Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are a type of oligosaccharide, which are complex carbohydrates composed of a small number of sugar molecules. Specifically, fructo-oligosaccharides are composed of fructose units linked together by glycosidic bonds.
FOS are naturally occurring compounds found in various fruits, vegetables, and grains. They serve as a prebiotic, meaning they promote the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. FOS are not digested by human enzymes in the small intestine, so they pass undigested into the colon, where they can be fermented by bacteria.
Due to their prebiotic properties, fructo-oligosaccharides offer several potential health benefits. They can support digestive health by stimulating the growth of beneficial bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus, while inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. This can help maintain a healthy balance of gut microbiota and improve overall gut function.
Additionally, FOS may enhance mineral absorption, particularly calcium and magnesium, and contribute to improved bone health. They can also aid in the regulation of blood sugar levels, as they are not readily absorbed and do not cause a significant spike in blood glucose levels.
