Properties of Acemannan?
Acemannan has strong immunostimulatory and antiviral properties, which have also been demonstrated in scientific studies where it was noted that, through a stimulation of the production of ‘
interferon
, promotes the prevention and eradication of infections of viral origin.
In addition, this polysaccharide is used as a remedy for gastrointestinal disorders, being able to create a kind of coating along the walls of the stomach and intestines, which are thus protected.
