Description
Fructo-Oligosaccharide Powder (FOS) : Also known as “FOS,” is a white, water-soluble powder found in certain plants such as onions, garlic, asparagus, bananas, and broccoli. FOS is classified as a type of dietary fiber that the human body cannot digest, but beneficial gut bacteria in the large intestine can use it as food. Thus, it contributes to gut health and overall well-being in various ways.

Key Benefits of Fructo-Oligosaccharide Powder
- Promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria : FOS is an excellent food source for beneficial gut bacteria, particularly bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. When these good bacteria are present in sufficient numbers, they help inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, prevent diarrhea, reduce constipation, and enhance the efficiency of the digestive system.
- Enhances the immune system : Beneficial gut bacteria play a crucial role in the immune system. FOS promotes the growth of these beneficial bacteria, thereby helping the body become stronger and less susceptible to illnesses.
- Regulates blood sugar levels : The primary mechanism of FOS in regulating blood sugar levels is by reducing sugar absorption in the intestines. When we consume sugary foods, the body digests these sugars into glucose molecules, which are absorbed into the bloodstream through the intestinal wall. FOS binds to some glucose molecules, slowing down glucose absorption and preventing post-meal blood sugar spikes.
- Weight management : When consumed, FOS is fermented by beneficial gut bacteria into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which stimulate the release of GLP-1, a hormone that sends signals to the brain to promote a feeling of fullness. This reduces appetite, helps control hunger, and decreases calorie intake by making you feel full for longer periods.
- Improves bone strength : FOS enhances the absorption of calcium and magnesium from food in the body. These minerals are essential for bone health, helping to build bone mass and maintain strong bones. Therefore, FOS contributes to ensuring that the body receives adequate calcium and magnesium to meet its needs.
