Fructooligosaccharides Prebiotic Fiber Supplement for Digestive Health *

Our Fructo-Oligosaccharides supplement is a sugar beet-sourced dietary fiber produced by the French company Tereos, using a bioconversion process.* 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 sugar beet, 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.*

How is our Fructo-Oligosaccharides Supplement Produced?*

Fructooligosaccharides from SuperSmart are developed by Tereos, a well-established company in the prebiotic innovation field.* They appear to be pioneers of oligofructose in Europe and their product’s prebiotic effect is said to have been recognized by the French authorities since 1996.*

The fiber is obtained through a natural bioconversion process that seems to mirror traditional fermentation.* Sugar derived from sugar beet is enzymatically converted into oligosaccharides by Aspergillus niger, a food-grade fungus.*

This method is entirely GMO-free and results in a clean, plant-based product that may be recognized for its quality and efficacy.*
