manufacturer L-rhamnose Monohydrate Powder CAS 208-296-9


Product Overview:
Rhamnose is a trace sugar widely distributed in plants. It can be present in many kinds of plant glycosides (such as quercetin, isohesperidin, etc.), polysaccharides, especially pectin and colloids in the form of sugars, and can also be present in rhamnose toxins. Rhamnose can be used to measure intestinal permeability, can be used as a sweetener, can reduce Fehling's solution, and react with sodium amalgam to produce rhamnitol. It can be hydrolyzed from xanthorhamnin and quercitin.

Product Details
What is L-Rhamnose Monohydrate?
L-Rhamnose is a naturally occurring deoxy sugar found in certain fruits and plants (e.g., citrus peels, apples, aloe vera). "Monohydrate" refers to its stable crystalline form, commonly used in supplements.
Critically, the human body cannot effectively metabolize L-Rhamnose. It passes largely undigested into the colon and urinary tract, where it acts as a clever "operative" specifically targeting harmful bacteria.
How Does It Work?
L-Rhamnose's core function is a precise mechanism of molecular mimicry, particularly against E. coli—the cause of most UTIs.
Recognition & Attachment: Harmful bacteria (like E. coli) have proteins on their surface called lectins, which act like "hooks" designed to recognize and latch onto specific sugar molecules (e.g., alpha-mannosides) on the urinary and intestinal walls. This allows them to colonize, form biofilms, and cause infection.
Deploying the Decoy: The molecular structure of L-Rhamnose is very similar to these host cell receptors. When you take an L-Rhamnose supplement, it floods the urinary tract and gut.
Deception & Clearance: The bacterial lectin "hooks" mistakenly grab onto the L-Rhamnose "decoys" instead of your tissue cells. Once bound, these "fooled" bacteria cannot attach and are simply flushed out with urine or stool.
L-rhamnose Monohydrate Usage and Synthesis.
Rhamnose can be used to measure intestinal permeability, synthesize cardiotonic drugs, and can be used as a sweetener. It can also be used to produce flavors and spices, and it is edible.- Cardiotonic drugs: Many natural cardiotonic drugs have an L-rhamnose group connected to the end of the molecular structure. In the synthesis process of such cardiotonic drugs, L-rhamnose cas is an indispensable basic raw material. At present, artificial synthesis of cardiotonic drugs using L-rhamnose as one of the basic raw materials is still in the research and development stage and has not yet been put on the market.
- Synthetic flavors: L-rhamnose is mainly used in industrial production to synthesize the flavor furaneol. Furaneol occupies a very important position in the field of fruit flavors. In addition to being directly used as a flavor product, it is also the basic raw material for synthesizing many fruit flavors.
- Food additives: Compared with ribose and glucose, L-rhamnose is more special in terms of reacting with other substances to generate flavor substances. There are five kinds of flavor substances formed by L-rhamnose.
L-Rhamnose vs. D-Mannose: Which One Should I Choose?
| Feature | L-Rhamnose | D-Mannose |
|---|---|---|
| Target Bacteria | Broader spectrum, effective against a wider range of pathogenic E. coli strains (including some D-Mannose insensitive ones) and other bacteria. | Primarily targets E. coli expressing Type 1 pili (a common, but not exclusive, cause of UTIs). |
| Scope of Action | Urinary + Gastrointestinal Tracts. Has direct benefits for gut health due to its prebiotic properties. | Primarily focused on the Urinary Tract. |
| Prebiotic Effect | Strong. Clinically shown to significantly promote specific beneficial bacteria (e.g., Akkermansia). | Weak or not a primary function. |
| Mechanism | Molecular mimicry (decoy). | Molecular mimicry (decoy). |
Is Rhamnose safe for skin?
Rhamnose also exhibits skin-soothing benefits and its humectant properties boost skin's hydration.
How is rhamnose made?
Rhamnose can be isolated from buckthorn (Rhamnus), poison sumac, and plants in the genus Uncaria. Rhamnose is also produced by microalgae belonging to class Bacillariophyceae (diatoms). Rhamnose is commonly bound to other sugars in nature. It is a common glycone component of glycosides from many plants.
Preparation of L-rhamnose Monohydrate.
The traditional method of producing rhamnose is to extract it from natural plants, such as extracting quercetin from oak bark, extracting naringin from citrus peel, or extracting vitamin A from Quercus bark. These substances contain rhamnose groups in their molecules, and rhamnose can be obtained by hydrolyzing these substances. Pure rhamnose is then obtained through extraction and other chemical unit process operations.
How to Choose and Take a High-Quality L-Rhamnose Supplement
- Purity: Look for products clearly labeled as "L-Rhamnose Monohydrate" with high purity.
- Formulation: Some advanced products combine it with D-Mannose, Cranberry Extract (rich in PACs), or Hiprex for a synergistic urinary health complex.
- 3rd Party Testing: Crucial. Choose brands that provide Certificates of Analysis (CoA) from independent labs to verify potency and the absence of contaminants.
- Dosage: For daily prevention, a common range is 500mg to 1500mg, once or twice daily. Dosage may be increased during periods of perceived risk (e.g., after intercourse). Always follow the specific instructions on the product label or the advice of your healthcare provider.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is L-rhamnose monohydrate and where does it come from?
A: L-rhamnose monohydrate is a natural monosaccharide commonly found in a variety of plants, including apples, citrus fruits, and some vegetables. Commercially, it is primarily produced through plant extraction or fermentation processes.
Q2: How does L-rhamnose monohydrate powder support digestive health?
A: It acts as a prebiotic, selectively promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and helping to maintain a healthy gut microbiota balance.
Q3: Are there any side effects to L-rhamnose supplements?
A: L-rhamnose is generally considered safe when used at the recommended dosage. A small number of people may experience mild digestive discomfort, especially when starting use.
Q4: How should I choose a high-quality L-rhamnose monohydrate product?
A: Look for brands that provide third-party laboratory testing results, indicate high purity (≥98%), comply with GMP standards, and have transparent sourcing.
