While there's some debate in dermatology, I share my positive stance on hyaluronic acid, especially high molecular weight versions. I also discuss my love for cumes in skin hydration and touch on other beneficial ingredients like beta glucan.

These past few years, I have become a huge advocate for feeding fresh food to dogs to enhance their lives. However, you don't exactly have to transition your dog to a 100% fresh food diet in order to gain the benefits of fresh food.

Simply adding fresh food to your dog's kibble can go a long way in improving their nutrition and overall health. For instance, one study done a group of dogs in 2005 revealed that feeding vegetables just three times a week had significantly lowered their risk of developing cancer, compared to dogs who were only fed kibble.

Asian markets, in particular, have some very beneficial fresh food items that aren't typically found at your local grocery store. These food items, however, are not intended to fully replace your dog's food. Remember - too much of something good can be bad for you.

Instead, they should be offered in moderation as treats, or just small amounts topped over an already complete and balance meal. As a general rule of thumb, treats/toppers should never make more than 10% of your dog's overall diet.

Bok choy (Chinese cabbage) is full of essential vitamins and minerals needed to support a dog’s eyesight, cardiac function, digestion, bone strength, and immunity. Sulfurophane - a compound found in bok choy and other cruciferous vegetables - has been linked to inhibiting cancer cell growth, lowering blood pressure, and activating the nuclear factor Nrf2 which prevents the development of diabetes and its complications. Bok choy’s low calorie, high fiber content also make it a good option for a snack/food topper for dogs who need to control their weight. 

Preparation: Lightly steam or boil for better nutrient absorption. Cooking will also help neutralize the enzyme (myrosinase) that can decrease thyroid function. You should also chop/trim their long leaves to avoid choking hazards.

Goji berries (wolfberries) are rich in amino acids, carotenoids which support healthy vision, and polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and cardio-protective properties. Studies on goji berry supplementation in animals have shown that it has the potential to help lower cholesterol, protect the liver by increasing hepatic antioxidant activity, as well as enhance metabolic homeostasis and prevent diabetes-induced renal inflammation. 

Preparation: Remove stems if still attached and cut/mash berries. If dried, soak in water until softened to avoid passing straight through the GI tract and losing the benefits of its nutrients. 

Offal refers to the internal organs and variety meats of animals that can be consumed as food (i.e. lung, heart, kidney, liver, gizzard, head, feet, etc.) The word 'offal' literally translates to "fall off", and thus, whatever falls off the skeleton during the butchering process. Offal is densely loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats - so small amounts go a long way. Pet owners who use these as ingredients as part of a complete and balanced recipe should keep in mind that each organ is unique in its nutrient profile - dependent on the animal it is sourced from and how it is raised. For example, grass-fed beef may contain less fat yet more vitamin A and E than grain-fed beef, and beef liver has significantly more vitamin A and copper than chicken liver.

Preparation: Boil in water or low-sodium broth. May also be baked or dehydrated into jerky treats.

Oyster mushrooms are a good source of protein and fiber, and vitamins that support healthy digestion. They can help to increase satiety and maintain healthy body weight. Oyster mushrooms are also full of pantothenic acid which help to maintain cognitive function and healthy skin/coat. Beta-glucans derived from oyster mushrooms have also been shown to reduce inflammation and strengthen immunity. 

Preparation: Lightly sauté or boil in water or low-sodium broth. Raw or dried mushrooms can be difficult for dogs to digest. 

Purple sweet potato (Ube or Okinawan sweet potato) are typically found in grocery stores more commonly during the fall/winter seasons. They contain more antioxidants than regular sweet potatoes due to the anthocyanins that cause their violet hue. While all potato varieties may impact blood sugar levels because of their high carbohydrate content, purple potatoes may exert less of an effect because of their high polyphenol content that decreases the absorption of starches in the intestines. In addition, they have been linked to improving blood pressure, likely due to their high potassium content. 

Preparation: Peel skin and bake until soft for better digestibility and to prevent intestinal blockages. May be boiled and drained to reduce oxalate intake for dogs with a history of bladder stones, or prone to urinary issues. 

Quail eggs are small, yet packed with protein and essential fatty acids, and have a higher ratio of iron, riboflavin, and vitamin b12 than chicken eggs. It is even safe and can be beneficial to feed them with the shells included for added calcium. Quail eggs have been linked to improving bone growth/healing, reducing liver damage, and increasing energy levels. While some studies have shown evidence of quail eggs treating allergies in humans and mice, they may be less likely to trigger reactions than chicken eggs in dogs who have poultry sensitivities.

