Fructo-oligosaccarides
(FOS) are a type of carbohydrate that are naturally found in plants such as
onion, chicory, garlic, asparagus, banana and artichoke, among many others. The
FOS used in Bio-Kult Infantis comes from chicory root, and is included to
complement the developing infant gut flora.
FOS
are classed as a type of soluble dietary fibre. FOS cannot be broken down by
our intestinal enzymes, so they travel undigested to the large intestine, where
they are metabolized by our friendly gut bacteria, helping them to thrive and
produce various beneficial compounds.
