What is Organic Fructooligosaccharide?
Organic Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) is a naturally occurring prebiotic fiber made from organic plant sources, typically chicory root or other fructan-rich plants. FOS consists of short chains of fructose molecules and is known for its ability to promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Certified organic by both USDA and EU Organic standards, Organic FOS is free from synthetic pesticides, chemicals, and GMOs, offering a clean-label solution for food, beverage, and dietary supplement applications.
As a prebiotic, Organic FOS supports digestive health, immune function, and overall well-being by stimulating the growth of beneficial microorganisms such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. It is an excellent ingredient for enhancing gut microbiota balance, improving digestion, and supporting immune health.
Key Features:
- 100% Organic: Certified organic by USDA and EU Organic standards, ensuring the product is free from harmful chemicals, GMOs, and pesticides.
- Prebiotic Benefits: Acts as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria and supporting a healthy digestive system.
- Supports Digestive Health: FOS helps to improve digestion, regulate bowel movements, and reduce symptoms of constipation.
- Natural Sweetness: Offers a mild, natural sweetness that is about 30-50% of sucrose, making it a low-calorie alternative to traditional sweeteners.
- Soluble Fiber: FOS is a soluble fiber, making it easy to incorporate into a variety of food and beverage applications.
- Gluten-Free & Non-GMO: Ideal for gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO products.
- Clean-Label: Free from synthetic additives, preservatives, or chemicals, making it an ideal ingredient for clean-label formulations.
Health Benefits:
- Gut Health: FOS acts as a prebiotic that supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli. A healthy balance of gut microbiota is essential for optimal digestion and overall health.
- Improves Digestion: By enhancing the growth of beneficial bacteria, Organic FOS can help improve bowel regularity, alleviate constipation, and optimize nutrient absorption.
- Immune Support: FOS can help strengthen the immune system by fostering a healthy gut environment, which plays a crucial role in immune function.
- Natural Sweetener: FOS offers a mild sweetness (about 30-50% of sucrose) and can be used as a low-calorie alternative to sugar in food and beverage products.
- Supports Mineral Absorption: Prebiotic fibers like FOS have been shown to improve the absorption of minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which are important for bone health.
- Low Glycemic Impact: FOS has a minimal effect on blood sugar levels, making it suitable for diabetic and low-glycemic diets.
- Weight Management: As a soluble fiber, FOS may contribute to feelings of fullness, helping to control appetite and support weight management.
