What is Organic Fructooligosaccharides?
Organic Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are certified organic, non-GMO prebiotic fibers derived from organic sugarcane or chicory root via enzymatic hydrolysis. These short-chain fructans selectively nourish beneficial gut bacteria (e.g., Bifidobacteria), enhance mineral absorption, and replace sugar in low-glycemic formulations. Available in powder and syrup formats, they cater to diverse applications in functional foods, beverages, and nutraceuticals. Certified USDA Organic, vegan, and gluten-free.
