XOS is one of many different prebiotics. All prebiotics promote the growth of gut microflora, good and bad, but XOS selectively promotes the growth of only beneficial microflora, namely bifidobacteria. As the number of beneficial flora increases, they can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria by competing with the harmful bacteria for resources. The beneficial flora can also lower the pH of the intestines to make it an inhospitable environment for harmful bacteria to live. Improved gut microflora has benefits for digestive, cardiovascular, and overall health, especially in improving occasional gastrointestinal disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tAOR’s XOS quickly and gently relieves occasional constipation and diarrhea. XOS can be used for the maintenance of metabolic health, and is safe for long term use, and safe in the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tWhat is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tXylo-oligosaccharide, or XOS, is a prebiotic fibre that promotes bowel regularity and digestive health. As a prebiotic, XOS is digested by the microflora found in the intestines where it is highly effective at increasing the growth of beneficial probiotics, especially Bifidobacterium, and encouraging the gut ecosystem to favour the growth of “good” bacteria. An increase in “good” bacteria is beneficial to human health for a number of reasons; it regulates bowel function to prevent and\/or relieve constipation and diarrhea, improves metabolic parameters such as reducing fat production in the liver, increases the excretion of cholesterol in the feces, improves nutrient absorption, and improves altered gut microflora in type II diabetics. XOS is also considered a source of dietary fibre, which has benefits for cardiovascular, metabolic, digestive, and cellular health, along with promoting bowel regularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tWhat does it do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThere are many different prebiotics, including fruco-oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), raffinose and inulin; however, XOS differs from these other prebiotics in a very important way. All prebiotics promote the growth of gut microflora, XOS selectively promotes the growth of only beneficial microflora, namely bifidobacteria. As the number of beneficial flora increases, they can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria by competing with them for resources. Our “good” bacteria can also help to lower the pH of the intestines to make it an inhospitable environment for the “bad” bacteria to live. XOS is considered to be one of the most beneficial prebiotics because it is highly effective at improving the GI ecosystem compared to the other prebiotics.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003e\r\n\tWho should take it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tThose suffering from constipation or diarrhea.