Preparation: Wash thoroughly, and handle gently as they are more fragile due to their tiny size. Cooking methods are similar to that of chicken eggs, yet require less time. 

Sardines contain all the amino acids your dog needs for optimal health, making it a "complete protein". They are also notorious for being rich in omegas and coenzyme q-10, which help support heart and brain health. What sets sardines apart from other fish, too, is that they are smaller and more short-lived species than larger predator fish and may have less of a risk for mercury poisoning. Because they are so small and have soft bones, you can feed them whole to your pets.

Preparation: Bake or dehydrate. If already purchased as dried, be sure to make sure there is no added salt or seasonings. If canned, preferably those stored in water only.

Sushi rice (Japanese sticky rice) has a high proportion of starch and moisture, giving it a stickier texture when cooked. Sushi rice has virtually zero fat, yet still provides a desirable balance of nutrients while remaining gentle on a dog’s digestive tract. Its higher iron content than regular rice supports healthy blood circulation and can provide more energy to dogs who are recovering from illness. Cooling/refrigerating the rice before serving also enables more retrogradation of prebiotic fiber, helping to lower glycemic responses and maximize intestinal function.

Preparation: Rinse thoroughly and soak in water (with 1tbsp apple cider vinegar - optional) before cooking. If you don’t have a rice cooker or instant pot, boil on the stove until the water is completely absorbed. May be cooked with bone broth for added flavor. You can also use small amounts of beet root powder, turmeric, or blue spirulina to add color and nutrients.

The mask is made with 100% cotton and is designed to be "featherlight" and adhere to the contours of your face for optimal absorption. There's lots of essence and the mask is saturated. After using, it's important to point out, this mask does have artificial and natural fragrances. And in fact, the only irritant in the ingredients is fragrance. Due to the level of betaine, I found this mask to be very moisturizing and nourishing, it was also quite refreshing and the quality is very nice. Slightly nicer than their Real Squeeze mask series. The fragrance is in my opinion pretty standard so I feel that if you have used a mask with that scent without issue then using something similar won't be a problem. I didn't notice any irritation or discomfort, I thought the mask was comfortable. I'd recommend this to anyone with dry skin and to people with aging skin.

What I like: this mask is really moisturizing and really nourishing, it really does a good job of taking care of my skin without irritation. I think it's suitable for people with dry skin and aging skin. There are many good ingredients and few irritants. What I don't like: fragrance.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Hydrating

Nourishing

Refreshing

Nice ingredient list

Comfortable

Cons:

Fragrance

Would I buy again?

Yes

Beta - Glucan for Anti-Aging: How It Reduces Wrinkles and Fine Lines - Beauty Triangle

Age is nothing but a number, isn't it? Nevertheless, whether we like it or not, everybody wants to appear as good as they ever have been. Beta-glucan, a skincare superhero that has been behind the scenes doing its work the whole time. Naturally, it can be found in oats, yeast, and special mushrooms – a sort of "fountain of youth" for skin.

If you are fed up with those annoying wrinkles and fine lines, Beta-glucan will come to the rescue! Think of this as a tiny, efficient water drinking mechanism, that plums up your skin and smooths out wrinkles. However, how does it do that? Let's dive in!

Let's learn how beta-glucan can change your skincare ritual and help you show off your skin's youthfulness.

What is Beta-glucan?

Beta-glucan is a skincare superstar that has been gaining the limelight quietly. This mighty ingredient is a game-changer for aging skin, and it is developed from natural sources such as oats, yeast and certain mushrooms.

Picture beta-glucan as a hydrating superhero and a wrinkle fighter at the same time — it is indeed powerful. It acts as a magnet that draws moisture into your skin, plumping fine lines, in other words, the wrinkles. Moreover, it is master in stopping skin redness and shielding your skin from environmental harm.

1. How Beta-Glucan Smooths the Way to Younger-Looking Skin

Beta-glucan is not just a fancy skincare ingredient, It is a moisture hero with significant anti-aging potential as well.

Deep Hydration: The Key to Plump Skin

Think about your skin as a thirsty sponge. Beta-glucan acts like a supercapacitor, drawing moisture from the surroundings and locking it into your skin layers.

A Stronger Skin Barrier: The Ultimate Defence

Your skin's barrier is like a security wall that protects you from environmental hostile forces, as well as keeps the moisture inside. Beta-glucan helps to enhance the shield and thus, the water loss is prevented, and your skin appears pliable and elastic. A strong barrier is a key benefit to your skin because it is a better defender against the aging process.

