Soluble fibre from oats or yeast that supports immune function and cholesterol

We rank Beta-Glucan by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Beta-Glucan is a type of soluble fibre, which is a carbohydrate that dissolves in water. It is found naturally in the cell walls of certain foods and organisms, most commonly in oats and yeast.

Why it's used

It is primarily used to support the immune system and manage heart health. Specifically, it helps the body maintain a healthy immune function and can help lower cholesterol levels in the blood.

How it's made

To create the supplement, manufacturers extract the fibre from the raw source, such as oats or yeast. This material is then purified to remove unwanted components and processed into a concentrated powder. This powder is then packed into capsules or mixed into other supplement formulas.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally affordable. This is because the raw materials, particularly oats, are grown in huge quantities globally and the extraction process is straightforward and common.
