Short-chain fructo-oligosaccharides are obtained from sugar
beet, by means of an enzyme produced by Aspergillus niger, a
microscopic fungus widely used in the food industry. The effects
of short-chain oligosaccharides have been demonstrated in over
150 scientific and medical studies, which have investigated the
effects of daily consumption of 2.5 g. ¤ Fructo-oligosaccharides
selectively nourish the bifidobacteria that benefit intestinal
flora. A notable positive effect on the proliferation of these
bacteria was observed at a dose of 2.5 g fructo-oligosaccharides
a day, an effect which increased with doses up to 10 g a day.
The bifidogenic effect is apparent after only four days of
taking fructo-oligosaccharides. ¤ Fructo-oligosaccharides : -
improve digestive health : - promote a healthy colon and
digestive system. Taking fructo-oligosaccharides stimulates
production of short-chain fatty acids, particularly butyrate,
the fuel' of the colon. By increasing butyrate levels from
intestinal fermentation, fructo-ol
