Acetylated Mannans

Acetylated mannans are the biologically active component in fresh Aloe vera L. gel.
 
Acemannan, a mucopolysaccharide, is a long chain sugar which interjects itself into all cell membranes. This results in an increase in the fluidity and permeability of the membrane allowing toxins to flow out of the cell more easily and nutrients to enter the cell. This results in improved cellular metabolism throughout the body and an overall boost in energy production.  Acemannan has been shown to possess a unique combination of immumodulatory and antiviral properties.  The vicious cycle of maldigestion and cellular starvation is finally broken as the acemannan normalizes absorption of nutrients and increases tolerance for allergenic foods. The immune system is now stronger, under control, and better prepared for any new threat.
 
According to John C. Pittman, M.D.:
 
Galactomannans are a class of long chain sugars derived from plants, which have been shown in laboratory and clinical studies to have a wide variety of immune stimulating and protective effects within the body. In studying the different sources of this polymer, it has been discovered that the Aloe barbadensis plant contains the greatest concentration of acetylated mannan which is also the most active form of mannans. This "acemannan" has been shown to have many effects in the body, mostly impacting on the gastrointestinal and immune Systems, which are intricately related. Before elaborating on acemannan's beneficial effects, it is appropriate to discuss the type of pathology often present in individuals experiencing immune system depression.

The most striking commonality found in individuals suffering with immuno-depressive conditions (Epstein-Barr virus, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, systemic candidiasis, HIV infection and others) is their high incidence of digestive dysfunction and maldigestion. This has several effects that contribute to stress on the immune system and therefore its weakening.


As the biologic activities of Aloe Vera derived acemannan have been elucidated, it has been shown to have a remarkable ability to normalize all of these damaging processes and therefore contribute significantly to the enhancement of immune system function. In the intestinal system, acemannrin acts as a potent anti-inflammatory agent, neutralizing many of the enzymes responsible for damaging the mucosal wall. This results in decreased leakiness of the intestinal wall and less absorption of allergic stimulating foreign protein. Acemannan has direct virucidal, bactericidal, and fungicidal properties which can help control Candida overgrowth so that normal gastrointestinal bacterial flora can be restored. Acemannan also stimulates intestinal motility, helping to move allergenic proteins into the colon. All these processes help to normalize gastrointestinal wall structure and function and therefore stop the vicious macrophages, killer T-cells, and monocytes, as well as increasing the number of antibody forming B-cells in the spleen. Acemannan also protects the bone marrow from damage by toxic chemicals and drugs such as AZT.
