Fructooligosaccharides from chicory root in powder form for personalized treatment. Suitable for diabetics, children, and pregnant women.
Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are a type of soluble carbohydrate found in many vegetables such as chicory and onions. When consumed through the diet, they are used by the friendly bacteria of the intestinal flora as a nutritional substrate. This leads to the development of the intestine’s normal bacterial flora (prebiotic action).
Nutritional studies have shown that daily intake of 8g FOS for a period of 2 weeks is accompanied by a significant increase in the number of bacteria of the normal intestinal flora (tenfold increase of Bifidobacteria and threefold increase of Lactobacilli) with a simultaneous one-fold reduction in pathogenic Bacteriodes bacteria.
Lamberts® FOS is a 100% plant-based fructooligosaccharide formula from chicory root. It is suitable for all ages (including children and pregnant women), for people following a yeast-free diet, for diabetics, for people under medication, and for long-term use.
Like all Lamberts® products, it is manufactured in the United Kingdom following the strict standards of Pharmaceutical GMP (Pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practice). Notification number EOF: 5281/26.01.2016. The Notification Number does not constitute a marketing authorization from EOF. This product is not subject to a licensing procedure.
Nutritional information:
This product can be used in one of the following 2 ways:
Prebiotic dose:
Adults: Initial dose = 5g | Maintenance dose = 10g
Children 4 years and older: Initial dose = 2.5g | Maintenance dose = 5g
For regulating intestinal function and bowel movements:
Adults: Initial dose = 5g | Regular dose = 15g | Maximum = 20g
Children 4 years and older: Initial dose = 2.5g | 3-Day Regular = 5g | Maximum = 10g
Dissolve in warm drinks or mix with cereals. You can also take it directly from the spoon. Make sure you drink 2 liters of fluids per day. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
Precautions: If any of the dosages mentioned above cause increased gas production, it is recommended to reduce the dose and gradually increase it. Gas production is a result of the metabolism of the increasing number of beneficial bacteria in the intestinal flora and is therefore a sign that the FOS is working.
Gradually, as FOS use continues, gas production will decrease as the new beneficial bacteria produced will absorb the gases. For dosages above 10g (or 5g in children): it is recommended that the daily dose be split into 2 separate doses (noon-evening), which helps reduce the amount of gas produced. FOS may cause temporary bloating. This is a temporary symptom which gradually disappears as your digestive system increases its activity. If bloating persists for more than 3 days, it is recommended to reduce the FOS dose.
Allergies: THIS FORMULA DOES NOT CONTAIN: gluten, wheat allergens, barley, soya, eggs, milk (and milk derivatives), lactose, nuts, fish, shellfish, and sulphites.
500g powder.
