Both chitosan and galactose are functional oligosaccharides. where chitosan oligosaccharides are oligosaccharides linked by 2 to 10 glucosamines throughβ-1,4 glycoside bonds. Galactose oligosaccharides are obtained from lactose by the action of β- galactosidase and are oligosaccharides that connect galactose molecules on the galactosyl in lactose molecules. The two oligosaccharides have a lot of similarities in the application function, but the mechanism of action is slightly different. In addition, chitosan oligosaccharides, as the only natural alkaline polysaccharide in nature, also also has properties that other functional sugars do not.

Type of action |
1. Absorbs blood and acts directly on immune cells 2. Promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting harmful bacteria |
Promoting the proliferation of beneficial bacteria and inhibiting harmful bacteria |
|
Regulation of intestinal flora balance |
Promoting the growth of Bifidobacterium, inhibiting the growth of harmful intestinal bacteria, producing B vitamins, decomposing carcinogens, promoting intestinal peristalsis and enhancing protein absorption, some experiments have proved that cos has the effect of inhibiting the adhesion of intestinal pathogens to large intestinal cells |
Inhibition of E. coli and promotion of Bifidobacterium |
|
Prevention of constipation |
By regulating the intestinal flora, promoting the microbial fermentation, the product of fermentation produces osmotic effect, thus accelerating intestinal transport, defecation |

Improving lipid metabolism |
Lower serum levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglycerides |
Reducing total serum cholesterol concentration |
|
Promoting calcium absorption and bone health |
Increased the body's calcium retention, in addition to a significant increase in bone density and strength; accelerated fracture healing |
Promoting calcium absorption and preventing bone loss |
|
Antioxidation |
Chitosan oligosaccharides can effectively scavenge hydroxyl free radical, superoxide anion, dpph and other reactive oxygen free radicals |

Lowering blood sugar |
Can prevent and treat type ii diabetes. It slows the spread of glucose to the intestinal wall and acts on insulin receptors to suppress elevated blood sugar |

antineoplastic |
Inhibition of tumor cell proliferation, induction of tumor cell death, inhibition of vascular hyperplasia, activation of anti-cancer immune cells, stimulate the body's own immunity; |
Indirect inhibition of killing tumor cells through Bifidobacterium proliferation |
|
Enhanced immunity |
Can directly enhance the phagocytosis of macrophages |
Activating the phagocytosis of phagocytes through Bifidobacterium proliferation |
