Larch Arabinogalactan (ARG) is a great source of dietary fiber. It scientifically increases the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA’s), principally butyrate and propionate, minimizes ammonia production and absorption.
These special fatty acids are critically important for the health of the colon. In fact, having an adequate supply of SCFA’s makes colon cells more resistant to both tumor promotion and a variety of intestinal disease.
Larch Arabinogalactan (ARG) acts in the same manner as FOS in humans, offering significant positive effect on gut micro-floral balance. Specifically, this fiber acts to increase good bacteria like bifid-bacteria and lactobacillus, while decreasing bad bacteria.
Since these friendly bacteria are critically important for the health of digestive and immune systems, detoxification and hormone regulating capabilities, nutrient formation and absorption, the growth promoting effects of Larch Arabinogalactan (ARG) on these organisms alone makes it a valuable addition to the human and animals’ diet.
