The role and principle of L-arabinose in the human body

Scientists and nutritionists have done a lot of research on the role of L-arabinose in sugar metabolism in the intestine:

• Clinical trials have shown that L-arabinose has a blocking effect on the metabolic conversion of sucrose, making it promising for weight loss and diabetes control.
• The American Medical Association also lists L-arabinose as a nutritional supplement or over-the-counter drug for anti-obesity agents.
• In the list of specific health foods in Japan's Ministry of Health and Welfare, L-arabinose is listed as a special special health food additive for regulating blood sugar.
• A number of Japanese companies have already asked about the relevant products. For example, Mitsui Co., Ltd. has developed a "healthy sugar" that adds 3% of arabin to sucrose and was put on the market in 2006.
• Unitika Corporation of Japan has also developed a series of health care products with added sugar and applied for patent protection.

Detoxification

80% of people take 20 grams of arabin, 30 minutes to 3 hours will have a normal bowel toxicity reaction, about 10% of people will have bowel suffocation and other reactions, and another 10% of people do not respond, indicating intestinal problem. In order to explain this problem, we introduce two keywords: semi-permeable membrane, osmotic pressure. What is a semipermeable membrane? The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane, which can exchange substances inside and outside. The outside oxygen and nutrients enter, and the waste and CO2 inside are discharged, so the cell membrane is both a physical barrier and a substance exchange. The bladder of an animal is a semi-permeable membrane. A handful of sucrose is added to the bladder of the animal containing water. The bladder is rich in sugar water. The bladder containing the concentrated sugar water is placed in a basin of clear water. We find that the water is slowly inhaled into the bladder. Inside. Why is this happening? It is because there is a difference in concentration inside and outside the bladder, that is, the osmotic pressure difference. To narrow the concentration difference, there are only two ways. One is that the sugar molecules go out, and the other is that the water molecules come in, but the sugar molecules are too big to get out. Only the water molecules enter, so the water slowly enters the bladder to dilute the concentrated sugar water. Imagine that the sucrose and arabin that have not been absorbed enter the large intestine and form a concentrated sugar water environment. The water can be inhaled into the large intestine, soften the stool, produce the intention, and discharge the intestinal tract. The whole process is a physical process, without any worry.

Clean up the intestines

After oral administration of hexose, the sucrose and arabin which cause the enzyme to be decomposed and digested are directly treated as garbage, enter the large intestine, provide a nutrient source for the probiotics in the large intestine, promote the reproduction of probiotics, optimize the intestinal environment, and therefore many intestinal tracts. The recovery of the problem is very helpful.

lose weight

The accumulation and consumption of fat is related to the amount of energy consumed by each person. On the one hand, the consumption of sugar by the meal can control the digestion and absorption of sugar in the staple food, so that the ability to enter the body is reduced, and the body is converted into energy by breaking down fat. On the other hand, sugar that is not digested enters the large intestine and is used by beneficial bacteria. When beneficial bacteria are proliferated, a large amount of organic acid is produced. The organic acid provides synthesis of fat and reduces the production of introverted fat.
So you can achieve the effect of losing weight.

Hypoglycemic

As we all know, the food we consume every day must be digested and decomposed by enzymes to be absorbed. For example, protein should be digested and digested by proteases. Starch should be decomposed and digested by amylase. The fat should be decomposed and digested by lipase. These foods are decomposed and digested and then absorbed through the small intestine. What about the sucrose we consume every day? Because sucrose is a disaccharide composed of fructose and glucose, it cannot be directly absorbed. It also needs to be decomposed and digested into fructose and glucose to be absorbed by the small intestine to replenish energy. Therefore, all of us have such a life experience. When the dizziness is hungry, the blood sugar is low. After eating the fruit candy, the blood sugar is raised, and the head is not dizzy. This is the reason. When we take the arabinose, the affinity of the arabinose and the sucrase is much greater than the affinity of the sucrose and the sucrase. Therefore, the arabinose steals the sucrase, which causes the sucrose not to be broken down by the sucrase, and the sucrose is not decomposed. If you are not absorbed, you cannot enter the bloodstream. Therefore, arabin can achieve the effect of hypoglycemic by inhibiting the absorption of sucrose.
