Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) Transgalactooligosaccharides (TOS) Polydextrose Psyllium Resistant starch (RS) Wheat dextrinWhile there’s debate over which prebiotics are the most effective, it is clear that ingesting any prebiotics with probiotics or cultured foods is beneficial.What Is a Prebiotic Supple...
Populating your gut with these fiber all-stars is like sending in the cavalry for your microbiome – it becomes more diverse and robust, which is a huge win for body resilience. Here’s where the magic happens: once the good bacteria belly up to the prebiotic bar, they start fermenting ...
Examples of specific prebiotics include inulin found in garlic and onions, resistant starch found in unripe bananas, pectin found in apples and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) found in asparagus. Prebiotic carbs can also be isolated and added to foods. Inulin, for example, is increasingly added to pr...
Fructo-oligosaccharides, galacto-oligosaccharides and inulin are the three major groups of beneficial prebiotics and certain strains of probiotics thrive off of certain types of prebiotics. Once they ferment in the digestive tract, they can increase the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), ...
Prebiotic, probiotic, and postbiotic: Now that’s a lot of biotics. And we’re not even going into synbiotics and psychobiotics! The first thing to know about these three main biotics is that they work in a continuum: prebiotics feed probiotics, which createpostbiotics. And only one of th...
We're shining a light on the all-important benefits of prebiotic fiber and how to add more prebiotic fiber foods to your diet.

Prebiotic fiber is usually in the form of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) or galactooligosaccharides (GOS). On a microscopic level, these are long chains of plant carbohydrates. FOS doesn’t spike blood sugar. In fact, it has been shown to decrease fasting glucose and insulin levels.(1) Prebiotic...
FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharides) is a mixture of oligosaccharides (GF2, GF3, GF4) which are composed of fructose units connected by ß (2-1) links. These molecules are terminated by a fructose unit. The total number of fructose or glucose units (Degree of Polymerization or DP) of oligofructose...
