Our Fructo-Oligosaccharides supplement is a chicory root powder-sourced dietary fiber.* It should offer prebiotic effects at doses of 10 grams a day, or 2 teaspoons of the supplement.*
What are Fructo-Oligosaccharides?
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are naturally derived carbohydrate chains classified as prebiotic dietary fibers.* Extracted from chicory root powder, these fibers are not digested in the small intestine but instead reach the colon, where they are supposed to serve as nourishment for beneficial gut bacteria.*
This fermentation process may lead to the production of short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which might be associated with maintaining a healthy gut environment.*
This is how fructooligosaccharides may:*
- Support regularity and stool volume without discomfort;*
- Promote colonic fermentation and a balanced intestinal ecosystem;*
- Encourage microbial diversity and gut resilience.*
Potential Benefits of Fructo-Oligosaccharides*
FOS may appear among the most researched prebiotic fibers.* By selectively nourishing strains such as Bifidobacterium, they might help promote balance within the gut microbiota – a potential key contributor to overall digestive health.*
In addition to their possible role in gut health, FOS could offer other wellness-supporting properties.* They may:*
- Help increase satiety when paired with a balanced diet;*
- Support normal lipid metabolism and cholesterol balance;*
- Promote regular bowel movements and intestinal comfort;*
- Encourage a favorable microbial environment for nutrient absorption.*
