OverviewUses
Side Effects
Diabetes: Arabinoxylan might lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Monitor blood sugar levels closely. Doses of conventional antidiabetes medications may need adjustment.
Surgery: Arabinoxylan might affect blood sugar levels. There is concern that arabinoxylan might affect blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop taking arabinoxylan at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

Uses & Effectiveness
Insufficient Evidence for
- Diabetes. Early research suggests that eating food fortified with arabinoxylan for 5 weeks lowers blood sugar levels and insulin levels in people with type 2 diabetes. It also seems to improve blood sugar control in people with this condition.
- Prediabetes. Early research suggests that eating food fortified with arabinoxylan for 6 weeks lowers blood sugar levels and levels of a blood fat called triglycerides. It might also lower post-meal insulin levels, but conflicting results exist.
- Heart disease.
- Constipation.
- Metabolic syndrome.
- Weight loss.
- Other conditions.
Side Effects & Safety
There isn't enough reliable information to know whether arabinoxylan is safe. When taken by mouth, arabinoxylan might cause diarrhea, gas, or stomach pain.Special Precautions & Warnings:
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Not enough is known about the use of arabinoxylan during pregnancy and breast-feeding. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.Diabetes: Arabinoxylan might lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Monitor blood sugar levels closely. Doses of conventional antidiabetes medications may need adjustment.
Surgery: Arabinoxylan might affect blood sugar levels. There is concern that arabinoxylan might affect blood sugar control during and after surgery. Stop taking arabinoxylan at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.

Dosing
The appropriate dose of arabinoxylan depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time, there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for arabinoxylan. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.
