FOS Powder, produced by Douglas Laboratories,
supplies 3,000 mg of fructooligosaccharides per serving. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that have short
molecular chains. They function as non-digestible ingredients that can
positively affect selected groups of beneficial intestinal microflora, such as
lactobacillus. While probiotics merely add beneficial microflora, prebiotics
affect the intestinal environment so that beneficial colonies of microflora can
flourish. By aiding the beneficial microflora’s survival, pathogenic microflora
can have a decreased chance of survival. FOS powder may be a useful dietary supplement for
individuals wishing to support their gastrointestinal system. Adults take 1 teaspoon daily with juice or water
or as directed by a physician. No serious side effects reported. Sensitive
individuals may experience mild flatulence. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Cummings JH, Macfarlane GT, Englyst HN. Prebiotic digestion
