Name：BETA-GLUCAN

CAS：160872-27-5

Function：

Immune regulation: β-glucan can activate immune cells in animals, such as macrophages and natural killer cells, enhance their phagocytic ability and bactericidal activity, and promote immune cells to secrete cytokines (e.g., interleukin, interferon), thereby improving the overall immune function of animals. This helps animals better resist pathogen invasion and prevent/reduce the occurrence of diseases.

- Antioxidation: β-glucan has certain antioxidant effects, which can scavenge free radicals produced in animals, reduce oxidative stress damage to cells and tissues, maintain the health of the animal body, and improve the stress resistance of animals. It plays a protective role when animals are affected by stress factors such as environmental changes or diseases.

- Improving intestinal function: β-glucan can act as a prebiotic to promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial microorganisms (e.g., Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus) in the animal intestine, regulate the balance of intestinal flora, enhance the intestinal barrier function, reduce the incidence of intestinal diseases, improve the digestion and absorption efficiency of nutrients by animals, and thus promote their growth and development.

- Adsorbing toxins: β-glucan can adsorb certain toxins in the animal intestine, such as bacterial endotoxins and mycotoxins, reduce the harm of these toxins to the animal body, lower the risk of various toxin-induced diseases, and protect important organs (e.g., liver, kidney) from toxin damage.
