Wellmune® Beta-Glucan
Wellmune®* is a unique, patented form of beta-glucan, naturally sourced from baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). While some beta-glucans, such as those in oats, are known for helping lower cholesterol, Wellmune® is specially developed for immune health.
Today, it is widely used in nutritional supplements around the world as a trusted functional ingredient.

How is it produced?
Wellmune® is created through a proprietary process that preserves the natural structure of beta-glucan particles. This ensures they remain stable during storage, are easily digested, and stay active in the body for longer.
How does it work?
Wellmune® supports children’s health in several ways:
- Immune readiness — special cells in the intestine recognise beta-glucans and signal the immune system to stay alert against challenges such as respiratory viruses.
- Gut microbiome support — certain beneficial bacteria, like Bifidobacteria, use beta-glucans as fuel, giving them a prebiotic effect.
- Digestive health — as a non-digestible fibre, beta-glucans also help maintain bowel regularity.
Together with Lactoferrin, Wellmune® forms a powerful duo to support both immunity and digestive balance in little ones.
What does the research say?
Clinical studies show that Wellmune® can help reduce common childhood illnesses:
In toddlers (1–4 years) attending daycare, Wellmune® cut respiratory symptoms and sick days by around 50%, and reduced the need for antibiotics by more than 60%【1】.
Other studies in children found fewer cases of diarrhoea, reduced allergy symptoms, and fewer days absent from school【2,3】.
Wellmune® has also been shown to work effectively when included in milk-based formulas and liquid nutrition supplements.
