Description
Yuebo Jia and co-authors review plant sugars from Chinese medicine for ulcerative colitis, in a 2026 paper. Ulcerative colitis is a chronic gut disease with pain, diarrhea, and bloody stools. Cases are rising worldwide, and standard treatments remain limited. Polysaccharides, long sugar chains from medicinal herbs, show many helpful actions in early studies.
Lab work suggests they calm immune pathways, ease inflammation and oxidative stress, and guard the gut wall. They also raise levels of proteins that seal the gut lining and rebalance gut microbes. Their exact targets are still murky, though. Poor absorption and missing clinical trials slow the path to patients. The review urges better delivery methods to match the promising biology.
