We often get the question, “Why is your product more expensive than all the other beta glucans on the market?” It’s not difficult to understand why this is asked due to the raw material, baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), being so much more cost-effective than the finished product. Baker’s yeast is the best raw material for glucan isolation and bioavailability. However, it is rather challenging to procure the glucan molecule out of the yeast cell wall in a highly active form. The problem lies in removing the impurities: the lipids and mannoproteins, which are connected to the ends of the side branches in the intact cell wall. Unfortunately, the removal can result in pronounced loss of desirable, biological activity.
