Beta-glucans are polysaccharides: branched chains of glucose molecules (glucan) connected by beta-1,3 and beta-1,6-linkages. They may be extracted from brewer s yeast, shitake mushrooms, and oats.

Beta-glucans interact with the gut-associated immune system, moderating biological functions in the body by way of stimulating antibody producing B-cells to secrete IgA proteins into the mucosa.
