HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beta Glucan 100 mg by Source Naturals
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This capsule contains 100 mg of beta-1,3/1,6-glucan, a type of soluble fiber found naturally in yeast, mushrooms, and grains. That's the one active ingredient — the rest (microcrystalline cellulose, gelatin, and silica) are inactive ingredients that make up the capsule and help it hold its shape.
Does it work?
Not established
Beta-glucans are likely effective for two heart-related conditions: dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol and fat levels in the blood) and coronary heart disease. The evidence in our data supports their use for both.
Keep in mind that 'likely effective' means the research is solid, but it's not a guarantee any one person will see results — response can vary.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Beta-glucans from food are generally well tolerated by most people. Because concentrated supplements have less safety data than whole foods, use caution and start with the recommended dose.
Topical beta-glucan creams have caused mild skin reactions and contact dermatitis in some people — usually mild and self-clearing — though oral supplements appear well tolerated. There's little research on this supplement during breastfeeding, so caution is advised; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized guidance if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you start this supplement, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure-lowering drugs or immunosuppressant medications — both are Moderate severity risks. Beta-glucans may lower blood pressure further and could interfere with immune-suppressing therapy.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Beta-glucan may be worth considering if you're managing cholesterol or heart disease and want a supplement with decent evidence behind it. If you take blood pressure medication or immunosuppressants, check with your doctor or pharmacist first — the interactions are real.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding data is thin, so that's another conversation to have with your own healthcare provider.

FDA Statement of Identity
Dietary Supplement
Formula
Purified beta-1,3/1,6-Glucan
Beta-glucan is a complex polysaccharide composed of glucose molecules extracted and purified from the cell wall of common baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Beta-glucan is used to maintain or stimulate the effectiveness of the immune system. Animal and human cell culture studies have shown that beta-glucan can stimulate several aspects of immune function, such as phagocytosis and interleukin production. Source Naturals Beta Glucan uses a purification process that removes the mannoproteins and yeast residues that may reduce the effectiveness of beta-glucan.

Beta Glucan 100 mg by Source Naturals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Beta Glucan 100 mg from Source Naturals contains one active ingredient — beta-glucans — which has documented interactions with blood pressure medications and drugs that suppress your immune system.
The most serious concern is with blood pressure-lowering drugs (antihypertensives). Beta-glucans may lower blood pressure on their own, so taking them together could push your pressure too low — a Moderate severity risk.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Beta-glucans may also interfere with immunosuppressant medications (drugs given after organ transplants or for certain autoimmune diseases). Research shows beta-glucans stimulate the immune system, which could work against what those drugs are trying to do — also a Moderate severity interaction.
Although we hold data only for beta-glucans in this product, these interactions span 293 individual medications. Use the medication checker below to see if any of your drugs are affected before you start this supplement.
