the Composition of Ambrotose

Larix (Western Larix) provides both Xylose and Arabinogalactan--a polysaccharide derived from wood of the Western larch or Larix occidentalis, which is a mixture of several different arabinogalactans with molecular weights as low as 3,000 daltons and as high as 100,000 daltons. Arabinogalactans are water-soluble polysaccharides comprised of D-galactose and L-arabinose residues in the form of a beta-D-(1-3)-galactan main chain with side chains made up of galactose and arabinose. Arabinose is a superior precursor of the 3 N-acetyl glycoforms (N-acetyl galactose, N-acetyl glucosamine, and N-acetyl neuraminic acid). The N-acetyl forms must be synthesized in the body, as ingesting them results in them being broken-down in the digestive tract into simple sugars.

Aloe Vera (inner leaf gel powder) supplies primarily the D-mannose, although there are other glyconutrients in the naturally occurring sugar profile of the gel.

Rice Starch both supplies the glucose, and acts as an expedient to keep the Ambrotose free-flowing.

Ghatti Gum is a complex polysaccharide of high molecular weight. It occurs as a composition of L-arabinose, D-galactose, D-mannose, and D-xylose in a molecular ratio of 10:6:2:1

Tragacanth gum is a complex mixture of polysaccharides, mostly poly-D-galactose. It has a wide application in pharmaceuticals, and may have applications in controlling cancer cells (Mayhew and Rose, 1964).

Glucosamine HCl the vegetarian source glucosamine.

Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida) is the source of the fucose, and is the finest source of fucose on the planet. Not only is it the highest source, but the particular variety of Undaria we use is from the Tasmanian Sea, one of the last pristine areas in our oceans, and is therefore naturally extremely toxin-free.
