Benefits
This supplement features a naturally occurring soluble fibre known as Fructo‑oligosaccharides (FOS) — a type of prebiotic found in everyday vegetables like chicory and onions. Instead of being broken down during digestion, FOS travels through the gut untouched until it reaches the bowel, where your friendly bacteria use it as their preferred fuel source. This helps encourage the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus.
Studies show that taking 8g of FOS daily for just two weeks can boost levels of these helpful bacteria by as much as tenfold, making it a popular choice for anyone looking to support their digestive well being.
Our FOS is derived from chicory root and is suitable for all ages — including children, pregnant women, and those following yeast‑free diets or taking medication. It’s gentle enough for long‑term use and incredibly easy to incorporate into your routine. The powder has a naturally sweet taste and dissolves quickly, whether you mix it into hot or cold drinks, sprinkle it over cereal, or simply enjoy it straight from the spoon.

Cautions
If any of these intake levels cause excessive flatulence then to reduce the dose and gradually build up. The flatulence is a positive sign that FOS has reached the bowel and is feeding your ‘friendly’ bacteria. As the bacteria consume FOS a gas is produced which can lead to some flatulence at first however after a few days this will disappear as further ‘friendly’ bacteria develop and absorb the gases. For intakes over 10g (or 5g in children); dividing the intake into 2 daily doses 1 at each end of the day will help reduce flatulence.
FOS may cause temporary bloating. This is a short-term effect and once your system ‘speeds up’ the bloating will disappear. If bloating continues for more than 3 days then reduce the daily intake of FOS.
Be sure to drink at least 2 litres of fluids a day
