Gut health is a trending topic in the human health industry, but it’s a field that Kemin has been studying for decades. Supported by clinical studies showcasing dual benefits for immune and gastrointestinal (GI) health, BetaVia™ serves as a postbiotic. It aids in maintaining a robust immune system and a healthy respiratory tract while promoting digestive health. Additionally, BetaVia offers potential protection against oxidative stress, further enhancing its role in overall health support.
Proven Immunity-Boosting Results
In a 90-day double-blind, placebo-controlled study3, BetaVia demonstrated effectiveness in reducing the likelihood and severity of upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) symptoms, yielding significant results compared to the placebo group. Participants experienced 70% fewer URTI symptoms, with a 3.3-day decrease in sick days and 10 fewer days with URTI symptoms during the trial period.
Product Spotlight
BetaVia™ is an algae-based beta glucan ingredient designed to support both immune and gut health. Sourced from Euglena gracilis algae, it offers a dual-action approach by priming immune cells and promoting a healthy gut microbiome. Available in two high-purity forms, BetaVia is clinically shown to reduce the severity and duration of upper respiratory symptoms while enhancing gastrointestinal comfort. With its clean-label profile and science-backed benefits, BetaVia is a versatile solution for functional foods, beverages, and supplements targeting holistic wellness.
