Beta-glucans

Beta-glucans are soluble fibres found naturally in oats, barley, and certain mushrooms. They are known to lower LDL cholesterol and support healthy blood sugar levels after meals. They also have well-established immune-supporting properties, particularly the beta-glucans derived from yeast and medicinal mushrooms such as reishi and shiitake. They are available as capsules or powders and can also be obtained in meaningful amounts from a bowl of porridge.
