1. Enhance immunity:
Yeast glucan can increase the activity of immune cells (NK cells, macrophages) and improve the body's ability to defend against harmful substances. Beta-glucan can stimulate the innate immune system and achieve the ability to resist bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It is known as "Super Ganoderma" and "Immune Gold". Tumor immunotherapy is an important adjuvant treatment method after tumor surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. It has the advantages of strong specificity, broad anti-tumor spectrum, and mild side effects. In recent decades, β-glucan has been widely used in the research of tumor immunotherapy as a natural biological effect modulator.
2. Anti-tumor
High-dose yeast β-glucan can significantly increase macrophage activity and enhance humoral immune function. Yeast β-glucan can induce macrophages to produce interleukin-2 (IL-2) and nitric oxide (NO). ), thus improving immunity and having strong inhibitory activity on the proliferation of cancer cells.
3. Anti-radiation, promote hematopoiesis
The anti-radiation effect of dextran is the result of promoting hematopoietic function. Yeast beta-glucan enhances blood cell production activity, including granulocyte production, mononuclear leukocyte production, and red blood cell production, leading to better recovery from lethal doses of radiation.
4. Adjust blood lipids
Yeast glucan can significantly reduce body triglycerides, reduce LDL (low-density protein), and increase HDL (high-density protein), effectively preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis.
5. Lower cholesterol
As dietary fiber, yeast glucan can form a gel-like substance in the small intestine to surround cholic acid. Cholic acid cannot be absorbed back to the liver through the small intestinal wall, but is excreted through the digestive tract. Therefore, when the food in the intestine is digested again, it needs When cholic acid is consumed, the liver can only replenish the consumed cholic acid by absorbing cholesterol from the blood, thereby lowering the cholesterol in the blood.
6. Prevent and treat stones
Beta glucan can absorb bile acids and promote the excretion of bile acids from the body, promote the conversion of cholesterol into bile acids, maintain the inherent normal metabolism of cholesterol, effectively inhibit the increase of cholesterol in serum, and prevent and treat stone diseases in the body.
7. Regulate blood sugar
Yeast β-glucan can absorb glucose, delay the absorption of sugar in the body, effectively inhibit the rapid rise of blood sugar, and also inhibit the secretion of glucagon. It improves the sensitivity of peripheral tissues to insulin and reduces the body's requirement for insulin, thus having a certain effect on the prevention of diabetes. It can also regulate blood sugar levels in diabetic patients, especially for insulin-dependent diabetes.
8. Eliminate wrinkles and spots
Beta glucan has also been proven to effectively enhance the sensitivity 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, and increase collagen and elasticity in the dermis. The protein synthesis ability makes wrinkles disappear. Helps the body's tissue structure to regenerate, rebuild, and repair, and promotes wound healing.Yeast glucan promotes wound healing based on the above principle.
The human body cannot synthesize yeast glucan and can only rely on external things to supplement it. Many diseases are caused by our reduced resistance (for example, our usual colds and fevers are immune factors fighting bacteria and viruses. If our resistance is good, we will be fine the next day. If the resistance is poor, you may be sick for a few days), and as we age, many organs in our human body are declining. Glucan is a leader who keeps the immune army young and energetic at all times, ready to defend at any time healthy!
