Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) Powder Description:
FOS powder, or Fructooligosaccharides powder, is a prebiotic fiber supplement that feeds good gut bacteria like lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, promoting digestive health and enhancing probiotics, often used as a low-calorie sweetener or mixed into drinks. It’s a non-digestible carbohydrate that passes through the small intestine to the colon, supporting beneficial flora and potentially aiding weight management and cholesterol levels, though sensitive individuals might experience gas.
Fructooligosaccharides Usage
- FOS can promote the increment of bifidobacterium, prevent getting inflamed, improve bowel function, enhance immunity and disease resistance, reduce the incidence of oral cavity ulcer, promote the absorption of minerals in human body, prevent constipation, prevent tooth decay, hairdressing, reduce blood fat, etc.
- As functional factor, FOS can be applied to the dairy products, beverage, candy, pastry, livestock products, meat and aquatic products. In addition, FOS is good choice for diabetics
