NEIVA® - Beta-glucan for immune support

Ohly’s new NEIVA® range takes yeast beta-glucan and blends it with other functional ingredients to provide formulators with tailored solutions for functional food, sports nutrition and dietary supplements which support immune health and overall well-being.

Ohly has consistently produced their own premium yeast beta-glucans for many years, making them a trusted source of reliable, quality products.

What is yeast beta-glucan?

Yeast beta-glucans are polysaccharides found in the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, commonly known as baker’s yeast. These compounds consist of glucose molecules linked together in a specific branched structure. This unique molecular structure plays a crucial role in their functionality and biological activity.  

1. Immune System Modulation

Yeast beta-glucans are known for their profound impact on immune function. They stimulate various parts of the immune system, enhancing the body’s ability to defend against pathogens and infections. When interacting with specific receptors on immune cells, such as Dectin-1, they trigger a sequence of events that produces immune mediators and activates immune responses.1

2. Cardiovascular Health Support

Yeast beta-glucans may contribute to cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol levels. Additionally, they offer potential benefits in managing blood sugar levels and supporting digestive function.2

3. Antioxidant Properties

The antioxidant properties of yeast beta-glucans can help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation in the body, contributing to overall well-being.3

In summary, yeast beta-glucans are multifaceted bioactive compounds with significant benefits for immune function, cardiovascular health, and overall wellness.
