What is Organic Galactooligosaccharides?
Organic Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are natural prebiotic fibers derived from 100% certified organic lactose, sourced from organic dairy or plant-based alternatives (e.g., organic coconut milk). Through enzymatic synthesis, these non-digestible oligosaccharides selectively stimulate beneficial gut bacteria (Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli), supporting digestive health, immune function, and mineral absorption.
Certified USDA Organic, EU Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified, organic GOS is a cornerstone ingredient for infant formulas, dairy products, and functional foods. With neutral flavor, high solubility, and heat stability (up to 150°C), it enables clean-label claims such as “organic,” “prebiotic,” and “non-GMO,” aligning with global demand for science-backed, ethically sourced nutrition.

Key Features & Benefits
- Infant & Pediatric Health
- Mimics the prebiotic effects of human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), promoting healthy gut microbiota in infants.
- Clinically proven to reduce allergies and support immune development in early life.
- Organic & Clean-Label
- Sourced from certified organic dairy or plant-based lactose (vegan options available).
- Free from GMOs, artificial additives, and allergens (gluten, soy).
- Prebiotic Performance
- Resistant to gastric acidity and enzymolysis, ensuring targeted delivery to the colon.
- Stimulates production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), enhancing gut barrier integrity.
- Functional Versatility
- Soluble in water, stable during pasteurization, and ideal for UHT-treated beverages and baked goods.
- Acts as a mild sweetener and bulking agent in sugar-reduced and low-GI products.
