Prebiotics XOS+GOS, Jarrow Formulas, prebiotics, substrate for the development and maintenance of beneficial bacteria functions in the intestine.

The most well-known prebiotics include:

• Fibers that contribute to maintaining the balance of the microbiota by supporting the development of beneficial bacteria.

• Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS),

Fructo-oligosaccharides are a form of carbohydrates, with the term "oligosaccharides" referring to sugars, while "fructo" pertains to fruit. Fructo-oligosaccharides serve as sugar substitutes since they contain fewer calories than sugar and do not cause an increase in blood sugar levels.
 

• Xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS)

Xylo-oligosaccharides or feruloyl oligosaccharides are present in wheat bran, barley husks, almond husks, bamboo, and corn husks, the non-edible part of corn. XOS can be extracted through the enzymatic degradation of xylan. These oligosaccharides have the property of reducing total cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes and colon cancer. They are bifidogenic.
 

• Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)

GOS are produced from lactose through transgalactosylation catalyzed by β-galactosidases. Mammalian milk is a natural source of GOS. GOS promote the growth of bifidobacteria. Among the benefits of consuming GOS are the rearrangement of the intestinal flora, regulation of the intestinal immune system, and strengthening of the intestinal barrier.

Prebiotic XOS + GOS Benefits

• Maintaining the structure and functions of the digestive system:
• Soluble dietary fibers serve as an energy source for colon cells and beneficial bacteria.
• Limits the development of various disruptors in the digestive tract and their entry into the bloodstream; promotes a reduction in intestinal pH and supports the formation, through fermentation, of compounds with inhibitory action on disruptors (e.g., acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, lactic acid).
• Maintains normal intestinal transit.
• Supports nutrient absorption.
• Maintaining immune balance:
• Supports the development of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) that stores immune cells.
• Balances manifestations associated with allergic processes and food intolerances.
• Supports the balance of intestinal flora, which can be influenced by various factors (e.g., diet, stress, travel, etc.).

Applications of Prebiotics in Colon Cancer

It is estimated that 15% of factors influencing the onset of this disease are related to lifestyle. One of these factors is the diet, as it is known that meat and alcohol increase the risk of this disease, while a diet rich in fiber and milk reduces it.

It has been demonstrated that there is a close relationship between the metabolic activities of intestinal bacteria and tumor formation. The rational use of prebiotics is based on the observation that bifidobacteria and lactobacilli do not produce carcinogenic compounds.
Consumption of prebiotics has been shown to significantly reduce colon cell and genotoxicity and increase the function of the intestinal barrier.
