Greenherb supplies a high-purity, scientifically-backed Yeast Beta Glucan Powder, derived from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast). Our ingredient is meticulously processed to isolate and concentrate β-1,3/1,6-glucans, a unique form of soluble fiber renowned for its immune-modulating properties. This clean-label, well-researched powder is designed for manufacturers of dietary supplements and functional foods seeking a reliable, evidence-based ingredient to support immune health and overall resilience.
We support global customers with scalable supply, comprehensive immunological data, and formulations tailored for international regulatory compliance.
Superior Structural Purity – Contains a high concentration (>70%) of β-1,3/1,6-glucans, the specific molecular structure with the most robust clinical support for priming innate immune cells.
Well-Characterized Immune Mechanism – Recognized by immune receptors (e.g., Dectin-1) on macrophages and neutrophils, supporting the body’s first line of defense in a non-stimulating, modulating manner.*
Excellent Scientific & Clinical Backing – Supported by numerous human clinical studies for supporting upper respiratory tract health and overall immune function during times of physical stress.*
Highly Soluble & Bioavailable – Our processing yields a powder with excellent solubility and small particle size, enhancing gastrointestinal absorption and biological activity.
Allergen-Friendly & Non-GMO – Derived from a non-allergenic yeast strain (not from grains like oats or barley), suitable for gluten-free and clean-label formulations.
Stable Under Processing Conditions – Maintains structural integrity and efficacy in various pH conditions and during standard manufacturing processes like tableting and baking.
Complete Technical Dossier – Supplied with detailed specifications, immune-activity assays, and supportive scientific literature for your product claims development.
Greenherb's Yeast Beta Glucan Powder represents a next-generation functional ingredient in the immune support category. Unlike plant-based beta-glucans (e.g., from oats or mushrooms), yeast-derived β-1,3/1,6-glucan offers a uniquely branched structure that is exceptionally effective at training and supporting the body's innate immune system. This ingredient is ideal for brands developing sophisticated, science-forward products in the immune health, wellness resilience, and specialized nutrition sectors, providing a potent, soluble, and easy-to-formulate active component.
Source: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Baker’s Yeast) Cell Wall
Active Component: Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan
Purity: Typically >70% Beta-Glucan content (dry basis)
Appearance: Fine, free-flowing off-white to cream-colored powder
Solubility: Soluble in water, forming a clear to slightly opalescent colloidal solution.
Particle Size: Controlled fine particle size (<50 microns) for optimal dispersion and bioavailability.
Our proprietary process focuses on the precise extraction and purification of immunologically active beta-glucans from yeast:
Yeast Cultivation & Harvesting: Controlled fermentation of a proprietary, non-GMO Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain.
Cell Wall Isolation: Mechanical disruption and separation of the robust yeast cell walls from intracellular contents.
Selective Extraction: Alkaline and enzymatic treatments to solubilize and extract the beta-glucan polymers while removing proteins, mannans, and other cell wall components.
Precipitation & Purification: The beta-glucan is precipitated, washed, and purified to achieve a high-purity, concentrated form.
Drying & Milling: The purified glucan is gently dried and milled to a precise, fine particle size to maximize surface area and solubility.
Activity Verification: Final product is analyzed not only for glucan content (via enzymatic methods) but also for immunological activity in relevant bioassays.
This specialized powder is primarily used for its foundational role in supporting immune system preparedness and balance:
Immune System Priming & Modulation: Trains innate immune cells (macrophages, neutrophils) to be more efficient at identifying and responding to challenges, supporting overall immune vigilance.
Respiratory Health Support: Clinically studied to help maintain upper respiratory tract health during periods of seasonal and environmental challenges.
Support During Physical Stress: Helps maintain robust immune function during intense exercise or other physically demanding periods.
Gut-Immune Axis Support: As a soluble fiber, it may positively influence gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), a major component of the body’s immune system.
