Why is Beta-glucan Good for Animals?

β-glucans are soluble polysaccharides that act as the major structural component of fungal and plant cell walls. They are mostly found in mushrooms, seaweeds, yeasts and cereals such as barley and oats. Beta-glucans are known for their immune-stimulating properties and have been studied for their potential health benefits.

Beta-glucans are indigestible by human digestive enzymes in the small intestine, but they can be fermented by good gut bacteria in the colon, releasing short-chain fatty acids that provide energy to the cells of the colon. Additionally, beta-glucans can bind to various toxins and carcinogens in the colon and help eliminate them from the body.

The special β-1,3&β-1,6 Glucan activate the immunity
In the series of β-glucan, β-1,3-1,6 Glucan, the most superior structure, can activate the immunity function in the small intestine which is highly recognized by worldwide research institutes.

Beta-glucans have some pretty amazing properties that make them an excellent dietary addition for your pets. Undersun Biomedtech has been working on the R&D of beta-glucan for over 14 years mainly from reishi mushroom, oat, yeast, shiitake mushroom, chaga mushroom... Beta-glucans from our factory enhance the protection of your puppies.

Why is Beta-glucan Good for Animals?

• Protecting against metabolic disease

β-glucans are widely known to protect humans and animals against metabolic diseases such as insulin resistance, heart disease and obesity. This is due to their high viscosity and fermentability within the gut.

Due to their rapid physical development and the lasting effects of their early experiences on their personalities, puppies' first few months of existence are extremely important. Additionally, puppies at this young age are more vulnerable to infections that, if left untreated, could result in serious illness.

β-glucans swell into a gel-like material that covers the gut lining as they go through the digestive system. The digestive process and the absorption of glucose and cholesterol are both slowed by this thick layer. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are created when bacteria in the colon ferment -glucans. Through the creation of serotonin and other appetite-regulating chemicals, SCFAs help people feel full and sated. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that they increase the sensitivity of the insulin receptors in muscle cells.

• β-glucans are great for the gut

By encouraging the development and activity of "good" bacteria in your dog's intestines, β-glucans help to maintain the health of his or her digestive system. This is due to the fact that they are prebiotic fibers, which are necessary for the development of probiotics, or beneficial bacteria.

By preventing "bad" bacteria and other infections, probiotics directly protect gut immunity. Additionally, they create a vast variety of nutrients, enzymes, and other substances that improve digestion and control the operation of almost every cell in your pet's body. They create folic acid, for instance, which is necessary for the development of red blood cells.

• Stimulating the immune system

β-glucan's ability to regulate the immune response has been well documented across over 20,000+ studies over the last 50 years. This research has been conducted in vitro (ie. test tube) as well as in animal and human-based clinical studies. Fort example, a pet's immune system can be strengthened when it is weakened and calmed down when it is overactive thanks to -glucans' ability to serve as immunomodulators. Pets are naturally protected against infection, inflammation, and disease when immune function is balanced and improved in this way.

A variety of white blood cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, granulocytes, dendritic cells, and natural killer cells, attach to and are stimulated by -glucans once they are in the bloodstream. By consuming bacteria, foreign cells, dead and dying cells, mutant cells, and other harmful intruders that don't belong in your pet's body, these innate immune cells defend against infection and cancer.

A puppy's immune system is particularly prone to bacterial and viral infections during the first year of life. Serious illness can result from these. Providing our puppies with a healthy diet, routine deworming, sufficient socialization, and the right vaccinations are all typical procedures that can stop the spread of disease.

Additionally, a recent study clearly suggests that by putting -glucans in a puppy's diet, we can do even more to maximize their natural defenses!

Dogs have both innate and adaptive immune systems, just like the rest of the vertebrate family. A rudimentary form of defense known as innate immunity is focused on all infections that enter the body rather than any particular intruders. Adaptive immunity is developed through time and is reliant on T and B immune cells, which can recognize and respond very specifically to a wide range of infections. Adaptive immune function is the basis for vaccine effectiveness.

A puppy's primary defenses can be strengthened and balanced by beta-glucans, which help them survive after the maternal antibodies have worn off and before their adaptive immunity has fully matured.

β-glucan is safe and functional for your pets

Since β-glucan is a natural substance that contains potassium, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin C ingredients. During the manufacturing procedures, the heat sterilization method is solely used instead of other chemical processes or artificial abstraction. Therefore, it is a safe, non-toxic and effective supplement to your pet.
