What is Fructo-oligosaccharides?
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are a type of prebiotic fiber composed of short chains of fructose molecules. They are classified as nondigestible carbohydrates and are commonly used in dietary supplements. FOS is frequently included in formulations marketed for gut health and immune system support due to its role in modulating the gut microbiota. These ingredients are often found in products such as digestive health supplements, synbiotics, and functional foods aimed at promoting a balanced intestinal environment.
