They are non-digestible carbohydrates that reach the colon intact, where they are fermented by specific beneficial microorganisms, promoting a healthy gut microbiome. These prebiotics taste sweet and are easy additions to many drinks and recipes.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"product-description\">\n<div class=\"field-expander field-expander-0\">\n<div class=\"details\">\n<p>GOS: Derived from lactose (milk sugar) is a galactose-based oligosaccharide that is easily fermented by Bifidobacterium species.<\/p>\n<p>FOS: Derived from inulin is a fructose-based oligosaccharide that is fermented by a broader range of microorganisms, including Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species.<\/p>\n<p>XOS: Derived from xylan (a type of hemicellulose)\u00a0is a xylose-based oligosaccharide that is selectively fermented by certain Firmicutes species, such as Roseburia and Eubacterium.<\/p>\n<p>Inulin: A naturally occurring fructan found in chicory root and other plants, inulin is a longer-chain polymer of FOS that is also fermented by beneficial microorganisms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits:<\/strong>\u00a0All these prebiotic fibers have been shown to:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Stimulate the growth of beneficial microorganisms, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species.<br \/>\n&#8211; Increase the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which provide energy to the colonic epithelium and support gut health.<br \/>\n&#8211; Improve gut barrier function and reduce inflammation.<br \/>\n&#8211; Enhance immune system function and modulation.<br \/>\n&#8211; Support healthy digestion and bowel habits.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion GOS, FOS, XOS, and inulin are all prebiotic fibers with unique characteristics and benefits.
