Mechanism of Action
The beta-glucans present in mushrooms are believed to be responsible for the immunomodulatory and digestive health effects. SCFAs, and in particular, the generation of butyrate has been implicated as a primary mechanism for both immune and digestive support, by increasing gut barrier function, as well as its signaling properties. TriCelium™ contains beta-glucans.
