Committed to the Best Industry Practices
Company Description
Founded in 1994, Super Beta Glucan (SBG) Inc. is a U.S. biotechnology company that manufactures mushroom beta glucan, the key constituent in medicinal mushrooms that mobilize components of the immune system through a scientific mode of action to keep the body healthy and vibrant. With the most stringent quality control and state-of-the-art equipment, SBG employs proprietary and patented technologies to ensure the purity and quality of its mushroom beta glucan, providing solutions to its customers worldwide to incorporate the health benefits of mushrooms to functional food and beverages, nutraceuticals, personal care and animal nutrition products.
Core & New Products
Immulink MBG® is the first mushroom beta glucan to receive U.S. FDA GRAS status. Immulink MBG mobilizes the body’s frontline defense to support a healthy and robust immune response without over-stimulating it. Aside from FDA’s stamp of approval, what really distinguished the Immulink MBG from pulverized mushroom powders and conventional mushroom extracts is the proprietary solvent-free extraction and purification process, capable of removing all the impurities. As the premiere beta glucan ingredient, Immulink MBG has a number of technical properties that makes it easy to incorporate in functional foods in standalone form or combined with other formulations to increase functionality. Immulink MBG is pH- and temperature-stable, naturally water soluble, kosher, halal, non-allergenic, GMO-and, gluten-free, and 100 percent made in the U.S.A.
During the fourth quarter of 2013, SBG is expected to launch its latest innovation: the Antrodia Mushroom Beta Glucan. This innovative nutraceutical ingredient, extracted from a novel medicinal mushroom named “Antrodia cinnamomea,” is committed to provide a safe and effective solution with unparalleled value to its customers worldwide.
Quality Assurance
To ensure the highest quality and safety of its products, the stringent quality control process adopted by SBG’s cGMP compliant manufacturing plant monitors every mushroom culture that has been cultivated in its California-based facilities, followed by the standardized extraction and purification, while the entire process is carefully monitored and documented. Then, the finished product is analyzed before it ships to customers. Some regions and countries have strict requirements for shipping food ingredients, and this is why SBG has developed a global excellence program to ensure the uniformed quality and safety of our products that are shipped to different regions around the world. Researched to be safe, Immulink MBG holds a U.S. FDA-notified GRAS designation and Chinese FDA-approved health food registration, providing manufacturers the opportunity to meet consumer demand for safe and effective products around the global market.
R&D Efforts/Clinical Substantiation
Having made substantial expenditures and with more than 20 years of research and collaborations with leading biomedical institutions around the world, SBG maintains an extensive intellectual property portfolio with patents, patents pending and trademark protection for technologies all over the world. With a full-time research staff stationed in its research and development center in San Diego, CA, SBG is constantly developing innovative technologies and products that pioneer today’s functional food and beverages, nutraceuticals, personal care and animal health markets.
SBG is committed to the best industry practice of remaining faithful to science; it follows the evidence that indicates the immune health benefits available from medicinal mushrooms. The company continues to engage in the practice of ongoing research by conducting clinical trials to investigate the quality-of-life impact of its product, with positive results backing the efficacy of its products.
Recent clinical study results indicate that Immulink MBG has the ability to balance the essential pathways of the immune system, thereby providing prominent seasonal support to maintain a healthy immune response as needed.
