Dr. Patchen from the US Air Force Radiobiology Research Center reported that β - glucan can effectively eliminate free radicals in the body, thereby protecting macrophages from free radical attacks after radiation, allowing these macrophages to continue to function normally.
☆ Effective oral immunostimulants
All kinds of cancers, persistent and incurable hepatitis B, rheumatic diseases, recurrent oral ulcers, allergies, autoimmune diseases, various infectious diseases, and even the aging process of people have a common feature: the immune response is weak or incomplete. The role of β -1,3/-1,6-glucan is to strengthen the weak or imperfect immune response and return to normal.
β -1,3/-1,6-glucan is a hexavalent bond structure, and its mitogenic activity can assist immune cells from multiple perspectives. This includes increasing the activity of natural killer cells and T cell-mediated cytotoxicity, enhancing the proliferation response of peripheral monocytes to produce mitogens, stimulating the release of interleukins, and inducing phagocytosis of neutrophils. Its functions can effectively enhance the human immune system, improve the human immune system, and achieve the optimal balance of the self immune system. Czap from the Harvard International School of Biochemistry said that pectin makes these immune cells a "defensive arsenal".
Reduce cholesterol, prevent and treat stone disease
When yeast glucan B enters the human body, its unique triple helix structure determines that it will not be hydrolyzed into glucose and other monosaccharides in the gastrointestinal tract (therefore, it has no effect on diabetic patients taking β -1,3 and 1,6-glucan), but it will combine with specific receptors, through endocytosis (or pinocytosis), eventually pass through the intestinal epithelium, enter the lymphatic system, and enter the blood system from the lymphatic system to play a role. Cholesterol in the liver will be converted into bile acid, which can help digest lipids when it reaches the small intestine. Bile acid will then be absorbed back into the liver by the small intestine and converted into cholesterol. As yeast glucan, as a dietary fiber, can form a gelatinous substance in the small intestine to surround bile acid, bile acid cannot be absorbed back into the liver through the small intestinal wall, but is excreted through the digestive tract. Therefore, when bile acid is needed for digestion of food in the intestine, the liver can only rely on absorbing cholesterol from the blood to supplement the consumed bile acid, thereby reducing cholesterol in the blood. β - glucan has the function of absorbing bile acids and promoting their excretion from the body, promoting the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids, maintaining the normal metabolism of cholesterol, effectively inhibiting the increase of cholesterol in serum, and preventing and treating stone diseases in the body.
Regulating blood sugar levels
It can improve the perception of insulin in peripheral tissues, reduce the requirement for insulin, promote the recovery of glucose, and have obvious inhibitory and preventive effects on diabetes.
β -1,3/-1,6-glucan (specific structure) can protect and repair pancreatic beta cells (also known as pancreatic beta cells, accounting for about 70% of the total number of pancreatic beta cells, can secrete insulin, and play a role in regulating blood glucose levels)
Yeast β - glucan can stimulate relevant fungal substances in the spleen, regulate insulin secretion, and achieve the effect of balancing blood sugar
The high viscosity and gelling properties of β - glucan increase the gastric mucosal barrier function and inhibit glucose metabolism.
Eliminate wrinkles and pigmentation
β - glucan has also been proven to effectively enhance the sensing ability of all macrophages in the human body. It has a driving effect on Langerhans macrophages in the skin, can exert skin defense and repair functions, improve the synthesis ability of collagen and elastin proteins in the dermis, and eliminate wrinkles. Assist in the regeneration, reconstruction, and repair of body tissue structures, and promote wound healing. Clinical evidence has shown that β -1,3/-1,6-glucan, when used on the skin, can increase skin elasticity, make the skin soft and fair, improve the synthesis of collagen and elastin, supply various cell growth factors, eliminate wrinkles, pigmentation, cleanse the skin, and repair sensitivity. Enhance skin resistance, awaken the self-cleaning function of the skin's "cleaner", and showcase healthy and beautiful skin.
