Information
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) form part of a group of compounds found in raw fruits and vegetables and selectively support the growth of beneficial bacteria.

FOS are considered as a "pre-biotic" (or prebiotic / prebiotics) as they selectively support the growth of probiotics (beneficial bacteria) - especially bifidobacteria. They can be viewed as a food source for these bacteria.
FOS are technically a soluble fibre because the body cannot digest them.
FOS encourage muscular contractions of the bowel and thus help to accelerate bowel movements. It acts as a bulking agent in the bowel.

FOS can be used as effective sweeteners, being approximately half as sweet as table sugar (sucrose).

NOTE: FOS do not encourage the growth of Candida albicans or other yeast organisms so may be used in conjunction with a yeast reduction programme.
