(former ELIMINEX)
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), are a form of soluble carbohydrates, found in many vegetables, such as artichokes and onions. When taken orally they are only partially absorbed, as most of them are used as a nutrient substrate for the growth of the normal bacterial flora of the intestine (mainly includes the genera Bifidobacteria and Lactobacillus).
This results in the prebiotic action of fructo-oligosaccharides, namely the growth of the bacteria of the normal intestinal flora and the reduction of pathogenic bacteria and fungi. The prebiotic function of FOS leads to the improvement of intestinal tone, the regulation of the peristaltic movements of the intestine and the improvement of gastrointestinal disturbances due to intestinal dysfunction.
Nutritional research has shown that the daily intake of 8g FOS for a period of 2 weeks is accompanied by an increase in the number of bacteria of the normal intestinal flora. (Prebiotic effect). More specifically, it is accompanied by a tenfold increase in Bifidobacteria, a threefold increase in Lactobacilli, while causing a simultaneous reduction by one time of the pathogenic microorganisms Bacteriodes.
It is suitable for all ages, including children and pregnant women, as well as for people on a yeast-free diet, and for people under medication. It can be used for a long period of time.
Suitable for vegetarians
Dosage: (1 teaspoon=5g)
This product can be used in one of the following 2 ways:
I) In small doses, for the maintenance of the general health of the intestine and as a prebiotic
II) In larger doses, for the maintenance of intestinal functionality
Prebiotic dose:
Starting dose Maintenance dose
Adults: 5g 10g
Children 4 years and older: 2.5g 5g
To regulate intestinal function and bowel movements:
Starting dose 3 day dose Regular dose Maximum dose
Adults: Try 5g 15g 20g

Dissolve in warm drinks or mix with cereals. It can also be taken directly from the spoon. Make sure to drink 2 liters of fluids per day
Storage: Store in a cool and dry environment and protect from light.
Allergies: None
Precautions: If any of the above dosage patterns cause increased gas production, it is recommended to reduce the dose taken and gradually increase it. Gas production is a product of the metabolism of the increasing number of bacteria in the intestinal flora and therefore a sign that the FOS is working.
Gradually and as long as the use of FOS 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 to take the daily dose in 2 separate doses (noon-evening), which helps to reduce the amount of gas produced. FOS may temporarily cause bloating. This is a temporary symptom that gradually disappears as your digestive system increases its activity. If bloating continues for more than 3 days, it is recommended to reduce the dose of FOS.
