Optimized for 70% (1,3)/(1,6) Beta Glucans
Our premium organic mushroom complex is optimized for 70% concentrations of (1,3)/(1,6) Beta Glucans. These potent polysaccharides act as a prebiotic within the gut. Beta-glucans have been shown to indirectly stimulate L-cells in the gut, which are responsible for secreting GLP-1. These specialized cells are activated when beta-glucans are fermented by beneficial gut bacteria, creating metabolites that trigger L-cell activity. This can lead to an increase in natural GLP-1.
The (1,3)/(1,6) Beta Glucans in our mushroom complex are fermented by gut bacteria to produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), such as butyrate, acetate, and propionate. These SCFAs, particularly butyrate, have been shown to stimulate L-cells, leading to increased GLP-1.
(1,3)/(1,6) beta-glucans are selectively fermented by beneficial gut bacteria, including Lactobacillus. This selectivity provides Lactobacillus with a sustained source of energy and nutrients to proliferate and thrive. One of the unique properties of (1,3)/(1,6) beta-glucans is their slow fermentation rate, which allows for extended fermentation along the entire length of the colon, including the distal regions. Unlike more rapidly fermenting fibers, these beta-glucans provide a prolonged supply of nutrients, fostering the continued growth of Lactobacillus throughout the colon. This slow and steady fermentation helps maintain higher populations of Lactobacillus and other beneficial microbes over a longer period.
Our mushroom complex is derived from the highest quality, organically grown US mushrooms. These nutrient dense mushrooms are then taken through a cutting edge, chemical free, ultrasonic extraction method that is able to achieve a 70% concentration of the key active nutrients, (1,3)/(1,6) beta-glucans.
