Mannan oligosaccharide is a functional oligosaccharide extracted and refined from konjac rhizomes using advanced biotechnology. It is also a high-quality prebiotic. It can not only proliferate beneficial bacteria in the intestines, inhibit the reproduction of harmful bacteria, and regulate the microbalance of intestinal flora; it can also help remove putrefactive and toxic substances in the intestines, promote the absorption of nutrients, and detoxify the body. As a food raw material, mannan oligosaccharides have injected new power into the research and development of health food. It is also known as the new generation of high value-added functional food and the leader of 21st century food.

The first step for pathogenic bacteria to invade the human body is to adhere to the surface of intestinal epithelial cells through a special substance called mannose "lectin" in the body. Mannan oligosaccharides can specifically and preferentially bind to the lectins of pathogenic bacteria, forming a more unbreakable "binding relationship." It prevents pathogenic bacteria from adhering to the surface of intestinal epithelial cells and fundamentally blocks the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. At the same time, mannan oligosaccharides are not digested and absorbed by the small intestine, and pathogenic bacteria have to be excreted together with them. Therefore, this feature of mannan oligosaccharides is not found in other functional oligosaccharides.

Relieve gastrointestinal inflammation.

Mannan oligosaccharides stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacterium, enhance their activity, and regulate the balance of human intestinal microecology. Short-chain fatty acids such as butyric acid are produced after fermentation, acidify the colon environment, and inhibit the growth of putrefactive bacteria such as Bacteroidetes; It can prevent aerobic enterobacteria from invading and colonizing the intestinal mucosa and causing inflammatory reactions, thereby improving intestinal inflammation and intestinal mucosal damage and returning the intestine to normal condition. Through experimental research, it was found that mannan oligosaccharides can significantly improve ulcers caused by inflammatory bowel disease.

Improve constipation.

In the gastrointestinal tract, mannan oligosaccharide absorbs water and expands 30-150 times in volume, increasing the wet weight and water content of stool. At the same time, it forms a viscous substance with water, which binds and softens food residues in the intestines, promotes intestinal peristalsis, and allows stool to be passed out of the body more smoothly. Studies have found that consuming mannan oligosaccharide can significantly shorten the time to first defecation and increase defecation volume.

Helps reduce high blood pressure.

Scientists have found that intestinal probiotics can help lower blood pressure; while the massive reproduction of harmful bacteria will produce harmful substances that can cause vasoconstriction and increase blood pressure. It can be seen that regulating the balance of intestinal flora can open up new ideas for the treatment of hypertension. Moreover, foreign scientists have confirmed that mannan oligosaccharide has the effect of inhibiting the increase of hypertension.

Lower blood sugar.

Research shows that probiotics can not only control the absorption of sugar and prevent it from entering the blood circulation and increase blood sugar; they can also accelerate the metabolism of sugar and regulate it in both directions, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering blood sugar. Mannan oligosaccharides are responsible for the large-scale proliferation of intestinal beneficial bacteria, and can directly supplement 109 kinds of high-quality probiotics, providing benefits for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Research has confirmed that consuming polymannose can significantly reduce fasting blood sugar levels.

Increase immune function.

Immune function refers to the body’s resistance to disease. When the body's immune function declines, symptoms such as fatigue, listlessness, decreased appetite, and sleep disorders may occur. Sickness and injections become commonplace.

Research has found that mannan oligosaccharides can improve the body's immune function. When pathogenic microorganisms invade the intestine, the mannose groups in the oligomannose molecules adhere tightly to the lectin on the cell surface, forming a "strong" complex that inhibits the proliferation and inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms, thereby enhancing the immune function of the human body..

Mannan oligosaccharides are becoming more and more popular.

1. Quick onset of effect. After reaching the large intestine, mannan oligosaccharides cause intestinal beneficial bacteria to rapidly multiply 50-100 times. Experts believe that mannan oligosaccharides are high-quality prebiotics and the leader among functional oligosaccharides.

2. Zero loss. It is not broken down and absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract until it reaches the large intestine, improving the balance of intestinal flora. It does not produce heat and does not raise blood sugar. It can be consumed by obese people and people with diabetes.

3. Very safe. The raw material is konjac powder, which is pure natural, safe and effective.
