POLYCAN

POLYCAN™ - A Patented Next-Generation Fermented Postbiotic

POLYCAN™, Glukan's flagship ingredient, is a water-soluble beta-glucan (β-1,3/1,6-Glucan) material developed through the fermentation of a patented black yeast strain, Aureobasidium pullulans SM-2001. As a next-generation fermented postbiotic rich in beneficial microbial metabolites, POLYCAN™ has demonstrated a broad range of functional benefits and mechanisms of action through extensive research, spanning gut health and immune modulation to muscle, joint, and bone health. These findings gave rise to a new scientific concept, the Gut-Mobility Axis, through which POLYCAN™ shows that healthy movement begins with gut health.

Built on this foundation of gut health, POLYCAN™ supports overall physical activity and musculoskeletal health, with more than 40 published research papers and 7 human clinical trials scientifically confirming its effects on improved grip strength (muscle function), reduced markers of muscle damage, and enhanced musculoskeletal function. POLYCAN™ has also earned strong trust in global markets through its FDA GRAS status and HALAL certification, cementing its position as a core functional ingredient worldwide.
