Yeast (1,3)-(1,6)-beta-glucan helps to maintain the body’s defence against pathogens: This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study demonstrated that supplementation with yeast beta-glucan reduced the number of symptomatic common cold infections by 25% compared to placebo. Participants also reported milder symptoms and improved sleep quality during infections. PMC
Effects of β-glucans on fatigue: a systematic review and meta-analysis: This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the impact of β-glucans on fatigue in healthy individuals. The findings suggested that β-glucans may effectively reduce feelings of fatigue, increase vigor, and improve mood states. Nature+1Frontiers+1
Recognition of yeast β-glucan particles triggers immunometabolic reprogramming in human macrophages: This study explored how fungal β-glucans, including those from yeast, drive trained immunity, leading to enhanced long-term protection against secondary infections through immunometabolic reprogramming of human macrophages.
