Note: Acemannan is produced in the human body until puberty. It's one of the substances responsible for the rapid healing of wounds in infants and children. At the age of puberty, our genetic code is "finished", and so our bodies stop producing Acemannan, even though it could be very useful afterwards. This is why Acemannan should be used as a supplement.
