HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Beta Glucans 1,3/1,6 500 mg by NusaPure
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 product contains one active ingredient: beta-glucan (specifically beta-1,3/1,6-D-glucan powder), 500 mg per capsule. Beta-glucan is a type of fiber found naturally in foods like oats, barley, and mushrooms; here it's provided as a concentrated extract.
The capsule also contains inactive ingredients — cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate, and rice flour — which are fillers and binders used to form and stabilize the supplement.
Does it work?
Strong evidence
Beta-glucans are rated Likely Effective for both dyslipidemia (abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels) and coronary heart disease. That means clinical evidence supports their use for these purposes, though more research may still be ongoing.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Beta-glucans from food sources are generally well tolerated. Concentrated supplements like this one lack long-term safety data, so caution is warranted.
When taken orally, beta-glucans appear to be well tolerated overall. One rare instance in a clinical trial saw transient (temporary) elevations in liver enzymes in one person out of 44 receiving a very high dose — reactions that resolved on their own.
There isn't enough data on concentrated supplement doses during breastfeeding to know either way. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your blood pressure medications and any immunosuppressive drugs (used for conditions like autoimmune disease or after organ transplant) with your pharmacist before adding this supplement. Beta-glucans may lower blood pressure and could theoretically interfere with drugs meant to suppress your immune system.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
If you have high cholesterol or coronary heart disease and want to try a well-tolerated supplement, beta-glucans have evidence behind them. But if you take blood pressure medication or immunosuppressants, you'll want to check with your own doctor or pharmacist first — these interactions are real and worth discussing before you start.

Beta Glucans 1,3/1,6 500 mg by NusaPure Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
NusaPure Beta Glucans 1,3/1,6 500 mg contains beta-glucan, which interacts with two main medication categories.
The most serious concern is with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives). Beta-glucans may lower your blood pressure on their own, so taking them alongside drugs meant to do the same could increase the risk of blood pressure dropping too far.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The second Moderate interaction is with immunosuppressants — drugs that dampen your immune system. Beta-glucans appear to stimulate immune activity, which could theoretically work against what these medications are trying to accomplish.
Altogether, these interactions span 293 individual medications. Before you start this supplement, run your exact blood pressure and immunosuppressive drugs through the interaction checker below.
