Yeast Beta Glucans can be a polysaccharide fraction extracted from the yeast cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Beta Glucans have been shown to be a useful feed ingredient for production enhancements and is "compatible" with current management practices for the all natural prevention / treatment of bacterial and viral infections and reduction of growth promotion antibiotics.

(C) Chemical Structure

Yeast Beta Glucan is a polysaccharide molecule made up of glucose subunits in a specific arrangement. The Beta-1,3/1,6-D-glucans are different from energy storing glucose containing polysaccharides, because the connection between the glucose units is different. More specifically, it is the beta 1-3/1-6 linkage, which makes this compound so unique.
