FOS - (fructo-oligosaccharides)

Derived from chicory root which helps maintain normal intestinal health
Pleasant tasting soluble powder

The active ingredient in this product is a special carbohydrate called FOS that is present in small quantities in some vegetables. Lamberts use FOS derived from chicory root as much of the published work on FOS has been carried out using chicory. Chicory root helps maintain normal intestinal health.
The average diet provides as little as 2 to 3 grams of FOS a day, while it is estimated that the optimum intake should be 5 to 10 grams. FOS is safe to take long term. It is a natural material that works with your body, not against it and is suitable for all ages, including children and pregnant women.

If any of these intake levels cause excessive flatulence then reduce the dose and gradually build up. The flatulence is a positive sign that FOS has reached the bowel, a gas is produced which can lead to some flatulence as first however, after a few days this will disappear. For intakes over 10g (or 5g in children); dividing the intake into 2 daily doses, one at each end of the day, will help reduce flatulence.
 
FOS may cause temporary bloating. This is a short term effect and once your system 'speeds up' the bloating will disappear. If bloating continues for more than 3 days then reduce the daily intake of FOS.
 
Be sure to drink at least 2 litres of fluids a day.
 
Take as above, or as directed by a practitioner or pharmacist.
