TIENS FOS Syrup
Dietary supplement with the fiber fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
60 ml / 6 sachets
A dietary supplement in the form of fructooligosaccharide syrup. 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 placed on proper functioning of the digestive system, which forms the foundation of health. This explains the popularity of dietary supplements that can improve digestion. Tiens FOS Syrup is one of them.
The intestinal flora has a major influence on our health. It contains both beneficial bacteria species and those that can have a negative impact on the body. According to the latest data, between 400 and 500 different bacterial species colonize the intestines. 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. However, the balance of this specific "ecosystem" can be disrupted by factors such as medication, stress, or aging.
Beneficial probiotic bacteria include Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, which predominate and occur naturally in the digestive tract of a healthy person. Clinical research confirms their valuable influence on the digestive system and the formation of proper intestinal flora.
To increase the population of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal flora, one can provide them with fermented dairy products or pharmaceutical preparations. The growth of probiotic organisms can also be achieved through the intake of prebiotics in the diet. These are indigestible food components that stimulate the growth or activity of bacteria that inhabit the large intestine and promote the health of the host. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, health begins in the large intestine.
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 prebiotics described and produced on an industrial scale to date are all saccharides.
They include a number of indigestible oligosaccharides (NDOs) and some polysaccharides. Prebiotic polysaccharides include inulin and some types of starch that are resistant to the action of digestive enzymes. Among the oligosaccharides with documented prebiotic properties are fructooligosaccharides (FOS). FOS syrup is based on these named properties.
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are a type of soluble fiber found in plants such as chicory, corn, asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, and soybeans. They cannot be digested in the small intestine. Instead, they migrate to the lower intestine, where they act as a prebiotic food source for the intestinal flora. The human intestinal microflora converts FOS into short-chain fatty acids, which nourish colon cells and provide a host of other benefits.
