Human studies document an increase in beneficial bifidobacteria when FOS (fructooligosaccharides) is ingested.36-41 NutraFlora is the highest quality FOS available. The Japanese use FOS in many food products including soft drinks, cookies, cereals, and candies.
FOS is not digested by the human digestive process, but instead is used as food by bifidobacteria, promoting their proliferation.42,43 FOS also has been found to improve absorption of minerals and thus has positive effects on bone composition and architecture.44
