Arabinogalactan: what it is in plain words

Arabinogalactan is a natural polysaccharide whose molecule is built from two simple sugars: arabinose and galactose. In nature it occurs in acacia gum and in larch wood.

According to the developer of the range, NPK Sibirskie Tekhnologii LLC, the company specialises in deep processing of Siberian larch. Two substances are extracted from the same wood raw material: the flavonoid dihydroquercetin (taxifolin) and the polysaccharide arabinogalactan. That is why they almost always appear together in Success Together ingredient lists.

Although both components come from the same tree species, their chemical nature and role in a product are completely different.

For powders and some capsules the manufacturer publishes the exact amount of arabinogalactan in grams or milligrams. For stick suspensions and jelly the substance is listed as part of the blend without a separate figure.

In Cardiovitin, Vita Brain, Omega Plus SIBITAX, Success T98 and Success Oil arabinogalactan is not listed separately.

In food manufacturing and functional food compositions arabinogalactan serves as a source of soluble dietary fibre and as a carrier in composite additives such as Taxifolin Siberian P.

Like other components of food supplements and functional drinks, arabinogalactan is not a medicine. Registration documents state no therapeutic or disease-prevention claims. Always check the contraindications on the label of your pack before use.

Is arabinogalactan synthetic or plant-derived?

It is a natural plant-derived polysaccharide. According to the manufacturer, for the Success Together range it is extracted from Siberian larch wood.

Which product in the catalogue has the most arabinogalactan?

Among the published figures the largest amount is stated in Success Protein — 58 g per 660 g pack — followed by Success Matcha powder tea at 7.5 g per 100 g of powder.

Why are milligrams of arabinogalactan not stated for the sticks?

For stick suspensions the manufacturer publishes the total weight of the active blend (for example, 2,420 mg in Success Day and 1,700 mg in Success Night) without breaking down each substance individually.

Is arabinogalactan present in caffeine-free products?

Yes. It is listed in the evening stick Success Night, in Success Protein powder and in the oil capsules Black T, Squalene, Uva-Tax and Kedrovitin Plus.