The combination of deep hydration from beta-glucan and a strengthened skin barrier leads to a noticeable reduction in wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a softer, smoother, and more youthful complexion. 

Collagen Champion

Beta-glucan is not only a great moisturiser but also a collagen-building champion! This amazing ingredient helps activate the collagen production, the key element responsible for your skin's elasticity and firmness. 

Collagen provides structure and support to your skin. With time and age, collagen production slows down, leading to wrinkles and skin sagging. Beta-glucan encourages your skin to produce that extra collagen, resulting in a plumper, firmer, and more youthful complexion. 

It's like giving your skin a natural lift without the needles!

Fighting Inflammation and Free Radicals

Beta-glucan is powerful when it comes to fighting inflammation and free radicals.

The Skin Enemy: Inflammation

Inflammation is among the problems that cause skin to age quickly, along with symptoms like redness, puffiness, and dullness. In the case of beta-glucan, the inflammation-relieving feature works as a cool band-aid that cures the problem of redness. 

Neutralising Free Radicals

Free radicals are negative ions and because of their high reactivity they destroy the skin layer, leading to the early appearance of fine lines. Beta-glucan acts as a barrier that uncovers your skin, keeping it safe from those harmful intruders. 

Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make beta-glucan a versatile ingredient.

Your Skin's Ultimate Protector

Beta-glucan is not just about anti-ageing, but it gives your skin the best protection.

Skin Repair Squad:

The secret agent beta-glucan, aka "Agent B" intervenes when your skin gets lacerations, eczema, or the scars left by acne, speeding up the repair procedure. It restores damaged skin cells, which in turn are the causes of scarring and acne.

Shield Your Skin:

Your skin is in constant fight with the environmental pollution, UV rays, and other toxic elements. Beta-glucan serves as a protective barrier, helping the skin to combat harmful particles effectively. This helps slow the ageing process, allowing your skin to shine at its best. Beta-glucan acts as a potent anti-ageing agent. 

In fact, beta-glucan not only makes you appear youthful, but it also defends your skin from future impairment. It's like having a 2-in-1 skincare superhero!

Finally, now we know

Beta-glucan is more than just a skincare ingredient—it's a powerful ally in your fight against ageing, inflammation, and environmental stress. Its ability to protect, heal, and rejuvenate the skin makes it an essential component of any effective skincare routine. This extraordinary ingredient help you achieve a younger, healthier complexion with the least effort.  By incorporating beta-glucan into your daily regimen, you’re not only defending your skin against future damage but also embracing a healthier, more radiant complexion.  Looking for a Beta-Glucan superhero for your skin care routine, try LYCON skin’s Beta-Glucan Serum

The global oats market is experiencing a notable surge as consumers worldwide increasingly embrace healthier lifestyles, seek plant-based options, and prioritize sustainable, whole foods. Oats are no longer confined to breakfast cereals; they are now a key ingredient in snacks, beverages, and even beauty products. This article will explore the key drivers, trends, and growth opportunities within the oats market.

Browse the full report https://www.credenceresearch.com/report/oats-market

Market Overview

Oats are cultivated in various regions, including North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. While traditionally grown in colder climates, advancements in agricultural practices have allowed for wider cultivation, supporting global demand. In 2023, the global oats market was valued at approximately $5.8 billion, with projections estimating it will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% over the next five years. This growth is largely fueled by the rising awareness of oats' health benefits and their versatility in various foods and beverages.

Key Drivers of the Oats Market

1. Health and Wellness Trends As consumers become more health-conscious, the demand for nutrient-dense, whole grains has surged. Oats are rich in dietary fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which has been linked to lowering cholesterol levels and promoting heart health. Oats also provide essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a popular choice for those looking to boost their overall well-being. With the rise of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, many consumers are seeking foods like oats that can support preventive health.

2. Plant-Based and Vegan Lifestyles The growth of plant-based diets has significantly benefited the oats market. Many people now seek alternatives to animal-based proteins, leading to a rise in oat-based products like oat milk, yogurt, and protein bars. Oat milk, in particular, has gained popularity as a dairy substitute, thanks to its creamy texture and neutral taste. This trend is especially strong in North America and Europe, where oat milk has become a staple in cafes and households alike.

3. Rising Demand for Gluten-Free Products Although oats themselves are gluten-free, they are often processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing grains. However, gluten-free oats, which are processed in separate facilities, have grown in demand, catering to individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities. The availability of gluten-free oats has opened the market to a broader consumer base, further propelling growth.

