The brewers’ yeast used in Yestimun® is a highly natural raw material. It is grown exclusively on barley, hops, and water without any other added nutrients. A gentle processing method helps to achieve a high degree of purity in the glucan structure without the use of aggressive chemicals while keeping the beta-glucan natural structure intact.

Production
During the production process the outer layer of the yeast cell wall, the manno-oligosaccharides, must be removed carefully to present the three-dimensional matrix of the beta-glucans to the gut’s immune cells. Following gentle autolysis with the yeast’s own enzymes, high-performance centrifuges are used to separate the cell walls. This separation is conducted repeatedly to remove other substances from the surface of the yeast cell wall without use of aggressive chemicals and while keeping the beta-glucan natural structure intact.
