ARABINO is L-Arabinose, a naturally derived pentose which inhibits the sucrase. Under normal conditions,
sucrase hydrolyzes sucrose in the small intestine and facilitates the absorption of sucrose into the body. ARABINO effectively suppresses the digestion and absorption of sucrose resulting in the effective prevention of the elevation of the blood glucose level. We are the first company in the world to successfully mass produce the L-Arabinose.
Normally, sucrose is hydrolyzed by sucrase into glucose and fructose, which exists in the mucous membrane of the small intestine. ARABINO’s unique inhibitory mechanism blocks the sucrase activity. When ARABINO is taken together with foods which includes sucrose, it effectively suppresses the digestion and absorption of sucrose into the bloodstream. This suppresses blood glucose level elevation, and in turns prevents the secretion of insulin. Moreover, the remaining unabsorbed sucrose reaches the large intestine and acts as a “prebiotics” substance.
Normally, the sucrose absorbed by the human body is catabolized and produces Carbon Dioxide, which is excreted through exhalation. When ARABINO is taken together with sucrose, the level of Carbon Dioxide excretion becomes moderate compared to when sucrose is taken alone. In other words, when sucrose is taken with small amount of ARABINO, it will effectively suppress the digestion and absorption of sucrose.
Under normal conditions, uptaken sucrose is digested and absorbed in the small intestine, resulting in the elevation of blood glucose levels. When ARABIO is taken together with sucrose, its digestion and absorption is suppressed. As a result, the elevation of blood glucose level is suppressed.
Since ancient times, “sucrose” has been the most desired sweetener. With ARABINO, one can enjoy the unadulterated natural taste of “sucrose” and at the same time decreases the uptake of sucrose into the body. ARABINO itself has a sweeteness index rating of 60% when compared to natural sucrose, and can be enjoyed with wide variety of food and drink.
