Of "beta-glucan", a functional polysaccharide now attracting an attention as a substance to upgrade immune functions essential for health maintenance and enhancement, we have succeeded in commercializing two types of products: "Barley beta-glucan" an extract from natural barley and "Fermented beta-glucan" derived from microorganism fermentation.

"Barley beta-glucan" is a low-molecular-weight beta-glucan that is easy to demonstrate the function, and "Fermented beta-glucan" is excellent in water-solubility, and is clear, colorless, tasteless and odorless. Both products are best suited for food products and cosmetics. Their combination can also bring out synergetic effects.
