What Is The Source?
FOS is derived from fermentation of raw sugar cane using
Aspergillus enzymes. Ascorbyl palmitate (capsules only)
is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil.

GI Health: The prebiotic FOS is a probiotic enhancing
combination of the non-digestible carbohydrates, l-ketose
GF2, nystose GF3, and fructofuransylnystose, which helps
maintain an intestinal environment hospitable to beneficial microflora.
FOS supports natural intestinal mechanical barriers, promoting gut integrity. Oral ingestion of FOS
allows it to pass largely intact through the upper intestinal tract into the colon, where it is selectively utilized as
growth nutrients by the beneficial bacteria, bifidobacteria
and lactobacillus. FOS has a shorter polymer chain length
than inulin, increasing the solubility and support for the
growth of beneficial bacteria.
