The present invention provides a fast and efficient method for separating and preparing biologically active polysaccharides from aloe. The present invention includes an activated mixture of polysaccharides, referred to herein as "immun-10", produced by the method of the present invention. The present invention also encompasses the use of such polysaccharides as immune promoters, immunomodulators, wound healing agents. The resulting immunomodulatory complexes are more stable and have higher activity than bulk carbohydrates isolated using prior art alcohol precipitation schemes. |
