Arabinex - 3.5oz- Thorne Research

Thorne’s Arabinex® consists of larch arabinogalactans, polysaccharides that are derived from Larix occidentalis, the Western larch tree. This mild-tasting, highly soluble powder mixes easily with water or juice, so it’s an ideal supplement for both adults and children. Larch arabinogalactans possess important immune-enhancing properties and are an excellent source of fiber.* As a prebiotic, Arabinex can increase beneficial bacteria in the colon to support intestinal health.* Its use can also increase short-chain fatty acids – mainly butyric acid – the primary fuel for the colonocytes – the cells of the large intestine.* Butyric acid is produced in the colon by the fermentation of fiber, such as the fiber provided by arabinogalactans.* High levels of butyrate in the colon help provide a healthy colonic environment.*
