Jarrows Inulin FOS FructoOligoSaccharides
are soluble fibers found in an array of plant
foods, including chicory, onions, asparagus and
bananas.
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) promote gut and
overall health through their fermentation by gut
flora, primarily in the colon, to yield
important metabolites, including lactic acid and
the short chain fatty acids acetate, propionate
and butyrate.
These metabolites help to maintain proper pH
in the gut, discourage the growth of undesirable
bacteria, reduce the absorption of toxic ammonia
and positively affect bone health by increasing
the bioavailability of dietary calcium.
Acetate, propionate and butyrate may also
promote the integrity of the intestine cells
lining the colon and promote healthy lipid
metabolism.
BENEO™ Synergy1 delivers both long-chain and
short-chain saccharides to the gut, promoting
the growth of beneficial bacteria.
