The potential of Β-glucan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall as anti cholesterol

Abstract

Hypercholesterolemia may cause diabetes in animals and often happens to beloved pets such as Labrador retrievers, Terrier cairns, and Beagles. Treatments for hypercholesterolemia commonly causes side effects. Β-glucan is a biologically-derived polysaccharide from sources like extracted Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a valid natural/herbal alternative in reducing cholesterol levels. The safety of Β-glucan from S. cerevisiae is clear, as it has been considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Extracted Saccharomyces cerevisiae may produce up to 85% Β-glucan. Β-glucan may be developed for treatment of hypercholesterolemia as it has no side effects.
