XYLO OLIGOSACCHARIDE PREBIOTIC DIETARY FIBER BIFIDOBACTERIA Xylo-oligosaccharides, also named as XOS, is a type of functional polymer sugar composed of 2-7 xylose molecules bonded with β (1-4) glycosidic bonds.For characteristics1. High selective proliferation of bifidobacterium Its effect is 20 times of other polymer sugars; it can hardly be digested and absorbed, but directly enters large intestine and is preferably utilized by bifidobacterium to proliferate beneficial bacterium for human body and inhibit growth and proliferation of other harmful bacterium.2. Difficult decomposition by human digestive enzymes Digestion tests with salivary juice, gastric juice, pancreatic juice and intestinal juice show that, almost all of the digestive juices can hardly decompose xylo-oligosaccharides, which, with nearly zero calorie, does not affect glucose concentration, nor increase insulin in blood glucose and form fat deposition. It is especially applicable for those suffering from diabetes, obesity and hypertension. 3. Sound acid and thermal stability It is basically not decomposed after heated to 100°C under acid condition (pH=2.5-8), which covers PH value of the vast majority of food system, and may be broadly applied in fields of food, medicine and health products. 4. Small effective intake: Daily effective intake is 0.7-1.4g.Major functions1. Reducing production of toxic fermentation and harmful bacterium; 2. Inhibiting pathogenic bacterium and diarrhea; 3. Improving constipation; 4. Protecting liver; 5. Lowering serum cholesterol; 6. Lowering blood pressure; 7. Strengthening immunity of human body; 8. Anti-cancer; 9. Promoting absorption of calcium and iron, and improving retention; 10. Promoting the body to produce various nutrients, e.g. B vitamins, niacin and folic acid. 11. It will not cause tooth decay, and will inhibit growth of dental bacteria.Applicate feildMedicine and health products: applicable for those who suffer from gastrointestinal disorder, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, arteriosclerosis and tooth decay Food: table food, baked food, condiments, deserts and snacks, various canned food, candy Drinks: various drinks, especially yogurt, lactic acid bacterium beverages, carbonic acid beverages and other acid drinks Packaging Specification of Xylo-oligosaccharidesProduct & Model: XYLO-OLIGOSACCHARIDEXOS95P(95% POWDER of XOS)Lot NO. 20090822Amount: 25gSample From: MFR DEPT.
