Beta glucans are types of fiber found in cells of some yeast , fungi . They are supposed to lower cholesterol and perhaps improve immunity , as well as help the body to fight cancer . Studies are still being conducted to confirm their role in disease . Good natural sources are mushrooms. They also act as a prebiotic .So their role as supplement or medicine is still being worked out .
