Soluble dietary fiber Galacto-oligosaccharide Galactooligosaccharide GOS

GOS is galacto-oligosaccharide with great similarities to the composition of human milk, and is highly promoted for use in the infant formula and healthfoods because of its combination of benefits and safety.

GOS are composed of galactose molecules with one glucose on the end, altogether containing 3-8 simple sugars. GOS cannot be digested in the human small intestine, so it travels unchanged into the large intestine, where beneficial colonic bacteria break them down into gases and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which can be absorbed and used by the body.

Product Description

Galacto-oligosaccharides
---------Lactose derived, Natural, Safe and Effective

Description:
GOS is galacto-oligosaccharide with great similarities to the composition of human milk, and is highly promoted for use in the infant formula and healthfoods because of its combination of benefits and safety.

GOS are composed of galactose molecules with one glucose on the end, altogether containing 3-8 simple sugars. GOS cannot be digested in the human small intestine, so it travels unchanged into the large intestine, where beneficial colonic bacteria break them down into gases and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which can be absorbed and used by the body.

Characteristics
1. The oligosaccharide naturally existing in breast milk (~0.6%) with effects most    similar to breast milk.
2. Stimulating the growth of both bifidus and acidophilus simultaneously, inhibiting    the growth of pathogens, establishing a healthy intestine microbiota.

3. GOS act as a soluble dietary fiber, which may soften the stool and increase the frequency of bowel movements.
4. Preventing constipation and lowering abdominal distention.
5. Lowering diarrhea, anorexia, and dizziness etc.
6. Regulating immune system and enhancing immunity.

7. Promoting the absorption of calcium, iron, and other minerals; enhancing bone    growth of children; preventing osteoporosis of the elderly and pregnant women.
8. Superior resistance at high temperature and acidic environment; extending post-   processing shelf life; doesn't degrade easily.

9. Low sweetness and calorie.
10. Promoting the absorption of Magnesium and vitamins
