Mucilage polysaccharides (arabinogalactans, rhamnogalacturonans)
Clinical trialMechanism of Action
High-molecular-weight carbohydrates that coat and protect mucosal surfaces; primary demulcent and anti-inflammatory mechanism
Research Notes
MallowWestern
Well-established demulcent activity. Mucilage integrity is preserved by cold-water maceration. Approved in European phytotherapy for respiratory and oral mucosal inflammation.
