TIENS FOS Syrup

TIENS FOS Syrup
Dietary Supplement With The Dietary Fiber Fructooligosaccharides (FOS)

60ml / 6 packets

A dietary supplement in the form of fructooligosaccharide syrup is recommended for those who want to supplement their daily diet with soluble fiber. FOS soluble fiber is a source of energy for the intestinal flora.

In traditional Chinese medicine, great importance is attached to the proper functioning of the digestive system. According to the Chinese, this is the basis of health. Hence the popularity of dietary supplements that can improve digestion. TIENS FOS syrup is one of them.

The intestinal flora has a major impact on our health. It contains both beneficial types of bacteria and those that can hurt the body. According to the latest data, between 400 and 500 different types of bacteria colonize the intestine. The total mass of human intestinal bacteria is between 1 and 1.5 kilograms. The composition of the intestinal flora is crucial for the proper functioning of the entire body. At the same time, the balance of this specific "ecosystem" can be disturbed, for example, by medication, stress, or aging.

Beneficial probiotic bacteria include Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, which are predominant and naturally occurring in the digestive tract of a healthy person. Clinical research confirms its valuable influence on the digestive system and the formation of the right intestinal flora.

To increase the population of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal flora, one can provide them with fermented milk products or pharmaceutical preparations. The growth of probiotic organisms can also be achieved through the ingestion of prebiotics in the diet. These are indigestible food components that stimulate the growth or activity of bacteria inhabiting the large intestine and promote the health of the host. And according to Chinese medicine, health begins in the colon.

The advantage of prebiotics is that they are only broken down in the large intestine, while their earlier journey through the digestive tract does not affect their properties. The previously described and industrially produced prebiotics are all saccharides.

They include several nondigestible oligosaccharides (NDOs) and some polysaccharides. Prebiotic polysaccharides include inulin and some types of starch that are resistant to the action of digestive enzymes. Oligosaccharides with documented prebiotic properties include fructooligosaccharides (FOS). The FOS syrup is based precisely on its properties.

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are a type of soluble fiber found in plants such as chicory, corn, asparagus, Jerusalem artichoke, and soybeans. They cannot be digested in the small intestine. Instead, they migrate to the lower gut, where they act as a prebiotic food source for the gut flora. Human gut microflora converts FOS into short-chain fatty acids, which nourish colon cells and provide several other benefits.
