Prebiotic Xylooligosaccharides

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are a type of prebiotic fiber derived from plant materials such as corn cobs, sugarcane bagasse, or bamboo. They are known to selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial gut bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria, in the colon. XOS has been recognized as safe for consumption and has gained popularity for its potential to improve gut health.
