Jarrow Formulas Beta Glucan 250mg – Immune System Support from Yeast-Derived Beta Glucans
Jarrow Formulas Beta Glucan 250mg is a potent immune-support supplement, delivering highly purified, biologically active beta glucans derived from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast). This formula provides at least 75% β1,3 / β1,6 branched glucans, the specific molecular structure most recognized by the immune system for modulating and enhancing innate immune responses.
Key Benefits of Jarrow Beta Glucan 250mg:
Immune System Modulation
Beta glucans activate key immune cells such as macrophages, neutrophils, natural killer (NK) cells, and dendritic cells, improving your body’s ability to identify, respond to, and eliminate pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
They help enhance non-specific immune defenses, especially helpful during seasonal changes or periods of high stress.
Balanced Immune Response (Not Overstimulating)
Unlike immune stimulants, beta glucans act as immune modulators, meaning they support an appropriate immune response without overstimulation, making them safe for long-term use.
Beneficial for people with weakened immunity or those exposed to frequent infections.
Cellular Health & Antioxidant Defense
Beta glucans help combat oxidative stress and promote cellular resilience, contributing to overall immune vitality and helping to reduce the impact of inflammatory stressors.
Gut-Immune Connection
While not a prebiotic itself, beta glucans interact with gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT), the primary site of immune cell activity in the digestive tract—helping bridge gut and systemic immunity.
What Makes This Formula Unique:
Yeast-Derived (Not from Mushrooms or Grains): Derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, this form offers high-purity β1,3/β1,6 branching, which is considered more effective for immune system activation compared to grain- or mushroom-based beta glucans.
Standardized to at least 75% active beta glucans for optimal bioactivity.
Gentle on digestion and free from common allergens.
Formulation Details:
Active Ingredient: Saccharomyces cerevisiae Extract (standardized beta glucans).
Other Ingredients: Cellulose (bulking agent), magnesium stearate (vegetable source), silicon dioxide (anti-caking agent).
Capsule Type: Bovine gelatin capsule (BSE-free).
Who Can Benefit:
Individuals looking for daily immune system support
Those recovering from illness or under immune stress
People with frequent exposure to viruses or crowded environments
Anyone seeking a natural immune-modulating supplement
