Can Yeast β-glucan fight COVID-19?

The emergence of the novel coronavirus SARS-Cov-2, which causes severe respiratory infections, is the primary concern of public health worldwide. The majority of the coronaviruses infect animals, but they can evolve into strains that infect humans. In the context of the COVID-19 outbreak, a particular interest developed to find the solutions to COVID-19. From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the doctors advise us to reduce the exposure and take care of ourselves if we get infected. These are some essential tips, but we need to focus on the immune system. It is critical to boosting the immune system if

Yeast beta β-glucans in Animal health

Keywords: Yeast β-glucans, Animal immunity, β-glucans feeds, antibiotic alternatives, Ruminants The livestock industry or local dairy farmers are looking for alternatives to the use of antibiotics. They are searching for supplements to enhance growth, performance, and animal health. Generally, livestock producers use antibiotics to minimize the impact of these diseases on animals. However, antibiotic use is a severe public concern as their residual presence in meat and other dairy products. Furthermore, antibiotic resistance is continuously developing in pathogenic bacteria.Additionally, antibiotics cause environmental pollution, which is harmful to both animals and humans. However, the use of antibiotics for growth promotion is

Use of yeast-derived beta (β)-glucans to prevent cancer

Keywords: Cancer treatment by yeast beta-glucan, Beta-glucan cancer testimonials, Food enriched with beta-glucans, Baker-yeast beta-glucans, Beta-glucan side effects, Trained immunity, Adaptive immunity Introduction Beta (β)-glucans are the substances that are known for their immune-modulatory effects. These substances are now used more and more in various food and other dietary commodities because of their beneficial health effects. Although, some people are only aware of some of the beneficial health effects of beta-glucans. However, it will be interesting for the public to know that beta-glucans also help in fighting against cancer. Additionally, the functional role of the beta-glucans depends upon their chemical

The Usage of Yeast Beta Glucan

The importance of dietary fiber as part of a balanced diet for human health is widely recognized. The β-glucans are a type of soluble fiber for which effects on glycemia, insulinemia levels, cholesterol, and immunity have been proposed. What is yeast beta glucan? Yeast-derived beta glucans usually originate in either baker’s yeast or brewer’s yeast. Even though both are beta 1,3/1,6 glucan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the source matters—the beta glucans extracted from the cell walls of baker’s yeast have a different molecular pattern from that of brewer’s yeast, which can influence the immune-modulating abilities of the final product. Research supports

Different Sources of Beta Glucan

The importance of dietary fiber as part of a balanced diet for human health is widely recognized. The β-glucans are a type of soluble fiber for which effects on glycemia, insulinemia levels, cholesterol, and immunity have been proposed.Beta glucans are long chains of glucose molecules that form a non-digestible fiber. Beta glucan is found in various organisms, including cereal grains like oat and barley, fungi, bacteria, and algae. Different sources of beta-glucan Beta glucans exist in a variety of structures and serve different purposes depending on the source. Those different structures impact how the beta glucans interact with their bodies
