Boosting the immune system with baker's yeast β-glucan may help athletes stay well after intense exercise
Boosting the immune system with baker's yeast beta glucan, a natural food, beverage and supplement ingredient, may help athletes stay well after intense exercise, according to findings published in the current issue of the Journal of Dietary Supplements.
Lost practice days and reductions in performance have been the norm for athletes until now since intense exercise temporarily suppresses the immune system. β-glucan may help athletes stay healthy after intense workouts and competitions, enabling them to train harder and longer.
Two specific studies
The paper focuses on results from two clinical studies conducted with ImmiFlex/Wellmune WGP®, a beta 1,3/1,6 glucan from a proprietary strain of baker's yeast. Researchers found that Wellmune made a statistically significant reduction in the incidence of post-competition upper respiratory tract infection symptom days and also boosted mucosal immunity, the first line of defense against respiratory challenges.
