Core Tip: Yeast beta-glucan increases the body’s ability to fight pathogens, and showed a 25% better record of cold-fighting in a new German study.
Using 162 healthy patients split into control and study groups, the study noted efficacy was rated better than placebo by both participants and physicians.
The study, published in European Journal of Nutrition, was funded by German firm Leiber which has a European Union health claim for the ingredient in process at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
