LYNSIDE® WALL (YEAST-DERIVED ß-GLUCAN (1.3-1.6)) IS A POWERFUL IMMUNE SYSTEM STIMULATOR

As winter approaches, our bodies become more vulnerable to attack by countless invisible microorganisms. Solid scientific evidence shows that several nutrients, including ß-glucans derived from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) can help strengthen the immune system, which is put to the test when attacked by the viruses responsible for colds, flus and other winter afflictions.
This is especially important given that our immune systems weaken over time, leaving our bodies more vulnerable to viruses and bacteria.

Lesaffre Human Care has developed two extracts rich in yeast-derived ß-(1.3-1.6)-glucans: Lynside® Wall Basic and Lynside® Wall Glucans, with 25% and 50% concentrations, respectively. The ingredients are not novel foods and an Article 13 health claim dossier has been filed with the EFSA regarding 400mg of ß-glucan derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Researchers have shown that yeast-derived ß-(1.3-1.6)-glucans are effective non-specific immune system stimulants, particularly by stimulating the proliferation of macrophages, as well as phagocyte activity and their ability to synthesize cytokine (Zekovic DB et al).

A world leader in its market, Lesaffre has been the reference in yeast and breadmaking for over 150 years. Through its subsidiary Bio Springer, Lesaffre is also the world leader in yeast extracts and yeast cell walls prepared in various degrees of purity. Lesaffre Human Care utilizes the Lesaffre Group’s production system, which is widely renowned for its reliability and quality.
