Deva, Vegan Probiotic with FOS Prebiotics, 90 Vegan Caps

100% Vegan Non-Animal Dietary Supplement 100% Vegetarian No Refrigeration Needed High Bacterial Survival Rate in Acidity Not Grown on Dairy 100 mg of Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are added to each capsule as prebiotics. This sciencey, tongue-twisting word is a type of prebiotic that helps probiotics multiply and grow stronger in your gut. Think of prebiotics as sort of like fertilizer for probiotics, feeding, strengthening the good guys so they are strong in their continuous battle in our guts. FOS is one of the most well-known prebiotics. They are found in artichokes, leeks, garlic, onion, wheat and chicory root. But because it is sometimes difficult to get adequate FOS, and many people want more FOS in their gut, supplements are now made available. FOS is a carbohydrate prebiotic. It is made out of a short chain of fructose molecules. You cannot digest or absorb FOS, so it passes through your digestive tract to the large intestine where they act as a food source for probiotics, thus making probiotics stronger. FOS has been shown to stimulate certain types of the good bacteria more than others.
