Product Description:
Allergy Research FOS, 100 grams
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are short-chain polymers comprised of D-fructose and D-glucose, which are not metabolised by the body like simple sugars are. For this reason FOS is not considered to be a digestible sugar. They occur naturally in bananas, garlic, Jerusalem artichokes and certain other foods and technically are a soluble fibre. Allergy Research FOS is derived from chicory root. FOS is an effective sweetener, being half as sweet as sucrose, yet not absorbed means it has a minimal calorific value. FOS may be considered pre-biotic as they have shown to selectively support the proliferation of intestinal probiotics, especially Bifidobacteria.
Suggested Use:
As a dietary supplement, 1/2 to 1 level teaspoon (1.25 to 2.5 grams) mixed in water if desired, two to four times daily between meals, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.
CAUTION: Some individuals using FOS experience gastrointestinal bloating that does not subside after 1 of 2 weeks of use. In those cases, FOS should be discontinued. Recent clinical experience by some practitioners suggests that there are some unfriendly microbial invaders that are suspected of feeding on FOS.
Symptoms of that occurring would be as indicated above.
