Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are a type of soluble fiber found in various vegetables such as chicory and onions. This natural compound can only be partially digested by humans, leaving the undigested portions as food for «amigas» bacteria, the Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus species.

This prebiotic effect means that by multiplying beneficial bacteria, harmful bacteria and yeast are controlled, so fewer toxins are produced. This leads to better bowel tone, more regular bowel movements, and reduced digestive upset.

Research has shown that as little as 2 weeks of a daily intake of 8g of FOS can increase the number of beneficial gut bacteria by 10 times.

Many researchers working in this field believe that prebiotic products are vastly undervalued compared to the popularity of probiotics.
