Arabinogalactan — a gentle prebiotic from Siberian larch

A water-soluble polysaccharide extracted from Dahurian larch (Larix dahurica). Selectively nourishes beneficial gut bacteria, supports immune function and helps bind and eliminate heavy metals and toxins. Has a mild, slightly sweet taste.

What is arabinogalactan and who needs it

A soluble dietary fibre from larch wood with confirmed prebiotic and immune-modulating properties, studied since the 1990s.

Arabinogalactan (AG) is a highly branched, high-molecular-weight polysaccharide found abundantly in the wood of Dahurian larch. In the colon, it is fermented by bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, stimulating growth of beneficial microflora and the production of short-chain fatty acids (butyrate, propionate) — key nutrients for the gut mucosa.

AG is almost completely water-soluble, forming a smooth solution with a mildly sweet flavour. This makes it exceptionally convenient for daily use: simply dissolve the powder in warm water and drink it as a regular supplement beverage.

Beyond its prebiotic effect, arabinogalactan binds and facilitates the excretion of heavy metals, radionuclides and metabolic waste products — making it especially relevant for people living in industrialised or polluted environments.

Who benefits most

🦠People looking to restore or maintain gut microbiome after antibiotics, stress or an imbalanced diet
🛡Immune support — particularly during autumn and winter or when prone to frequent respiratory infections
🏭Urban and industrial-area residents: binding and elimination of heavy metals and environmental toxins
🍽Supporting healthy digestion, gut motility and regular bowel habits

Key properties

🦠

Prebiotic

Selectively feeds bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Stimulates short-chain fatty acid production, supporting gut mucosa health and a balanced microbial ecosystem.

🛡

Immune support

Activates NK cells and macrophages via intestinal immune receptors. Helps the body respond more effectively to pathogens during respiratory virus season.

🧹

Sorbent and detox

Binds and eliminates heavy metals, radionuclides and metabolic by-products. Gently cleanses the gut without irritating the intestinal lining.

🍃

Gut motility

Soluble fibre normalises stool consistency and supports regular peristalsis — without laxative effects.

How to take

Arabinogalactan fits easily into your daily routine — just dissolve in warm water.

1
Measure 1–5 level scoops (4–20 g)
Start with the minimum dose (1 scoop) and increase gradually to a comfortable level over several days.
2
Dissolve in warm water ~40 °C (104 °F)
Use 200–250 ml of water. Avoid boiling water — temperatures above 60 °C may degrade the polysaccharide structure.
3
Take in 1–3 servings throughout the day
Can be taken before, during or after meals — arabinogalactan does not depend on food timing.
4
Course duration: 2–4 weeks or longer
The prebiotic effect builds gradually. Confirm the exact duration of your course with a consultant or doctor.

Scientific evidence

Larch arabinogalactan has been studied as an immune modulator and prebiotic since the 1990s.

Customer reviews

«I take arabinogalactan in courses — mild taste, dissolves easily. They explained the dosage over the phone, everything was clear straight away.»

Marina, 44 · Irkutsk

«After a course of antibiotics I took arabinogalactan to restore my microbiome. My digestion settled quickly and I've felt much better since.»

Natalia, 39 · Krasnoyarsk

«I live next to a busy road — wanted something gentle for gut comfort without a drama. A glass of water with the powder in the morning; the taste is neutral. The team answers WhatsApp the same day if I have a silly question about timing.»

Frequently asked questions

Arabinogalactan is a highly branched, fully water-soluble polysaccharide with documented immune-modulating action. Unlike insoluble fibre, it dissolves completely in water and is specifically fermented by the bacteria most beneficial for the immune system — bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.
Mild and slightly sweet with a subtle woody note. Most customers drink it simply with water; it can also be added to tea or juice.
Yes — these two products complement each other and form the core of the range. DHQ acts as an antioxidant and capillary protector; arabinogalactan as a prebiotic and immune modulator. Together they cover vascular and gut health simultaneously.
