NCT ID NCT07104929
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a daily beta glucan supplement, taken for 12 weeks, could improve markers of biological and immune age in 60 healthy adults aged 40 and older. Participants took two capsules of Beta Glucan 500 each day. Researchers measured changes in epigenetic markers linked to aging. The goal was to see if this simple supplement might help slow the aging process.
