Mushroom Beta-Glucan Powder – 50%
Mushroom beta-glucans are (1,3)/(1,6)-linked polysaccharides obtained by hot-water extraction of medicinal mushrooms and standardized to 30% or 50% beta-glucans. They are valued in immune and wellness formulas rooted in East Asian tradition. Beta-glucan should be measured by a specific enzymatic method (e.g. Megazyme), not total polysaccharides.
GUTINS Mushroom Beta-Glucan — 50% is offered for manufacturers, formulators and brands. Specification: 50%; form / technology: Powder / functional ingredient; diet suitability: Generally vegetarian.
