Beta Glucan is a complex polysaccharide composed of glucose mollecules extracted and purified from the cell wall of common baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Animal and human cell culture studies have shown that beta glucan can stimulate several aspects of immune function, such as phagocytosis and interleukin production. Source Naturals Beta Glucan uses a purification process that removes the mannoproteins and yeast residues that may reduce the effectiveness of beta glucan.

Beta Sitosterol-Phytosterols are natural components of many vegetables and grains. Preliminary scientific research suggests that plant phytosterols may help to support cholesterol wellness when consumed as part of a low cholesterol dietary program.

Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin. It is required by our bodies due to its involvement in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism.
