Source Naturals FOS is a complex of fructooligosaccharides (FOS)—a group of naturally occurring carbohydrates that can help promote the growth of beneficial flora in the gastrointestinal tract. The body normally maintains a balance of “friendly” flora in the intestines; unfortunately, factors such as improper diet, stress, gastrointestinal problems, and use of antibiotics may disrupt this delicate balance. FOS are long-chain sugars which are indigestible by humans, but serve as the “food” for friendly flora, helping to increase their numbers in the body. Scientific research conducted in Japan has shown that FOS are selectively used by friendly flora such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli. Tablets: Each tablet contains 1,000 mg of fructooligosaccharides (FOS).*
Powder Option Available: 3.53, 7.05
Suggested Use:
1 rounded teaspoon daily, mixed in water or juice as desired.
Allergies:
Suitable for vegetarians. Contains no yeast, dairy, egg, gluten, corn, soy or wheat. Contains no sugar, starch, salt, preservatives, or artificial color, flavor or fragrance.
