What’s Organic Galactooligosaccharide?
Organic Galactooligosaccharide (GOS) is a naturally derived prebiotic fiber that supports gut health and digestion by promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Sourced from organic lactose (milk sugar) and processed using an enzyme-based method, GOS contains short-chain galactose units, which are resistant to digestion in the small intestine and are fermented by beneficial bacteria in the colon. GOS is widely used in functional foods, dietary supplements, and infant formula due to its ability to support digestive health, immune function, and overall well-being.
Certified organic by both USDA and EU Organic standards, Organic GOS is free from synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and GMOs, making it an ideal ingredient for clean-label products. It is a water-soluble, mildly sweet powder that can be incorporated into a variety of applications, providing both prebiotic benefits and a gentle sweetness.
Key Features:
- 100% Organic: Certified organic by USDA and EU Organic standards, ensuring the product is free from harmful pesticides, GMOs, and chemicals.
- Prebiotic Benefits: Stimulates the growth of beneficial gut bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, supporting digestive health, gut microbiota balance, and immune function.
- Supports Digestive Health: GOS improves gut function by promoting regular bowel movements, reducing constipation, and enhancing nutrient absorption.
- Mild Sweetness: Offers a gentle sweetness (about 30-40% of sucrose), making it a natural alternative to sugar in many food and beverage applications without raising blood sugar levels.
- Non-GMO: Sourced from organic lactose without the use of genetically modified organisms.
- Vegan & Gluten-Free: Suitable for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets, offering a clean-label option for all types of consumers.
- Water-Soluble: Easily dissolves in water, making it versatile for use in beverages, food products, and supplements.
Health Benefits:
- Gut Health Support: GOS acts as a prebiotic fiber, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria like Bifidobacteria in the gut, which is essential for digestive health and balance.
- Improves Digestion: By stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria, GOS helps enhance nutrient absorption, reduce bloating, and alleviate constipation.
- Boosts Immune Function: A healthy gut microbiota supported by GOS helps strengthen the immune system, as gut health is closely tied to immune function.
- Supports Healthy Bowel Movements: GOS has been shown to increase stool frequency and improve bowel movement consistency, making it beneficial for people suffering from constipation.
- Gentle Sweetness: GOS provides a subtle sweetness, making it a useful ingredient for low-sugar and sugar-free formulations.
- Blood Sugar Control: With minimal glycemic impact, GOS does not significantly affect blood sugar levels, making it suitable for diabetic or low-glycemic diets.
- May Improve Mineral Absorption: Prebiotic fibers like GOS help improve the absorption of important minerals such as calcium and magnesium, contributing to bone health.
