What are organic Xylooligosaccharides?
Organic Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are prebiotic fibers derived from organic plant sources such as corn, wheat, or bamboo. XOS are short-chain oligosaccharides made from xylose, a naturally occurring sugar found in the hemicellulose of plant cell walls. XOS are considered a highly effective prebiotic that stimulates the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, promoting digestive health and overall well-being. Certified organic by USDA and EU Organic standards, Organic XOS is an ideal ingredient for functional foods, dietary supplements, and beverages aimed at improving gut health.
Organic XOS are naturally sweet and soluble in water, making them an excellent ingredient for sugar reduction in food and beverage formulations, offering a mild sweetness without contributing significant calories. With its prebiotic properties, XOS is increasingly popular in products targeting digestive health, immune support, and overall wellness.
Key Features:
- 100% Organic: Certified organic by USDA and EU Organic standards, ensuring the product is free from synthetic chemicals, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms.
- Prebiotic Benefits: XOS are classified as prebiotics, which help stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, particularly Bifidobacteria, contributing to improved digestive health and immune function.
- Digestive Health: Supports gut health by promoting a balanced gut microbiome, improving digestion, and potentially reducing bloating and constipation.
- Mild Sweetness: Offers a subtle sweetness (about 40-60% of sucrose) without raising blood sugar levels, making it suitable for low-calorie and sugar-free products.
- Non-GMO: Sourced from organically grown plants without the use of genetically modified organisms.
- Vegan & Gluten-Free: Suitable for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets.
- Water-Soluble: Easily dissolves in water, making it suitable for a wide range of food and beverage applications.
Health Benefits:
- Gut Health: XOS are prebiotics that selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, particularly Bifidobacteria, helping to improve overall gut health and support digestion.
- Immune Support: By promoting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, Organic XOS may help enhance immune function, as a healthy gut microbiome plays a vital role in immune health.
- Relieves Constipation: XOS have been shown to increase stool frequency and improve bowel movement consistency, making them beneficial for people suffering from constipation.
- Reduced Gas and Bloating: As a prebiotic, XOS helps balance the gut microbiota, potentially reducing discomfort associated with bloating and excess gas production.
- Supports Weight Management: XOS contribute to a feeling of fullness, helping to control appetite and support healthy weight management.
