How does MOS work?
Because of special properties of mannose, MOS has been reported to interfere with pathogen (e.g., Salmonella, E.coli) colonization of the intestines by filling the binding sites, or adhesions, that bacteria use to anchor themselves to the gut wall. There are also indications that MOS can directly alter intestinal morphology – for example, increasing villis crypt depth, which is an indicator of intestinal health.
