Mannuronic Oligosaccharide

Alginate oligosaccharide (M Rich), produced by the degradation of algin, is a linear polysaccharide consisting of β-D-Mannuronate (M) and α-L-Guluronate (G) and whose content of M block is more than 80%. 

Product Code：RADOM

English Name: Alginate oligosaccharide (M Block) , Oligomannuronate, Sodium oligo-mannuronate, Mannuronic oligosaccharides.

Structural Formula:

Features:

1. Natural & Non-toxic

2. Low Dosage

3. Special Functions

1. Prevent Alzheimer's disease, improve the memory level of the elderly

Aβ（β--amyloid protein) is the main component of senile plaques in cerebral cortex and an important substance causing Alzheimer's disease. Alginate oligosaccharides can interact with Aβ, thus antagonizing toxicity of Aβ and playing an auxiliary role in preventing and treating Alzheimer's disease. At the same time, alginate oligosaccharides can greatly increase (230%) the activity of choline acetylase in cerebral cortex, promote Acetylcholine synthesis, greatly increase the content of Acetylcholine in brain, and prevent and treat memory deterioration. Therefore, alginate oligosaccharides can effectively prevent senile dementia.

(Referring international patent WO 2005/089776 A1 & national invention patent CN 1408360A, CN1562050A.)

2. Improving immunity and resisting tumor

Mannuronic oligosaccharides can promote the proliferation of T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes, thus improving the level of cellular and humoral immunity. Mannuronic oligosaccharides activate monocytes to produce tumor necrosis factor and interleukin, it can also improve the defense ability of organism to tumor cells and enhance the function of host immune system. Mannuronic oligosaccharides have no cytotoxicity and no damage to normal cells.

3. Fight type 2 diabetes

Mannuronic oligosaccharides can reduce the basal glucose, regulate lipid metabolism, and increase insulin sensitivity. Mannuronic oligosaccharides also can reduce the content of triglycerides in liver tissue, has a certain prevention and cure effect of fatty liver.

4. Anti-oxidation, scavenging free radicals and delaying aging

Mannuronic oligosaccharides can effectively remove superoxide anion (O2-), hydroxyl radical (OH-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and other radicals. It also has a strong activity of chelating ferrous ions, reducing lipid peroxidation, thus delaying cell senescence.
