Description
MarkNature's Food Grade Alginate Oligosaccharide is a high-purity, low molecular weight oligosaccharide produced through enzymatic degradation of natural alginate extracted from kelp (brown seaweed). This product is water-soluble, biocompatible, and easily absorbed by the human body, making it an ideal ingredient in gut health supplements and functional food formulations.
With a molecular weight ≤ 4000 Da and purity ≥ 90%, it provides consistent performance and superior bioavailability. Laboratory testing confirms its low moisture content, minimal insolubles, and excellent microbiological and heavy metal safety. It supports the growth of beneficial gut flora thanks to its prebiotic activity, while being non-toxic and gentle on the digestive system.
