Pentosan

Pentosan A Comprehensive Overview

Pentosan is a xylan oligosaccharide derived from plants, recognized by the FDA for its efficacy in treating bladder pain and interstitial cystitis. Although it shares a class with Heparin, its antithrombotic activity is significantly lower, making it a safer option for certain conditions.

Pentosan injection serves to alleviate inflammation and pain in joints while also aiding in the reduction of cartilage degradation and promoting blood flow to injury sites. Studies suggest that over 8 weeks, joint pain can diminish, and mobility can improve.

Additionally, at lower doses, pentosan acts as a prebiotic, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
