Fructo-oligosaccharides (F.O.S.) are a class of soluble fibre naturally sourced fromchicory root. F.O.S. can also be found naturally in onion, garlic and jerusalem artichoke.

F.O.S. are not digested in the upper gastro-intestinal tract and reach the colon intact. Here they are used to support the health of the colon.

Fructo-oligosaccharides help in 3 ways:-

• They maintain a high moisture content of faecal matter (reduce transit time) and lower the pH of the colon.
• They stimulate the natural growth of healthy, bifido bacteria by providing a "food substrate". They do not encourage bacteriodes or pathogenic micro-organisms.
• Through the production of short chain fatty acids, they provide an energy source for epithelial gut mucosa cells, helping to maintain optimal intestinal permeability.

This natural non-habit forming fibre source is suitable for long term use and for all ages. Since Eliminex® is heat stable and pleasant tasting, this product may be used in hot foods or drinks, without affecting their palatability.
