Melatonin supplementation is recommended; however, its effectiveness varies. β‐Glucans have previously been shown to improve melatonin levels in animal studies. Herein, we examined the effectiveness of Aureobasidium pullulans (Nichi Glucan), a species of black yeast that contains beta‐1,3/1,6‐glucan, in a pilot study of children with ASD.