4. Convenience and Versatility Oats' adaptability across a wide range of applications has driven their demand in various food and beverage segments. Instant oats, oat-based snacks, and ready-to-drink oat beverages offer convenient options for busy consumers who prioritize health but are short on time. Additionally, oats' neutral flavor profile makes them suitable for savory and sweet dishes, enhancing their appeal.

Key Market Trends

1. Oat-Based Beverages and Dairy Alternatives Oat milk’s popularity continues to soar, outpacing other plant-based dairy alternatives like almond and soy milk in some markets. In 2023, oat milk accounted for over 20% of the plant-based milk market in the United States, and similar growth is seen globally. This growth is driven by consumers’ perception of oat milk as a healthier and more sustainable option.

2. Sustainability Initiatives Environmental sustainability is increasingly influencing consumer choices. Compared to other grains and animal-based products, oats have a lower environmental footprint. This has led many brands to highlight the sustainable aspects of oats, positioning them as an eco-friendly option. Furthermore, companies are investing in organic and non-GMO oat products, which appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.

3. Innovative Oat-Based Products The market has seen a surge in innovation as manufacturers introduce oat-based snacks, protein bars, ice creams, and even skincare products. Oats are rich in antioxidants and have soothing properties, making them a popular ingredient in cosmetics. Oat flour and protein powder are also increasingly popular, creating more product options for consumers seeking healthy, plant-based choices.

Challenges Facing the Oats Market

Despite the strong demand, the oats market faces some challenges. Climate change and extreme weather can impact oat production, potentially leading to supply constraints. Additionally, rising competition from other superfoods and grains, like quinoa and chia seeds, means that oats manufacturers must continuously innovate to retain market share.

Supply chain disruptions, such as those seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, can also impact oats' availability and price, affecting the market’s growth trajectory. Finally, while the gluten-free market supports growth, gluten-free oats often come at a premium, which can be a barrier for price-sensitive consumers.

Future Outlook and Opportunities

Looking ahead, the global oats market is expected to thrive as health-conscious consumers and the plant-based movement continue to expand. North America and Europe remain the largest markets, but emerging markets in Asia-Pacific and Latin America offer significant growth potential. As more consumers adopt Western-style diets and become aware of the benefits of oats, these regions are likely to drive demand in the coming years.

Upcoming Growth Trends in the Beta-Glucan Market

The beta-glucan market size is valued at USD 542 million in 2024, with projections suggesting a growth rate of 8.1% CAGR to reach USD 800 million by 2029. The demand for nutritional supplements is rising as urbanization and fast-paced lifestyles increase, leading to the integration of food additives that enhance nutritional value without adverse effects. This demand spans both conventional and organic food sectors, with consumers increasingly prioritizing natural ingredients. A 2022 report by BakeryandSnacks found that approximately 47% of global consumers prefer natural products, and 55% prioritize natural attributes in at least one product category. This shift, coupled with EU restrictions on synthetic additives, has spurred growth in the natural food additives market. Derived from sources like cereals, yeast, mushrooms, and seaweed, beta-glucan is a naturally occurring Biological Response Modifier (BRM) that stimulates immune health, driving demand for beta-glucan-enriched products to support a healthy lifestyle.

Beta-Glucan Market Drivers: Expanding Applications for Beta-Glucan in Multiple Industries

Beta-glucan is widely recognized for its health benefits, such as immune enhancement, anti-inflammatory effects, and cholesterol reduction. Beyond food and supplements, beta-glucan's applications are expanding across industries. It is now explored as an eco-friendly alternative in food packaging, potentially replacing petroleum-based plastics. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Applied Polymer Science highlighted the durability of beta-glucan-based films, suggesting they could serve as edible coatings to preserve produce. Additionally, the European Commission's Joint Research Centre has researched beta-glucan as a coating for paper-based packaging to improve water resistance. Following this innovation, Biopack launched a beta-glucan-based coating in 2021, enhancing paper packaging’s water resistance and durability while supporting sustainability.

Food & Beverage Segment Leads Market Applications

Beta-glucan consumption has been linked to reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers. The US FDA has validated health claims stating that “soluble fiber from specific foods, such as oats and barley, when included in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, can reduce heart disease risk.” Reflecting this trend, Swedish oat milk brand Oatly launched a beta-glucan-fortified line, “Oatly+ Beta-Glucan,” in 2021, promoting heart health benefits. As such, demand for beta-glucan in the food and beverage sector is driven by its potential in chronic illness prevention and wellness.

