Fructooligosaccharides are made up of short-chain fructose molecules and are found naturally in many foods, such as vegetables, fruits and honey. Different from ordinary sucrose, fructo-oligosaccharide is mainly metabolized by the liver in the body and does not cause blood sugar to rise rapidly. It is a natural ingredient prebiotic. The molecular weight of fructo-oligosaccharide is relatively large. After oral administration, it can quickly absorb water in the intestine, have a laxative effect, improve the intestinal microecological environment, and play a certain role in maintaining healthy intestinal mucosa throughout growth.
Fructooligosaccharides can promote the absorption of some nutrients, especially calcium and iron.
Fructooligosaccharide has a laxative effect and is beneficial to people who often suffer from constipation.
Fructooligosaccharides have the effect of lowering triglycerides and cholesterol. Therefore, patients with hyperlipidemia can consume some fructooligosaccharides.
Fructooligosaccharides have a protective effect on teeth. Fructo-oligosaccharide has a sweet taste, but it is not absorbed by the human body, so obese people or people with diabetes do not need to worry and can consume it.
