Product Description

 

Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) is a kind of functional oligosaccharide with natural properties. Its molecular structure generally connects 1~7 galactose groups on galactose or glucose molecules, namely Gal-(Gal) n-glc /Gal(n = 0-6).In nature, a small amount of GOS exists in animal milk, while human breast milk contains a large amount. Therefore, the establishment of bifidobacteria in infants is largely dependent on the GOS in breast milk.

Health Benefits of Oligofructose Or FOS

Fructooligosaccharide serves as a substrate for microflora in the large intestine, increasing the overall gastrointestinal tract (GI Tract) health. Fructooligosaccharide has also been proposed as a supplement for treating yeast infections.

Several studies have found that Oligofructose Or FOS and inulin promote calcium absorption in both the animal and the human gut.The intestinal microflora in the lower gut can ferment Oligofructose Or FOS, which results in a reduced pH. Calcium is more soluble in acid, and, therefore, more of it comes out of food and is available to move from the gut into the bloodstream.

Oligofructose Or FOS can be considered a small dietary fibre with (like all types of fibre) low caloric value. The fermentation of Oligofructose Or FOS results in the production of gases and acids. The latter provide some energy to the body.

Oligofructose Or FOS are also used as prebiotics. Prebiotics act as food for "good" bacteria in the intestine.  People can take probiotics by mouth to increase the number in their intestine.