Dietary Supplement Segment Poised for Rapid Growth

Yeast plays an essential role in industrial fermentation, producing products like bread, beer, and biofuels, with optimized yeast strains enhancing beta-glucan production for large-scale applications. Australian health brand Swisse Wellness introduced Beta-Immune Booster, a supplement with beta-glucan from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in 2021 to support immune health, attracting positive consumer response. This trend signals a robust future for beta-glucan supplements as consumers increasingly seek natural, potent dietary options.

Asia Pacific Expected to See Fastest Growth from 2024 to 2029

Regional analysis shows significant market expansion across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and other regions. The Asia Pacific market, in particular, is driven by innovations in beta-glucan-based food, beverage, industrial, and healthcare products, encouraging local companies to diversify and grow revenue. Key players in the market include Tate & Lyle PLC (UK), Kerry Group plc (Ireland), dsm-firmenich (Switzerland), Merck (Germany), and Kemin Industries (US), among others.

Top Beta-Glucan Companies:

Tate & Lyle PLC (UK), Kerry Group plc (Ireland), dsm-Firmenich (Switzerland), Merck (Germany), Lesaffre (France), Kemin Industries (US), Angel Yeast Co. Ltd (China), Lallemand (Canada), Associated British Foods Plc (UK), Bigrigin (Brazil), Ceapro, Inc. (Canada), NutriScience Innovations, LLC (US), Alltech (US), Garuda International Inc. (US), and Leiber (Germany) are the key players in the beta-glucan market.

Recent Developments in the Beta-Glucan Industry

Mushroom Tikka Masala: A Flavorful and Nutritious Delight

Introduction

Mushroom Tikka Masala is a delicious vegetarian twist on the popular tikka masala dish, traditionally made with chicken or paneer. It combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms with a rich, creamy, and spiced tomato gravy, making it a perfect meal for both vegetarians and mushroom lovers. Here’s a deep dive into the nutritional benefits of mushrooms and a detailed recipe to make this flavorful dish at home.

Nutritional Benefits of Mushrooms

Mushrooms are not only versatile and tasty but also packed with essential nutrients that contribute to overall health. Here are some of the key benefits of adding mushrooms to your diet:

Low in Calories: Mushrooms are low in calories, making them a great option for those watching their calorie intake.

Rich in Antioxidants: Mushrooms, especially varieties like white button mushrooms, contain antioxidants like selenium, which help protect cells from damage and support the immune system.

Good Source of Vitamin D: They are one of the few plant-based sources of vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health and immune function.

Boosts Immune System: Mushrooms contain beta-glucans, a type of soluble fiber that can enhance immune system function.

High in Protein: Though not as protein-dense as legumes, mushrooms provide a good amount of plant-based protein, especially useful in vegetarian or vegan diets.

Supports Heart Health: Mushrooms contain potassium and fiber, both of which are beneficial for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels and supporting cardiovascular health.

Mushroom Tikka Masala Recipe

Ingredients:

For the marinade:

200g mushrooms (button or baby bella)

3 tbsp yogurt (use plant-based yogurt for a vegan version)

1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

1 tsp red chili powder

½ tsp turmeric powder

½ tsp garam masala

½ tsp cumin powder

1 tbsp lemon juice

Salt to taste

For the gravy:

2 tbsp oil or butter (use vegan butter if needed)

1 large onion, finely chopped

1 tsp ginger-garlic paste

2 large tomatoes, pureed

1 tsp red chili powder

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 tsp coriander powder

½ tsp cumin powder

1 tsp garam masala

¼ cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)

Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Salt to taste

Instructions:

Marinate the Mushrooms:

In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, chili powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin powder, lemon juice, and salt.

Add the mushrooms and coat them well in the marinade. Let them rest for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Grill or Pan-fry the Mushrooms:

After marination, either skewer the mushrooms and grill them on a high flame until slightly charred, or pan-fry them in a non-stick pan with a bit of oil until golden brown. Set aside.

Prepare the Gravy:

In a pan, heat oil or butter. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Add ginger-garlic paste and cook until the raw smell disappears.

Pour in the tomato puree and cook until the oil starts separating from the mixture.

Add the spice powders — red chili, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and garam masala. Cook the mixture for a few minutes until aromatic.

Stir in the cream and let the gravy simmer for a few minutes. Add salt to taste.

Combine and Serve:

Add the grilled or fried mushrooms to the gravy and let them simmer for 5–10 minutes so they absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

Serve hot with naan, roti, or basmati rice.
