Galacto-Oligosaccharides(GOS)

Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) is a type of naturally occurring carbohydrates made up of short chains of galactose molecules. GOS, known for their prebiotic qualities, acts as a selectively fermentable substrate for good gut bacteria, notably bifidobacteria, boosting their proliferation and activity in the colon. GOS occurs naturally in certain foods, such as legumes and human breast milk. As a prebiotic, GOS helps to create a healthy gut microbiota, which supports digestive health and may enhance the body's natural defenses. Because of their beneficial effect on gut flora and the possible health advantages of prebiotics, GOS is frequently employed as a component in functional foods, nutritional supplements, and infant formulae. It is prized because of its capacity to promote health.
