Basic Information:
Arabinogalactan is a water-soluble, prebiotic and immune-boosting fermentable fiber obtained through a patented extraction method that is solvent-free. It is composed of arabinogalactans, which are highly branched polysaccharides composed of galactose units and arabinose units in a ratio of approximately 6:1
Arabinogalactan is a polysaccharide, a type of carbohydrate, found in many plants but most notably in the wood of larch trees (Larix species). It is composed of arabinose and galactose sugars and has various biological activities. Arabinogalactan is often used as a dietary supplement due to its potential immune-boosting properties and prebiotic effects on gut health. It’s also utilized in the food industry as a stabilizer and thickening agent, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry for its medicinal properties. Arabinogalactan is believed to stimulate the immune system by increasing the activity of certain immune cells, such as macrophages and natural killer cells. This may help the body defend against infections and illnesses. By supporting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, arabinogalactan may help alleviate digestive issues such as constipation, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Arabinogalactan possesses antioxidant properties, which means it can help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body.
