Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.

An enzyme that breaks down beta-glucans, a type of fiber found in grains such as oats and barley, into smaller sugar units. It is included in some digestive enzyme blends.

Why it’s used

Included in supplements to support digestion of beta-glucan-containing foods, often as part of a broader digestive enzyme complex.

What the evidence says

There is little independent clinical research on oral beta-glucanase supplementation in humans specifically for digestive symptoms. Most available evidence relates to its industrial use in food and brewing processing rather than to health outcomes from ingestion as a supplement.

Context

Digestive enzyme blends containing beta-glucanase have not been well studied in controlled human trials isolating this enzyme's specific contribution.

Insufficient dataToo little has been studied to say either way.
