Gos helps to maintain gut health throughout our lifecycle and can also provide significant health benefits in animals.
Prebiotics: healthier gut, healthier life
Maintaining gut health is essential for all of us throughout our lifecycle. Prebiotics support the body’s natural defenses, improve the absorption of key minerals in our diet and promote digestive comfort.
●Support natural defenses
●Increase mineral absorption
●Aid digestive comfort
GOS reaches the large intestine mostly intact where it is consumed by ‘friendly’ bacteria and helps them thrive – in particular Bifidobacteria12 and Lactobacilli.15 As ‘friendly’ bacteria thrive, there is less room in the gut for ‘harmful’ bacteria to take hold.GOS works and its potential for promoting gut health.
