FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharides)

Fructooligosaccharides from Chicory Root in Powder Form

Fructooligosaccharides from chicory root in powder form for personalized use / Suitable for diabetics, children, and pregnant women

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are a type of water-soluble carbohydrate found in many vegetables, such as chicory and onions. When consumed through the diet, they are used by the friendly bacteria of the gut microbiota as a nutritional substrate. This process promotes the growth of the normal intestinal bacterial flora (prebiotic effect).

Nutritional studies have shown that daily intake of 8g of FOS for a period of 2 weeks leads to a significant increase in the population of beneficial gut bacteria (a tenfold increase in Bifidobacteria and a threefold increase in Lactobacilli), while simultaneously reducing the population of pathogenic Bacteroides bacteria by one-third.

Προφυλάξεις +

Precautions:
If any of the above-mentioned dosage regimens causes increased gas production, it is recommended to reduce the intake and gradually increase the dose.
Gas production is a byproduct of the metabolism of the increased number of bacteria in the intestinal flora and is therefore a sign that the FOS is working.
Gradually, and as FOS use continues, gas production will decrease as the newly developed beneficial bacteria will absorb the gases.

For dosages above 10g (or 5g in children): it is recommended to divide the daily dose into two smaller doses (e.g., midday and evening), which helps reduce the amount of gas produced.

FOS may cause temporary bloating. This is a transient symptom which will gradually subside as your digestive system increases its activity.
If bloating continues for more than 3 days, it is recommended to reduce the FOS dosage.

Allergies:
This product DOES NOT CONTAIN: gluten, wheat allergens, barley, soy, eggs, milk (and milk derivatives), lactose, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, or sulphites.
