Indications

Diabetes Mellitus Bacterial Infection Cancer Inflammation

Arabinoxylan can increase NK cell activity by as much as 300% in just a couple of weeks. BioBran does the same, and T cell and B cell activity rise by 200 and 150% respectively. Research has also shown that it can help boost natural antibody production significantly, along with other parameters of the immune system. This matters more as we age, because the immune system naturally declines with age. Research shows that Arabinoxylan also has anti-inflammatory effects and antioxidant scavenging activity. It can improve glucose tolerance, improve pancreatic and liver function, reduce the adverse effects of chemotherapy, and improve general quality of life. Because it supports the immune system and reduces inflammation, Arabinoxylan is an important food supplement in many situations. (Please note that most of the research has been done on cancer, and more research is needed on viral infections, bacterial infections and diabetes.) Arabinoxylan is basically used for patients who are attacked by cancer, virus and bacteria.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Endo et al. gave Arabinoxylan by mouth to mice and found substances in the serum that react to the Arabinoxylan antibody. This suggests that constituents of Arabinoxylan enter the body after oral administration. The authors also ran a 13-day oral dose study in rats, and compared with the control, Arabinoxylan significantly increased the number of Peyer's patches. That points to a stimulating effect of the polysaccharides in the cell wall of grains on the gut immune system.

Taken together, these results indicate that some components of Arabinoxylan are absorbed by the digestive tract and show activity in vivo, while others act indirectly on the gut immune system. The immunomodulatory effect is considered to come from these components as a whole.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Doctors don't yet know enough about how arabinoxylan affects a woman during pregnancy or while breast-feeding.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: The recommended dose of Arabinoxylan is 1 to 3 gram per day, taken by mouth. The body doesn't build up a resistance to it, so this food supplement can be taken safely and effectively over a long period. Unlike other immunomodulators, the dose doesn't need to be increased slowly. Most research has used 30 to 45 mg/kg/day in divided doses with meals, with maintenance doses down to 15 mg/kg/day. For general health maintenance, take at least 500 mg a day (unless it is potentised with yeast). For more serious immune support, such as in arthritis, diabetes, hepatitis B, hepatitis C and other infections, the recommended dose is 1000 mg a day. Where the immune system is severely compromised, such as with cancer or AIDS, 3 g per day is recommended for 1 month and then 1g per day after that. Arabinoxylan should always be taken after food, ideally 30 minutes after, and larger daily amounts should be divided into three portions and taken with breakfast, lunch and dinner. If the person taking it is very ill, they can stay on 3 g per day for an extended period. Apart from general health maintenance, we always recommend that you tell your doctor you are taking this supplement, so that he or she can fit it into your treatment program.
